About the author

Anton Gill (aka Oliver Bowden) has been a full-time professional writer since 1984, and in the course of the last 27 years he has published 35 books. Gill was born in Ilford, Essex, the son of a German father and an English mother, and grew up in London. He is an acclaimed novelist and Renaissance historian currently living in Paris, France. Bowden has written novelizations of several of the Assassin's Creed console games.

Oliver Bowden is a pen-name (a pseudonym adopted by the author) in order to hide his true identity. However, his profession and location are accurate.

According to Bowden's interview with UbiWorkshop, he is an avid gamer and gains much of his inspiration for character development throughout the writing process from playing the Assassin's Creed series.

Gill ceased being Oliver Bowden some years back and the author Andrew Holmes (Sleb, 64 Clarke) has published the last six titles of the Assassin's Creed series (The Secret Crusade, Forsaken, Black Flag, Unity, Underworld, and Desert Oath) using this pen-name.

Het boek "Assassin's Creed" van Oliver Bowden is een meeslepend avontuur dat gebaseerd is op de populaire videogame-serie met dezelfde naam. Het verhaal draait om de huurmoordenaar Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, die in het jaar 1191 in het Midden-Oosten op zoek gaat naar een krachtig artefact genaamd de "Piece of Eden". Het boek zit boordevol actie, spanning en intrige, en neemt de lezer mee op een onvergetelijke reis door de geschiedenis.

Bowden's schrijfstijl is levendig en meeslepend, en hij weet de lezer moeiteloos te betrekken bij het verhaal en de personages. Zijn beschrijvingen van de middeleeuwse wereld zijn gedetailleerd en nauwkeurig, waardoor de lezer het gevoel krijgt alsof ze echt in die tijd en plaats zijn.

Een ander pluspunt van het boek is de manier waarop het de complexe mythologie van de videogame-serie weet te integreren in het verhaal. Hoewel de wereld van "Assassin's Creed" soms ingewikkeld kan zijn, slaagt Bowden erin om het begrijpelijk en toegankelijk te maken voor lezers die niet bekend zijn met de serie.

Al met al is "Assassin's Creed" van Oliver Bowden een geweldige aanvulling op de videogame-serie en een must-read voor fans van avontuurlijke verhalen, geschiedenis en fantasy. Zijn schrijfstijl en het verhaal zijn overtuigend en meeslepend, waardoor lezers zullen genieten van de reis door de middeleeuwse wereld van de Assassijnen
