Product Description

Review

'Glenda Larke writes stories of real consequence, and this is no exception. Powerful, down to earth and filled with the sharpness of the true storyteller, Mirage Makers is entertainment with an edge. Count me as a true fan.' Russell Kirkpatrick, author of the Fire of Heaven trilogy


Product Description

A new reign of terror has brought fear and hatred to the land, while an ancient legend stirs in the heart of the wildwood The Norman conquest of England is complete - but for one young man the battle has only just begun. When Bran ap Brychan's father is murdered by Norman soldiers, he flees to London, seeking justice. The journey is long and hard - and the suffering of those he meets along the way fuels his anger. With his demands dismissed, Bran has no choice but to return home, but a worse fate still awaits him there. His lands have been confiscated and his people subjugated by a brutal and corrupt regime. Should Bran flee for his life or protect his people by surrendering to his father's murderers? The answer, perhaps, is known only to the Raven King - a creature of myth and magic born of the darkest shadows in the forest. Stephen R. Lawhead's Hood brings to life the legend of Robin Hood as never before.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hooded Man Returns, 9 Jun 2006
By M. R. Houlton-hart (Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hood (King Raven Trilogy) (Hardcover)
The master of historical fantasy returns with his gripping re-telling of the Robin Hood Legend in this first book of, the King Raven Trilogy.

The Story starts off at a lightning pace and action and adventure ensue all the way through. Along the way you meet the new interpretations of Little John, Tuck etc and some brand new characters each of who brings added depth to this medieval tapestry. Alongside the action scenes, of which there are plenty, there are some touching scenes as the hero, Bran bonds with his followers and thus a new Legend is born.

Setting the story in Wales and starting it with a fresh new angle was a stroke of genius as it adds a new exciting dimension to an old story. Through the mysterious Welsh Forests to the politics of the Medieval Court, Stephen Lawhead brings alive 11th Century Wales to a modern audience and this is one book that any fans of historical fiction and fantasy will not want to miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOOD Will Capture Your Imagination!, 13 Oct 2006
By Kimberly Gelderman (Spring Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hood (King Raven Trilogy) (Hardcover)
Stephen Lawhead's medieval novels never disappoint and this one is no exception! It is the first of a trilogy about Robin Hood and why & where the legend may have originally came from.

Bran of Elfael, the heir to this Welsh throne, becomes Hood in this story when his father, the king, is brutally murdered by Normans in William Rufus' England. The story progresses with many of the emerging characters associated with Hood coming onto the scene, albeit with their original names and how they became Friar Tuck, Little John, and Merian among others.

It is a tale that will keep you riveted to each page until it is, sadly, finished! I am eagerly anticipating the second book in this trilogy. Thank you for a great read Mr. Lawhead, keep them coming!

4.0 out of 5 stars The first Book in the King Raven Trilogy, 11 Dec 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

Stephen R. Lawhead is an internationally acclaimed author of mythic history and imaginative fiction. His works include Byzantium and the series The Pendragon Cycle, The Celtic Crusades, and The Song of Albion. Lawhead makes his home in Austria with his wife. Stephen Lawhead is one of my all time favourite authors and I am only sorry that he does not write more often.

Stephen Lawhead has always been the master of a good historical story. His tales, whether they be original, like the Song of Albion series, or in the case of the Pendragon series a new look at an old story, are always full of life and adventure and he always manages to produce some of the best fantasy fiction around. This book the first in the King Raven Trilogy will not disappoint his legions of readers.

Once again Lawhead puts his own slant to an old story. No less a legend than that of Robin Hood. In the story, aptly named Hood, our hapless hero, Bran, heir to the Welsh throne becomes an outlaw after his father, the king is brutally murdered by the Normans.

You will either love or hate this book. I enjoyed it a lot, but if you are a lover of the traditional Robin Hood legend, this story is far removed from the original and may be just a step to far for some traditionalists.
