This book is like a medieval war in modern times.  A group of very rich men have decided that the world, as we know it, will implode leaving everyone penniless and starving.  In their infinite wisdom, they have decided to speed this little disaster along, setting themselves up as the powerful to put the world back together.Peter Gagne, wealthy from oil, decides to have a mock war using only tools from medieval times.  Peter takes all modern conveniences from a castle he owns on an island.  From there the game will be played.  He enlists the help of his ex-girlfriend, Tess, who also happens to be a medieval war expert.  Peter invites all of his rich friends, which plays into the plans of the evil rich men.  The game turns into reality.While this is not the type of book I would normally read, I enjoyed it immensely.  The fight scenes were so vivid I actually could see it all happening in front of me.  A bit disconcerting but great writing.The characters are believable in a somewhat unbelievable storyline.  It is really good writing that can pull this off.This book is a great action adventure story with mystery, subterfuge, betrayal, battle strategies and more.  It has much to say on many different levels from oil dependence and the economy to friendship and love.A great read!
