I lovedthis book. I wish I'd written it. Ben Kane An 11th-century epic with action to equal the best of Bernard Cornwell. THISis writing. Anthony Riches Only once in a generation does a first novel emerge which has such power and depth and scope. WithHawk Quest, Robert Lyndon has shown himself a master storyteller of the highest quality. An absorbing, viscerally moving epic that takes the standard historical fare of love, treachery, passion, and redemption and lifts them into a new stratosphere. I got lost in this for days on end, and never wanted to emerge. Outstanding! M.C. Scott [Hawk Quest] is replete with historically accurate details of medieval warfare... Lyndon is a debut author worth watching. Library Journal (starred review) [An] utterly engrossing historical adventure... For readers who relish high-concept adventure well grounded in historical detail, this remarkably well-orchestrated epic delivers the goods.
