Synopsis

Edward Kenway sets out to become a pirate and finds himself drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars in this novel based on the Assassin's Creed™ video game series.

"I was spellbound by the hooded man at work. Mesmerized by this agent of death, who had ignored the carnage around him by biding his time and waiting to strike."
 
It is the golden age of piracy and the New World beckons. Edward Kenway—the brash young son of a wool merchant—dreams of gold and cannot resist the lure of a life of glory on the high seas.
 
When his family homestead is attacked, there seems like no better time to escape, and Kenway soon establishes himself as one of the deadliest privateers of his day.
 
But greed, ambition, and betrayal follow closely in his wake. And when evidence of a crippling conspiracy begins to surface, threatening to destroy everything that he holds dear, Kenway can't resist the urge for retribution.

An original novel based on the multiplatinum video game from Ubisoft.Contains mature themes.

Io ero in mezzo a loro come sempre, sc......more

Goodreads review by Monique on February 01, 2014

When it comes to books that are based on video games, I am reluctant and overly cautious. Let’s face it, Paul W.S. Anderson didn’t exactly stick to the game’s plot with the Resident Evil franchise, but at least it’s better than Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which failed miserably in my opinio......more

Goodreads review by Robert on January 21, 2014

The book was a serviceable adventure but it left a lot to be desired. In many places the judicial application of dilligent editing was required but failed to appear. Sentences--nearly identical ones--appeared just a paragraph or two below their doppelgangers. Also, the latter portion of the story sk......more
