From Publishers Weekly
A historical romance translated to an SF milieu, Kennealy's Keltiad series dwells less on computers and cosmology than on magic, Celtic myths and traditions, swordplay, Druids, bards, Amazons and complicated dynastic relations. Indeed, the three-page roll call identifying the charcters must be consulted frequently. As this sequel to The Copper Crown opens, Aeron Aoibhell, the fiery queen and high priestess of Keltia, has barely escaped the defeat of her realm by Jaun Akhera, Emperor of the Cabiri. To regain freedom and throne, she goes in quest of the ancient spaceship of King Arthur and its legendary magical weapons, the Thirteen Treasures. By story's end, her Fomori allies and her own sorcerous powers have conquered Jaun and she has become Empress of a peaceful new Imperium. The next volume in Kennealy's vigorous, colorful but convoluted Celtic pastiche will be a prequel to The Copper Crown.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Throne of Scone (Keltiad) (Paperback)
I just loved this book ... and all the books in The Keltiad series. PKM is a very talented writer - this story is just so creative, the description of Keltia and all the worlds is so clear, and the characters are so well defined you feel you almost know them. The storyline is quite complex yet so effortlessly comes together and I loved the rituals and blend of magic/futuristic elements giving a fantastic story and ending. This story can appeal not just to sci-fi readers - anyone who loves a great adventure story would love it. Please PKM ... continue writing more books in the series. It's just great.
