Successful writer Peter Felix is still, years later, dealing with the fallout from the disastrous reception of his novel Dark Conquest when he gets a call from iconic British screen idol Guy Larymer. This fast-paced novel plots the course of the two men as they struggle with unreliable financial backers, over-emotional actors and their own volatile personal lives in their fight to bring their blockbuster of the Norman Conquest to the big screen and revive their stalling careers. The fights; the intrigues; the gory glory of one of history’s greatest events, the Battle of Hastings, is paralleled in this hilarious account of the making of the movie. A must for film-buffs, this poignant story will touch anyone who is stirred by history and gripped by the bitter-sweet follies of life.
