Perfect for you if...

You love the idea of Arthurian legend reimagined in space but with a protagonist who's genuinely unprepared and sarcastic about the whole thing.
You enjoy science fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously, with weird aliens, magic tech, and characters who banter their way through apocalypse.
You want a sprawling space opera that respects your time—500 pages of actual plot momentum rather than endless worldbuilding.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your fantasy completely grounded in medieval settings with zero sci-fi elements or laser swords.
You're looking for a gritty, serious tone—this book leans hard into humour and absurdist situations.
You want a standalone novel. This is book one of a saga, so you'll need to commit to the series.

About this book

Nate Arturi is an ordinary college student at Penn State—not a knight, not a king, and hardly heroic. His life changes when an ancient alien beacon activates on Earth, drawing the attention of hostile forces across the galaxy. A homeless wizard tricks him into accepting a foul-mouthed sword, and Nate is ambushed by a powerful alien creature. With an armada of alien forces descending on the planet, Nate must learn to wield the Excalibur and stop the invaders before they destroy everything he knows. The first book in The Excalibur Knights Saga, this story reimagines Arthurian legend as a space opera adventure.
