Chris’ Picks for March
March is special at Perseid because Chris Morris was born on the Ides and loves to make special picks to spotlight. This month he has chosen M.E.D.U.S.A. because of its increasing relevance to space-based defense and the vulnerabilities of communications technology we take for granted suddenly coming under threat. Chris has chosen The Stalk because we are parting the veil on deep space and things so far away in distance are seeming closer in time. For his third book, Chris chose Tempus Unbound because being a New Yorker, he can’t resist imagining his philosopher/warrior/immortal hero wreaking havoc in a place he knows so well. Happy Birthday, Chris!
March‘s Feature
Fifteen hundred years have turned history into legend… After three generations of struggle against ruthless invaders, Britain has finally clawed its way back within reach of peace and prosperity. Across the sea, Rome is crumbling under an onslaught of barbarian attacks, internal corruption and civil war. Desperate for allies, Rome’s last great emperor looks to Britain and the rising fame of her High King, Arthur. Arthur believes the coming war is inevitable, but many are opposed. Dissent, intrigue and betrayal threaten to tear the fragile British alliance apart from within, while the enemies of Britain wait for the first sign of weakness. Meanwhile, Gawain, a young warrior craving fame, is swept up in Arthur’s wake as the king raises an army. While Gawain’s wife and kin face their own struggles at home, the young warrior finds himself taking on more than he bargained for, and heading into the greatest battle his people have faced in generations. The Retreat to Avalon is the exciting beginning of the historical fiction trilogy The Arthurian Age, introducing readers to the origins of King Arthur and the world he lived and fought for.
