Knight Life

by Peter David

While I’d found David’s style fun in his Star Trek novels, I had trouble getting into his non-ST book, Sir Apropos of Nothing. I wanted to give him another chance, but going in I wasn’t expecting much from Knight Life.

Though Knight Life was still fluffy, it was much more enjoyable than Sir Apropos. I got suck in right away and had a fun ride until the last page. King Arthur has returned, and is running for mayor of New York City. The whole gang is present — Merlin, looking like an 11-year-old boy since he’s been aging backwards all these years, Morgan Le Fey, nasty as ever, and Modred. There is even a Guinevere of sorts — she is a reincarnation of the original Guinevere and goes buy the name Gwen DeVere Queen.

Fun read. I’ll have to look up the sequel: One Knight Only
