Gordon R. Dickson has entertained for over two decades with his tales of
Jim Eckert. Now the Dragon Knight must confront the three disasters that
lie in wait for any visitor to the English Middle Ages: War, plague, and
Plantagenets. The plague is caused by a covert invasion of shape
changing goblins who seek to take over the world. Meanwhile, Eckert's
castle is invaded by Plantagenets: Edward III, his son Edward The Black
Prince, and Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent. Against the background of a
full-scale human-versus-goblin war, these worthies move in a swirl of
intrigue and dynastic tension.
