Synopsis

This isn't your grandma's King Arthur story.Nate Arturi isn't a knight in shining armor. He sure as hell isn't a king. The last time someone called him heroic, it was because he fetched his neighbor's corgi off the roof. But when an ancient alien beacon awakens on Earth, sounding the call to enemies near and far, the Merlin is left with little choice.Ambushed by a hulking alien brute and tricked into accepting a foul-mouthed sword from a homeless wizard, Nate suddenly finds his senior year at Penn State more than a little out of hand. But when an armada of butt-ugly troglodans and exotic gorgon killers starts raining from the sky, one thing becomes inescapably clear:Unless he mans up and gets that damned beacon off of his planet, everything he knows is about to be burned to a crisp.And that's only the beginning of the galaxy's problems…

Arthurian Space Opera FTW I went into this pretty sure that I'd enjoy it, since I've enjoyed pretty much everything I've read by Luke Mitchell. The start was a little slow, and there were a couple of times it felt like it was relying too heavily on certain character tropes, but as I look back, I kind......more

Another fantastic story from Luke. Wonderful characters and character interactions. Lots of action and plenty of humor. Nate's growth over the course of the book was believably told. Even when you wanted to slap him for being stupid, you could still sympathize with his plight and understand his failu......more
