THE RELUCTANT KNIGHT - Sir Crassmore had a talent for getting himself into the center of any trouble that came along. There could be big trouble in the Beyonds where anyone or anything might wander in from the innumerable realities of time and space. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The book starts rather slowly with a pair of brothers dealing with an invasion of barbarian lizard-riders; Sandur, the elder, the "Outrider" beloved of father and country alike, and his younger sibling Crassmor. The later portions of the book treat Crassmor's maturation into a full-grown Knight of a decidedly roguish bent, and of a plot to destroy the singularity.
Like Kim Newman's "Anno Dracula" series, there are a number of cameos from various historical periods and myths that pop up; I won't ruin the surprises or fun of spotting them, but it definitely adds a dimension of enjoyment to the book trying to figure out who these turn out to be.
In the end, the novel reads like a condensed trilogy, and it certainly was written with the hope that there would be sequels; not all threads are tied up, and the close of the story finds Crassmor embarking upon another adventure; one, sadly, we are never destined to discover. ( )
