“To read Jack Whyte is to surrender to a storyteller of the old school … When Clothar finally meets Arthur, most readers will experience a shock of both recognition of an archetypal moment and fresh suspense.” - Quill & Quire
Book Description
In Clothar the Frank, the first novel of a two-book miniseries called The Golden Eagle, Jack Whyte invites us to explore his cast of fascinating characters during the reign and tragic downfall of the Riothamus Arthur, High King of All Britain. From Gaul, now the land of the Franks, comes young Clothar, the son of one king and the nephew of another. He has just survived a fierce civil war in Benwick, the land of his childhood—a war involving his own family, pitting brother against brother—to discover that his fate is not in his own hands. Instead it rests with his teacher and mentor, the renowned and powerful Bishop Germanus; Germanus's old friend, the elusive and enigmatic Caius Merlyn Britannicus; and Merlyn's young ward, the future king, Arthur Pendragon. Clothar's story is the story of Lancelot—his past, his loves, his loyalty and his role as King Arthur's friend and betrayer.

Lance Thrower / Clothar the Frank,
By Songstress (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lance Thrower (Mass Market Paperback)
Just a quick FYI... "Clothar the Frank" and "The Lance Thrower" are the same book..."Clothar..." is the ORIGINAL and Canadian (and most of the world) title of this book, which was changed for American readers... from what I understand, due to something about concern that it might not be understood WHO the book was about, without spoon-feeding it to them... Oh brother! Excellent read! Highly recommended, as is the whole series...
5.0 out of 5 stars

I've loved this series for years. My Dad bought me the Skystone for my birthday a few years back and had it signed by Jack Whyte. Been a fan ever since. I've also read the Templar trilogy and will mostly like read the Laird book as well. Keep up the good work Jack!

Same Book, Different title,
By Granny Moira (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clothar the Frank (Hardcover)
I see you are selling "Clothar the Frank" and "The Lance Thrower" as a package deal. What are you thinking? Did you even read these books? "Clothar" is the story of the man we know as Lancelot. It is eighth in the series by Jack Whyte. "The Lance Thrower" is the **SAME BOOK**, but retitled for the American market. (With a few minor changes in the text for the U.S. market). So, my question would be: Are you merely uninformed and don't read the books you sell, or are you just trying to get more money from your customers by tricking them into buying two copies of the same book???? Hmph. In either case, shame on you.
