Book
By force alone / Lavie Tidhar.
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. A savage and cutting epic fantasy, equally poetic and profane, 'By Force Alone' is a retelling of the Arthurian myth for the age of Brexit and Trump. Lavie Tidhar is the World Fantasy Award-winning author of 'Osama', and the Campbell Award-winning author of 'Central Station'. His work has been compared to that of Philip K. Dick by the Guardian and the Financial Times.
