THE FOREVER KING

THE FOREVER KING by Molly Cochran and Warren Murphy definitely gives off a suspenseful air to it, making you want to read more. I have read this once before, and I read it in one sitting.I loved how the writing flowed together perfectly, in such great detail that the images just flew into my mind. It surprised me how they wrote it, how they would make you think one thing would happen but then the exact opposite would instead.It is my all time favorite book. This is what the cover gives as a description; In a darkened house not far from the place where Camelot may once have stood, a man schemes. Once the cup that men call the holey grail was his. Soon it will be his again. The grail's protectors are few and weak:an alcohol soaked ex-FBI agent; a courtly old gentleman who one, long ago, held awesome power, and a ten year old boy. Arthur Blessing is no ordinary boy. The Grail was his by chance, this time,. but the power to keep it- a power as ancient as time itself- is his by right. Now he must stay alive long enough to use that power. Arthur needs a defender, a man of great strength, skill, purity, and faith. Fate has given him Hal Woczniak, a broken-down drifter plagued by nightmare- memories of a dead child. When Hal quit the FBI, he practically quit human race as well. Now, at the darkest time in his life, he is offered the chance to redeem himself. Once he failed to save a child. Once he failed to save a world. He will not fail again.

  2. What time period is this in? It sounds like it's a modern-themed book, but it's relativity hard to tell. Also, did the unpredictability ever become annoying? Many books follow a logical plot, so this must have been different from what you have read before. What kind of power is it that they "wield"? Is it a form of magic? Or is it more like political power? It sounds like a good book. Can I borrow it once you are done with it? I need something new to read.

  3. Matilda, It sounds like a really fun book. Maybe I'll borrow it after TJ! I like the way you include your response as well as the summary of the plot.
