Robin Hood, the new Ridley Scott film starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, went straight in at number one on the British film chart last weekend.
The film is the untold story of how Robin Hood the man became the legend, chronicling his life as an expert archer who travels to Nottingham and assembles a gang who prey on the indulgent upper class to correct the injustices of the local Sheriff.
In much the same way, Angus Donald's Outlaw, published last year, tells the story of the early beginnings of Robin Hood and his band of men in Sherwood Forest. From bloody battles to riotous feast days to marauding packs of wolves, Outlaw is a gripping, action-packed historical thriller that delves deep into the fascinating legend of Robin Hood.
This July Sphere are publishing the second book in the series – Holy Warrior.
Richard the Lionheart has launched his epic crusade to seize Jerusalem from the cruel Saracens. Marching with the vast royal army is Britain’s most famous, most feared, most ferocious warrior: Robin Hood.
Blazingly paced and richly imagined, featuring a cast of unforgettable characters and packed with fast, furious action, Holy Warrior is adventure at its thrilling, white-knuckle best – don’t forget to grab a copy this Summer!
