Product Description

Review

Angus Donald leads you into the familiar forests of Medieval England...and then all hell breaks loose! Far from the figure of popular legend, Donald's Robin Hood is a brutal, cunning warlord who will let nothing stand in his way. A fresh, lively and welcome take on one of the world's most famous outlaws. And yet, it stirred in me a nostalgia for all the great stories of my childhood; those that thrilled me, inspired me and shaped who I am today. Complex heroes, craven villains, brutal fights...King's Man is a boy's own romp that flies like an arrow from a yew bow (Giles Kristian )

Excellent, well researched and full of detail. Started it a few weeks ago, and have been gripped by it since. Quite simply, it's a great read. (Ben Kane )

Twists, turns, blood and death, ambush and escape is all revealed against a meticulously-researched backdrop. A stunning portrayal of the dark side of the Robin Hood legend, THIS is the outlaw Russell Crowe should have played. (Robert Low )

A glorious, gritty, violent, fast-moving recreation of an English legend (The Times )

Book Description

From the internationally bestselling author of Outlaw and Holy Warrior comes the most exciting historical novel of the year

4.0 out of 5 stars What's the price for a song 7 Sep 2011

By james eves

Format:Hardcover

It has taken me a while to get to King's Man but the wait was well worth waiting for. This is the third book in Angus Donald The Outlaw Chronicles as told by Alan Dale about the Outlaw Robin Hood. Alan is still trouble with his relationship with Robin,but it's his love life that is giving him more grief as an old flame from the past makes a unwelcome return. Once again Alan Donald has us in the thick of the action,as his in-depth research and passion for the period had me page turning late into the night. I am glad to hear that a fourth outing of Robin and Alan is on the way and I for one cannot wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passion, Slaughter & Large Feast Days = Angus has done it again! 24 July 2011

By Sprackles

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

With the third book in his Outlaw Chronicles, Angus Donald slings you onto horseback and sends you galloping into his medieval world using his strong narrative voice, Alan Dale, to guide you through a land of injustice, large feasts, excessive drinking, passionate sex, gory battles fought by real heroes and, of course, blood-thirsty outlaws.

I finished this in a matter of days; it really is one of those books. Angus proves his ingenious version of the infamous Robin Hood legend is not for the faint-hearted. His Robin Hood really is a ruthless, cold-hearted bastard who will stop at nothing for his King, and you really shouldn't like him. But his loyalty and love for everyone inside his circle leaves you rooting for him and his minions from the very beginning. So Angus made the right decision in telling the story through the superb viewpoint of one of Robin's most loyal companions, Alan Dale, which allows you to get up close and personal to all the cunning schemes and blood-soaked battles!
The book packs a heavy punch - with superbly constructed plot twists, excellent battle scenes (probably the author's strongest talent) and juicy violent dialogue that is much more believable than softer takes on the legend.

I look forward to the next in the Chronicles and recommend this to everyone interested either in the Robin Hood legend or historical fiction in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just as good as the first two episodes 4 Sep 2011

By JPS TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This one was just as good as the first two in the series. Robin Hood comes out as a rather more convincing character than anywhere else and King Richard's mixture of military talent, genuine warmth and charisma to his followers and utter arrogance towards others appear rather realistic (at least to me!). The state of quasi-civil war between Richard and his brother John is also very realistic, especially when you remember that all of Queen Elenor's sons has spent much of their youth fighting their father (with their mother's support). An implication is that John, while not having the same talents as his brother, was probably not the coward scheming "worm" that is made out to be, neither was Richard a parangon of nobility. In addition to his massacre of some 3000 prisonners in Acre (which deprived his troops of an y ransom money), his hauntiness and arrogance explain his capture by the Duke of Austria and his ransom
ruined the Kingdom of England, leaving without the financial resources to fight off King Philippe's attacks against his French provinces. But this will be part of the next volume, I guess...

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent return to Sherwood 22 July 2011

By N. Brett TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

The third volume in Angus Donald's excellent "Outlaw Chronicles" series. The series tells the tale of Robin Hood but from the perspective of Alan-a-Dale, with Robin Hood an important but often absent character. Robin Hood is portrayed as a bit like the Godfather of Sherwood, not to be crossed but very loyal to those who are part of his inner circle. Donald's Robin is ruthless, cunning and dangerous. Alan Dale is passionate but makes human mistakes and has emotions he sometimes wears on his sleeve. The book makes him a very real character and it is he who narrates the story from his perspective.

Set about 1192, Richard the Lionhheart has been captured on his way back from the Crusades and while his supporters try to raise the ransom, his brother John seeks to consolidate his position of power. Robin and Alan become heavily involved in the process of raising funds, and Robin has been forced to resort to his old outlaw lifestyle.

For fans of historical action and adventure this is an ideal series, told with both charm and wit and featuring strong characterisation, pace and plenty of action. This is not the book to start with, although those who are fans already will be delighted with it - new readers will be rewarded by starting with the first book "Outlaw".

A really enjoyable episode in the series and I am delighted to see it looks like Mr Donald is planning some more adventures for us...

5.0 out of 5 stars great story 1 Nov 2011

By Darius

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This one's just as good if not better than the previous two. I think Robin Hood is present just to put a famous name in to attract readers. I say to fellow historical fiction lovers, there is no real need for Robin Hood. The main character Alan Dale through whom the story is told has developed into such a likeable and strong character that Robin Hood has been left in the shadow. The Royal characters are all portrayed extremely well by the author and all in all if you are looking for a fast, gripping, action-packed story with as much historical background as is feasibly possible, the King's Man is a fantastic choice. I do hope we get more of Alan Dale. Well done Mr Arnold !
