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.
