Enthralling

The continuance of Jack Whyte's "Camulod Chronicles" which combines great historical detail with fictional and nonfictional characters. A truly epic saga of the fifth century set in what is now modern Switzerland and France. A great portrayal of the desperate struggles against anarchy as Europe's kingdoms emerge in the turmoil of the declining Roman Empire.

This series would make a great series of movies.


Fabulous!

Just the type of book I expect from Jack Whyte. It's full of period details and it thoroughly goes into the life of an important character in the story of Camelot and, of course, comes at it from a new perspective. I can hardly wait for the next installment!

Good but pointless to the series

"The first move by an enemy ride to disengage and ride away caught my eye, and i drove him out of the saddle with a hard shot that skewered his cuirass between his shoulder blades."

The Lance Thrower by Jack Whyte is the 6th book in the Camulod Chronicles. It's a historical fiction about Clothar's early life, training, his part in his cousin Gunthar's war to take over his uncle Ban's kingdom and how he became King Arthur's knight. By itself it is an interesting read but it had too many pointless details and it digresses from the series. I would have preferred it to be more intertwined with the series but it was still an interesting book.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action and adventure but doesn't mind pointless details.

Magnificent!

Jack Whyte is truly a master of the art of fictional writing! Not only are his stories historically accurate for the most part, they are magnificently told tales that draw the reader instantly into the lives of the characters as the story unfolds. Whyte's grasp of writing is such that it generates reader empathy, a sense of understanding and relation between the reader and the characters of the novel! An excellent read!
