I have Jack Whyte’s whole post Roman/Arthur series-it is a great read over and over-I like that it is not romanc-ey, no magical explanations of events, good historical portrayal of social conventions, military strategies, etc of the time-probably very close to the truth of who Arthur and his companions really were-post-Roman Britons who were soldiers and rulers-and just like others of that time, not chivalrous and sometimes downright brutal...
Agreed. Plus the fact that it makes one think about a civilization collapsing and how to prepare for it.
