Excalibur. Legend has it that he who carries King Arthur's mighty sword into battle will be invincible. But for more than a thousand years, the secret to the whereabouts of this powerful weapon has been lost...until now.
Archaeologist Nina Wilde is hoping for a little R&R with her fiancé, former SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase. But the couple's plans are dashed when a meeting with an old acquaintance propels Nina and Eddie into a razor's-edge hunt across the globe—battling a team of elite mercenaries who will stop at nothing in order to claim a prize every treasure hunter has coveted since the final days of Camelot. Nina and Eddie must do everything they can to keep the legendary blade from falling into the wrong hands. Because the truth behind the sword's power—and those who seek it—will not only shock the world but plunge it into a new and more devastating era of war.

— Colin, 1/9/2014" Lots of fun; a roller coaster ride again. Wonder if Maximov will turn up in another book? "
— Sooziii, 12/25/2013" This one became a little more language-y, that's a technical term. "
— Tina, 12/16/2013" I think this is my favourite of the series so far, might be because I am fascinated by Arthurian legends anyway.... you get more background on Eddie in this and that's always good "
— Diane, 12/6/2013" This was another well written thriller by Andy McDermott. Nina and Eddie actually find the sword less than halfway through and the rest of the book is them trying to get the sword from their enemies. Good book. "
— Austin, 11/29/2013" Mr McDermott spends too much time on the fights and escapes. he goes into too much detail. I found myselyskipping entire pages and not missing any of the story "
— Daniel, 11/27/2013" Favourite line... "Having your beliefs challenged is the only way that new discoveries can be made." "
