Barak's world is a harsh world. Barak is a giant of a man, he is a slayer who metes out harsh justice and does not suffer fools gladly. Although a king in his own right it suits him to be in the employ of Rome carrying out their wishes.
Returning to Britain from one of his ventures for Rome he finds that Black Guards from his own country of Krozakistan have poisoned the son of his friend King Aulric and kidnapped his daughter. Barak vows to find and return Aulric's daughter and then return to his home country to obtain the antidote to the poison and so save King Aulric's son.
He enlists the help of many warrior friends of old. They have to prove themselves in bloody battles against many foes, both human and animal before they can reach his homeland. How will King Barak be welcomed in his homeland? Will he be successful in his double quest? There will be many battles to fight, many terrors to face before Barak can rest.
Imagine yourself sitting around a campfire on a warm summer's night and listening to this tale, told by a man with a Geordie accent. A tale of secrets, loyalty, and a battle for friendship and peace. This book is written in an honest tongue and will transport you to a time and land when men were men and had to fight for their dreams. Loved the way this was written as if the tale was being related by one of the many colourful characters.
What a great read. I loved the characters and the way the author writes about them ensures you know them well. Barak is so well written that you love him despite the fact he is a heavy drinking, weed smoking killer. The book tells a story of a long journey with a purpose, and on that journey unravels each character. In places it's sad and in truth I cried. There's plenty of humour and also many great tense scenes.
Not an easy read for a child, however, when it gets made into a film and I believe it will, it will be a box office sensation.
I can't wait to read his next book.
Exceptionally clever. A must read. 10/10
Great story, great value, great hero. Every now and then something unique comes along in the literary world and here we have it again. Join Barak and his companions on their quest save a prince, rescue a princess and recover a kingdom. Then battle with pirates and all manner of men and creatures. Listen to their stories and share their heartaches as the make an epic journey across the world. Enjoy the wonderfully descriptive language, the sausages, the roast chickens and the salmon. In this story you will live it, see it and taste it. A must read.
What a book. A fantastic tale for all Sword and Sorcery lovers. Found it a little hard to get into but well worth the perseverance. It got that I couldn't put it down. I loved the way the author wrote as if he were sitting beside you telling a tale. I can't wait for the second book to come out to see what Barak gets up to this time and what quest he will have to fulfill.
