I got this fair-condition softcover at a Savers thrift shop. Published posthumously, it's White's conclusion to The Once and Future King.
The concept was interesting - and rather heart-breaking - but I found that I couldn't get caught up in the narrative. The mix of philosophical-treatise-on-war and the wrapups of the lives of the characters didn't gel for me, though I did appreciate the way each character experienced the weight of previous events. And Trevor Stubley's illustrations were quite atmospheric.
