<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>John Taylor is a P.I. He's also the reluctant owner of Excalibur, the legendary sword. To find out why he was chosen to wield it, John must consult the Last Defenders of Camelot, a group of knights that dwells in a place that some find more frightening than the Nightside.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Welcome to the Nightside. For those foolish enough to seek it out, it's literal tourist trap, populated by beings, human and otherwise, who have never seen the sun rise. A place where your dreams can come true--as long as your nightmares don't get you first. <p/>My name is John Taylor. I'm a PI with a special talent for finding lost things. I'm also the reluctant owner of a very special--and dangerous--weapon: Excalibur, the legendary sword (which isn't what you think it is, and never was). Excalibur chose me, and to find out why, I'll have to consult the last defenders of Camelot, a group of knights who dwell in a place that some find more frightening than the Nightside. <p/>London Proper. It's been years since I've been back--and there are good reasons for that...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Simon R.
