Description
The Hounds of Avalon are coming . . . For these are the twilight days, when eternal winter falls and the gods destroy themselves in civil war . . . when an invasion force of ghastly power threatens to eradicate all life. Humanity's last chance lies with two friends, as different as night and day, but bound together by an awesome destiny. Hunter: a warrior, a rake, an assassin; Hal: a lowly records clerk in a Government office. They must pierce a mystery surrounding the myths of King Arthur show more to find the dreaming hero who will ride out of the mists of legend to save the world. But time is running out, for when the Hounds of Avalon appear, all hope is lost . . . HOUNDS OF AVALON is the latest instalment in Mark Chadbourn's brilliant new sequence: exciting, evocative, terrifying and awe-inspiring. show lessTags

It takes a moment or two to get up to speed.
It pulls together characters from Devil in the Green and Queen of Sinister and some new ones too to give them a new group of Brothers and Sisters of the Dragon. There's also a rather welcome look at the survivors of the old brothers and sisters from the Age of Misrule series.
The world is going to hell in a handbasket. Our heroes have to try and stop it. Lots of shit hits the fan, we have a fimbulwinter and something that fractures the Golden Ones into distinct groups. We have human politics making a mess of things as usual too.
It won't work as a stand alone despite a couple of glosses, in fact I'll be going back to read the earlier books because it's been a while since I have and there are show more details I don't recall clearly, but it's definitely good. show less

Conclusion of the Dark Age trilogy (or is it?). This is a cliffhanger ending, leaving us waiting for the next book. We know more is to come since we are in the midst of a crisis and the resolution is not yet. Will humanity survive, or will anti-life be victorious?
