Galahad - E-book - ePub

Once upon a time, a knight of perfect virtue rode forth from Camelot to quest for the Holy Grail. Plagued by wondrous visions and hounded by shadowy villains, the legendary Sir Galahad continues his quest, awakening in a car outside an office building where he has an appointment with his destiny.Few legends tell of Sir Galahad's agony and ecstasy, because the perfect knight needed to be perfect to achieve the object of his quest.
In this fantastic tale, Grant Piercy explores the existential pursuit of meaning in a meaningless world through the eyes of the famed knight now forced to view his reflection in an endless hall of mirrors. Beside Sir Galahad ride the brusque Sir Bors, a giant of a man, and the lithe Sir Percival, who hides much behind a hooded cloak. All the while, they are followed by the murderous Mordred, who has designs on the kingdom all his own.
Piercy weaves multiple forms into the legend of Camelot and the Grail, intercutting chapters with imaginative "visions" of other stories united by their reflection of the hero.
