IN PERILOUS TIMES LIKE THESE, THE REALM DOESN'T JUST NEED A HERO.
IT NEEDS A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR. Sir Kay and his fellow knights
awake from their mythical slumber whenever Britain has need of
them; they fought at Agincourt and at the Somme. But in these
perilous modern times, the realm is more divided than ever, a
dragon has been seen for the first time in centuries, and Kay is
not the only ancient and terrible thing to come crawling up out of
the ground . . . Perilous Times is a fiercely entertaining
contemporary take on the myths of Camelot, which asks: what happens
when the Knights of the Round Table return to fix the problems of
the modern world? This debut is perfect for fans of Terry
Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Ben Aaronovitch. 'Funny, weird, wise,
lovely, and full of mad sh*t. You've never read anything like it
before, and you should bang that pre-order button now' Stuart
Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle 'Lee has
brought Arthur's legends into these modern, perilous, times'
Fantasy Hive 'I HOWLED my way through this book! Smart, funny,
refreshing fantasy. . . Anyone who liked Rivers of London will love
this' Natasha Pulley 'Forget the once-and-future-king; this is a
once-and-future classic' Jackson Ford 'Lee has a maestro's eye for
satire' Richard Swan 'I've never read a book that treads so happily
the ground between making you think, and making you laugh out loud'
Beth Underdown 'A brilliant collision of ancient mysticism with
modern madness' Robert Jackson Bennett 'Relentlessly entertaining,
deadpan hilarious and full of heart. Give it five pages and you'll
be hooked' Scott Hawkins 'Maintains a steady faith in humanity's
ability to bring itself back from the brink' Publishers Weekly
'Perilous Times has knights, mad science, corporate villainy . . .
and dragons ready to burn it all down... delightful' Kevin Hearne
