Frith and Alura are brother and sister who discovered Sir Lancelot living as a hermit in Lancelot’s Grail. Together they uncovered his knowledge of the Holy Grail, and trained as his disciples. Now their story continues in this compelling sequel.

When Lancelot’s spiritual mantel consecrates Alura, Frith is left wondering why the same didn’t happen to him. As she becomes established in her seat of Self, Frith resigns himself to remain at the abbey and watch over his sister.

Then, Jacob, a Jewish merchant sent by their father, comes to take Frith on a journey along the ancient Silk Road. A reluctant Frith leaves the Christian abbey he has always called home to sail with Jacob to the Mediterranean city of Tyre.

With four knights for protection, the men caravan to Samarkand, the Central Asian capitol of the silk trade. There they meet the Sultan, a wealthy collector of Oriental holy men.

Frith is invited to study at the Sultan’s newly formed mystery school, where he is tutored by a Taoist, a Buddhist, and a Hindu Swami. Overwhelmed by metaphysical experiences he receives from them, Frith becomes nearly catatonic during the journey home, causing Jacob to consider revealing hidden Jewish mysticism to set Frith right.

Once back in Britain, Frith must sort out his confusion, attain the Holy Grail, and reconnect with his saintly sister waiting at the abbey.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Richard Gartee is a poet, author and award winning novelist. His poems have been published in literary magazines, chap books and six collections of his poetry. He is a full-time author and has written seven novels, a biography, the definitive history of the Hippodrome Theatre, and seven college textbooks (with multiple editions.)

His first novel Lancelot's Grail explores self-awareness and enlightenment in an Arthurian-age story of two siblings' journey to enlightenment after they discover Sir Lancelot living as a hermit and uncover his knowledge of the Holy Grail. A second novel, Lancelot's Disciple, pursues the quest for enlightenment along the Silk Road.

His Ragtime Dudes series span the humorous adventures of three New York dandies from the 1904 World's Fair, to the nascent art colony of Taos, New Mexico, and the Roaring Twenties. Two books in the series won top Royal Palm Literary Awards for fiction humor.

Turning to the climate crisis, he looks at it from the perspective of 5500 years ago in Atlantis Dying, then from that of the present day with Atlantis Obsession, set in the present day.

Richard is a member of Writers Alliance of Gainesville, Florida Writers Association, and Florida Literary Arts Coalition.

He says:

"I started out in creative writing, but then spent 20 years in the design, development, and implementation of the preeminent medical practice management and electronic health records systems. During that period of my life I wrote a college textbook which became a national bestseller in its field. I left the software company, wrote more textbooks, and became a fulltime author. Between textbooks I turned my attention back to my creative writing origins. I began working on stage plays and then on Lancelot's Grail. I have since published six more novels and five new collections of poetry, I continue to write every day."

I consider this a spiritual adventure book. It is very entertaining. I sense that it is a men's book as most of the characters are men. It was enjoyable to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure story provides depth of spiritual understanding
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2018
This book explores the signposts and pitfalls of a spiritual quest embedded in a very readable novel full of adventure. It is written in a style that makes it accessible to a wide range of readers in terms of age and background. It highlights how the inner teachings of several different religious traditions can mesh and provide the know-how to help in spiritual advancement.

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018
Lancelot's Disciple takes the reader on two simultaneous trips. One is a spiritual journey in search of the Holy Grail in the mid-sixth century. Geographically, the knights travel by horseback and boat from Britain to Italia and Tyre, Syria. By camel caravan, and with the help of Bedouins, they cross the Euphrates River into what is now Iran, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan following the ancient Silk Road, selling their wares and returning to Britain with the finest silk. Young seeker Frith's path to enlightenment takes some unexpected turns. Beautifully told. I look forward to reading other books by Richard Gartee.
