Dream of Eagles Book 2: The Singing Sword: Bk. 2 (A Dream of Eagles) - Tapa blanda

"Whyte's found the key to refreshing the legend and making it live again.... The wealth and richness of the historical detail are fascinating. If James Michener is the past master of the sweeping epic, then Jack Whyte may well be the future one." - Calgary Herald "To read Jack Whyte is to surrender to a storyteller of the old school." - Quill & Quire "A superb piece of historical fiction, rich in detail and incident." - The Globe and Mail "Dazzling ... perhaps not since the early 1970s, with Mary Stewart's The Crystal Cave and The Hollow Hills, have the Roman Empire and the Arthurian legends been intertwined with as much skill and authenticity." - Publishers Weekly "Rich in historical detail, especially where warfare and the use of cavalry are concerned.... We are not just dipped, we are plunged into the minutiae of life in post-Roman Britain." - The Hamilton Spectator "Whyte makes the reader think, Yes, this is the way it could have been.... [He] has taken the time to build the Arthurian legend piece by piece and make it come alive." - The Leader-Post (Regina) "If you have even a passing interest in Arthurian legend or the history of ancient Britain, you must read these books. You will not be disappointed." - The Telegram (St. John's) "A remarkable saga, full of drama, suspense, battles, humour and set into a most accurate and detailed picture of the times." - The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo)

Born of the chaos of the Dark Ages, the Dream of Eagles produced a king, a country and an everlasting legend--Camelot It is 395 A.D., and as the Roman armies withdraw from Britain, anarchy threatens the colony that will one day be known as Camelot. Creating their own army and joining with the Celtic people of King Ullic Pendragon, the colonists emerge as a new breed of Britons, ready to forge the government that will be the Round Table and its Knights and to prepare the groundwork for the future coronation of Arthur, first High King of Britain. With all the drama, passion and violence of England's most vibrant history, The Singing Sword continues Jack Whyte's bestselling chronicle of the dream that gave birth to an enduring legend.
