Appartient à la sérieModern Arthur (2)
Arthur Pendragon, the Once and Future King, has pursued his political career all the way to the White House. Then tragedy strikes, in the form of an assassination attempt that leaves his wife Gwen at death's door. To save her, Arthur must once again seek the Holy Grail, the Cup whose magical powers can heal her body and soul... And as Arthur knows from experience, grail-hunting can be a very dangerous occupation. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Story wise, there is a massive terrorist threat and as part of the campaign, Gwen is shot and practically brain dead. The trauma, along with the fact that Percival has disappeared, and Merlin is frozen as a statue leads to Arthur making a deal with Miss Basil to get the terrorist in exchange for Arthur giving up the presidency. Arthur, with no stomach for the job, makes the deal. Eventually, Percival returns with good news regarding the Holy Grail and he & Arthur decide to take Gwen to find it.
As I said, this wasn't bad, it just lacked a lot of the charm of the first book. There were moments - Arthur and Gwen's joking about her being a floozie before she's shot etc, but it's just very heavy the whole way through. This Arthur is very likeable (in complete contrast to some that you read) and you kinda wish that people around him would let up on their expectations on him.
Anyway - as the middle book in a trilogy it was okay, but I just hope the third book gets some of the humour back again. ( )
