"You must have bailed out just in time. You say your name is King. You got a first name?"
"Men call me Arthur"
"I'll bet your friends at school kidded the pants off you," the airman said,laughing. "Arthur King. Where's Merlin?"
"Have you seen him?" Arthur asked hopefully.
"Right. At least you still got a sense of humor after losing your Spitfire. Now let's see if we can hitch a ride back to the air base."

"Arthur King is an intriguing blend of history, fantasy, and intrigue, a clever intermingling of two of Britain's darkest - and finest - hours. It ties the recent and distant past together in fascination ways - and in exciting knots." Harry Turtledove
