Arthur, Merlyn and the Bat Scientists at the Round Table

Diana Lynn Denner, The New School for Social Research '93

In Arthur, Merlyn and the Bat Scientists at the Round Table, the legends of Camelot get a modern twist. King Arthur and his knights are reimagined as a quirky team of researchers battling ignorance instead of invaders. At the center is a time-bending collaboration between the wise wizard Merlyn and a group of eccentric bat scientists who have arrived from the future - bringing sonar tech, evolutionary theory, and the mission of saving their misunderstood species.

When strange happenings disturb the natural balance of the kingdom - plagues of insects, crop failures, forest disappearances - Arthur must look beyond swords and shields. Together with Merlyn, a skeptical Sir Lancelot, and the enthusiastic scientists, the Round Table tackles ecological crises with data, myth busting, and midnight bat-counting missions.

This is a fast-paced genre-bending tale that mixes Arthurian lore, science education, and deadpan humor, ideal for readers who like their fantasy grounded in facts - and their facts with a touch of magic.
