By Force Alone - Lavie Tidhar

A retelling of Arthurian myth from World Fantasy Award-winner Lavie Tidhar, By Force Alone.Everyone thinks they know the story of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table.The fact is they don''t know sh*t.Arthur? An over-promoted gangster.Merlin? An eldritch parasite. Excalibur? A shady deal with a watery arms dealer. Britain? A clogged sewer that Rome abandoned just as soon as it could.A savage and cutting epic fantasy, equally poetic and profane, By Force Alone is a magical adventure and a subversive masterwork.
