About this listen

All he wanted was a normal life.

Alex McTiernan is an ordinary college student if you don't count his social awkwardness, his sketchy past, and a routine bout of schizophrenia. Normal and boring, that is, until a series of dreams leads him to believe he is a descendant of the legendary King Arthur.

Guided by an ancient prophecy written by a madman, Alex races to find Excalibur, the long-lost sword of his ancestor. Now if he can just avoid getting caught in between two warring secret organizations as well as the police, he might stand a chance. Oh, except for that pesky magical assassin sent to assure the sword falls into the wrong hands and that Arthur's bloodline fades into history.

Potential not fully realised

This author took some familiar elements from the Arthurian legends and gave them a new twist, which produced an entertaining story, but unfortunately some of the characters and dialogue didn't match up to these interesting ideas as well as they could have done and the lead character, Alex was one of those that didn't really reach their full potential in this book.

The narration was decent enough, but could have enhanced the book with a bit more distinctiveness and life in the various characters.

Overall, this book feels like it was nearly very good, the potential is certainly there for the rest of the series if the author and narrator can both deliver a little more.
