Is it true King Arthur was a real person, who profoundly influenced actual history? The evidence presented here comes from many reliable ancient sources depicting Britain around the year A.D. 500, and from numerous modern historians who have developed methods of examining ancient records to uncover hidden kernels of historical truth. Accepted history is compared with intriguing details imbedded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and other legendary sources. The most valuable contribution is a careful study of major events in Gaul and Britain during the Arthurian era to show how a leader of Arthur's stature could have caused the known victories in battle and shifts in political power. Every major battle in which King Arthur supposedly engaged is treated as an actual happening and described in meticulous detail, complete with maps and campaign charts. What just a few years ago seemed a futile quest now is being taken seriously: that only a historical person who truly achieved greatness could have inspired such timeless legends.

Twenty-four hours is a lot of time to kill. Tomorrow, a life will hang in the balance. "Watermelon Row," a suspenseful, intricately plotted novel, tracks a day in the life of three men on the brink of violence and ruin. It tails Ed Harrison, a tough old man in his seventies, Scott Venn, a yuppie lawyer/sports agent, and Peter James, an unemployed loser, surveilling their dubious stories 'round the clock, from the relative sanctuary of their own beds to the place where they all fell most at home: The Rail?their favourite strip club?and their stage-side seats in "watermelon row." Strangers whose lives curiously dovetail, each man needs to escape himself. In booze. In the illusion of sex. But, hellbent on self-destruction, somebody goes too far. In the tradition of Martin Amis's "Success" and John O'Brien's "Leaving Las Vegas," Michael Holmes offers a brutally candid view of desperate living. "Watermelon Row" is both haute noir, and a work of surprising beauty and grace.
