Bøger i King Irv serien

King Irv, monarch of the Wholesale Kingdom is surprised one day when a troop of Vikings shows up on the doorstep of Warehouse Castle. It seems that the Norsemen had stumbled onto the wreckage of Hershel the Merlin's old time machine on some future beach and, fooling with the contraption, suddenly found themselves thrown back through time to the court of King Irv. Demonstrating to the Vikings how the contraption works, King Irv and Hershel, find themselves in the new world, the Viking's Vinland, in the twelfth century. To further complicate matters, one of the young Viking sailors trips, falls and puts the tip of his sword into Hershel's time machine, rendering it useless to bring them back home to the Wholesale Kingdom. The time machine does work, off and on, taking them to modern day San Francisco and then back to the old west of America, everywhere except back home, until a major hurricane changes everything.

King Irv, Jewish ruler of the Wholesale Kingdom, has a time travel machine invented by his clever Merlin, Hershel. The Christian kings of old England are readying crusades to retrieve something they call the Holy Grail, the cup they believed their savoir drank from at the Last Supper, from the heathens of the Middle East. At the urging of King Arthur, a Druid from the west of the British Isles, King Irv's Merlin decides he can go back in time and procure this Holy Grail thing from right under the nose of the Christian savior. Kings Irv and Arthur can then sell it to the highest bidder. Snatching the grail cup is an easy task, but proving its authenticity to the Christian kings of old blighty proves to be more of a challenge. King Irv's son-in-law in future England, around 2002, has better luck with the sacred cup, up to a point, but before all the bets are in, this sought-after Christian relic comes close to launching a holy war across both time and space.
