He sprints from Washington to Venice and London, winding up in a little known corner of Wales. As Stone seeks to save his friends, he battles Druids, the modern revival of a hate-inspired pagan group. Already they have killed and destabilized governments in pursuit of their secret agenda, and they're willing to sacrifice anyone who stands in their way. In the United States, one of their own is perilously close to becoming President.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing clues left by a twelfth-century Welsh monk who also fought to save the sword, Stone finds they have much in common. Both doubt their ability to fulfill their quests, and both battle enemies who want to kill them and destroy all organized religion, especially Christianity.\u003cbr\u003eExcalibur is the key.\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author: \u003cbr\u003eBarrie Doyle is a former journalist, PR consultant, college professor, and broadcaster.
