Sci-fi intersects with Fantasy for this interesting hybrid of Arthurian Saga, Time Travel Conundrum, and Sorcery. Unfortunately it drags on for about 100 pages too many and I had to force myself to finish it. ( )

Merlin imprisoned still exerts power in 20th cent.

Merlin wants to restore Camelot and jumps around in time trying to bring that about. It's an interesting idea for a story, but this one is disjointed. There are multiple POVs, no real protagonist, unclear motivations, convoluted sequences of cause and effect, and prose that often 'tells' the story in a distant and disinterested tone. It's not very engaging. I didn't care for it. ( )

This was an interesting take on the Arthurian legend. ( )

This was a nice “not really a re-telling” of the Arthurian legend. This story is mainly about Merlin and how he wanders through time fighting to save Arthur and continue the ideals of Camelot. Saberhagen is a great storyteller, and this book doesn’t disappoint. ( )
