Fall of the Green Land reviews
“The iconic names of Arthurian legend retain some of the identifying traits we expect, yet they are freshly drawn, relevant, and have agency under the author’s pen.” – L.S. Collison, author of Nurse Kit Carson’s Knife & Gun Club series
“The characters and settings of the story were filled with wonder, excitement, adventure, and thrill. All elements of science fiction, adventure, dystopian natured material, and post-apocalyptic notions are embodied in this storyline.” – Jeyran Main, Review Tales
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did you write Fall of the Green Land? I’ve always loved the King Arthur books, but I wanted to find a new way to tell the stories in a fantasy fiction novel and bring in modern themes. I chose to combine the ancient legends with concerns about our planet’s environmental future.
Can I read just the first book and skip the others? Yes, you can, but you’ll miss out on some exciting stories, such as when Sir Percival and his amazing sister Dee travel to the Hot Lands to find the Grail in Return to the Green Land.
Do I have to be familiar with the King Arthur stories? If you’re unfamiliar with the ancient stories, I’d recommend reading The Once and Future King, by T.H. White. It’s considered one of the classics of the genre.
