The Hounds of Avalon (Dark Age, Book 3) - Softcover
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 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...

From Publishers Weekly:
Chadbourn closes his second trilogy of a Britain changed by the return of magic (after 2010's The Queen of Sinister) with battles against an army of undead and a hidden quest for a sleeping king. Amid a cheerful jumble of myths and conspiracy theories, Chadbourn's five chosen heroes race ahead of Fimbulwinter, the Norse apocalyptic deep freeze, to recover sacred artifacts and recruit Celtic gods. Not helping are the remnants of the U.K. government, holed up in Oxford and plotting nuclear strikes on mythic figures. Chadbourn nicely portrays the struggles of people given an opportunity for greatness for reasons outside of their control, but the abrupt ending to their story does little to improve this conglomeration of mysticism and quantum physics wrapped in a fluffy New Age coating.
