The Days of Miracles and Wonders: An Epic of the New World DisorderInterlink Books, 1999 - 422 pages From his tomb in Fontevraud, the Crusader King Richard the Lionheart rises to face the modern world at the brink of the West's Gulf War against Saddam Hussein of Iraq. The story weaves a tangled web of East and West, of new crusades fought on prime time television, of medieval Caliphs springing to life, of madness and sanity in the "New World Order." Tragedy, comedy and farce intermingle in a tale of ordinary and extraordinary people, as the "smart bombs" of post-modern technology rush towards their apocalyptic tryst with Baghdad, the stubborn dreamland of the Arabian Nights. |
