Knyght Ther Was

Knyght Ther Was

Knyght Ther Was

Robert F. Young

In 2178, time travel has been outlawed, but Tom Mallory doesn't play by the rules. He's the best time-thief alive, and his latest target is the ultimate prize: the Holy Grail, hidden in 542 AD at the castle of Carbonek, guarded by Sir Launcelot himself. Pull off the job, fence it to some 22nd-century collector, and retire in luxury. Simple, right? But history doesn't like being robbed. As Tom quickly discovers, the past has a way of holding onto what belongs to it, and the legends aren't just stories. Young writes with sharp wit and genuine tenderness for the Arthurian myths he's skewering. This is a time-travel heist that明白 plays as a meditation on what we take from history versus what history takes from us. Fast, fun, and sharper than it looks at first glance.
