In the best-selling tradition of The Swerve and A Distant Mirror, The Verge tells the story of a period that marked a decisive turning point for both European and world history. Here, author Patrick Wyman examines two complementary and contradictory sides of the same historical coin: the world-altering implications of the developments of printed mass media, extreme taxation, exploitative globalization, humanistic learning, gunpowder warfare, and mass religious conflict in the long term, and their intensely disruptive consequences in the short-term.

For 2,500 years, the Celts have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. Barry Cunliffe's classic study of the ancient Celtic world was first published in 1997. Since then, huge advances have taken place in our knowledge: new finds, new ways of using DNA records to understand Celtic origins, new ideas about the proto-urban nature of early chieftains' strongholds. All these developments are part of this fully updated edition.

Yet for some reason, he finds himself speeding north with his roommate Simon on a lark — half-heartedly searching for a long-extinct creature allegedly spotted in a misty glen in Scotland. Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis accidently crosses through a mystical gateway where two worlds meet: into the time-between-times, as the ancient Celts called it.

Publisher's summary
The best-selling author of the acclaimed Merlin Trilogy returns to the magical world of King Arthur and Camelot - to tell a story of daring adventure, unexpected love, and unsurpassed enchantment.
Eager, burning, and young, Alexander has come of age to take vengeance on the treacherous King of Cornwall who murdered his father. He sets off toward Camelot to seek justice from King Arthur, only to be diverted by the beautiful and sensual Morgan le Fay, Arthur's sister. Using her wiles and her enchantments, Morgan persuades the young prince to attempt a theft of the Holy Grail. He is unaware her motives are of the darkest nature.
Motherless daughter of a royal duke, Alice has lived a life of lively adventure, accompanying her father on his yearly pilgrimages. Now, on her father's final visit to Jerusalem, she comes under the protection of a young prince whose brothers were murdered, a prince who is in possession of an enchanted silver cup believed to be the mysterious Holy Grail itself.
Thus the stage is set for two young seekers to meet - and to find not what they are searching for but, instead, the greatest treasure of all: love.

A Little Better Than Average
This is not one of Mary Stewart's better books. A spin-off of her Merlin series, it lacks the mystic wonder or depth of political intrigue the series had. It was enjoyable for what it was, but hardly better than average. The narrator was superb in capturing both the tone and the feel of the story, and in bringing life to the characters in it.

The Prince and the Pilgrim
I love Mary Stewart! This 5th book in her Arthurian saga is no disappointment! Do the series. You will have only one regret - that there are only 5 books! She is a master storyteller and a master of detailed description. I always feel as if I am there riding horseback beside the characters as they journey across Britain.

Mary Stewart perfectly captures the legend and the language.
Mary Stewart’s books of the time of King Arthur and Merlin are my favorites and have been for 50 years. I discovered them in my 20s. I am now in my 70s. To me, they are perfection. This book is the last in the series, and like the others is poetically written and romantically captivating. No one writes more beautifully than Mary Stewart.
I highly recommend this book and Stewart’s others in this series to anyone enamored with the timeless legend of King Arthur.
