A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Young writes with remarkable accuracy, action-packed efficiency and gut-wrenching violence (The Times)

Satisfyingly complex (Sunday Telegraph)

Compared to Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt, REQUIEM is 'More rollicking, even more fast moving and breathless...so pacy' (Heat's Boyd Hilton, speaking on Radio 5 Live Books Panel)

Fantastic baddies! (Independent on Sunday's Suzi Feay, speaking on Radio 5 Live Books Panel)

An outstanding contemporary writer (Kate Mosse)

El Cid meets The Da Vinci Code! Exciting, page-turning fiction (Simon Mayo's book panel, BBC Radio Five Live on BRETHREN)

A sweeping historical adventure as well as a cracking sequel (Financial Times on CRUSADE)

If you love the Templars, the Crusades, and the Middle Ages, this is the book for you. Robyn Young is an exciting new voice (Sharon Penman on BRETHREN)

One of the best historical debuts in recent memory. Exciting and enthralling, it gripped me from the first page and left me waiting anxiously for the next instalment (John Connolly on BRETHREN)

Swords clash in the first sentence of Young's latest and go on clashing throughout...plenty of action...attention to historical detail...pacy dialogue (The Times on CRUSADE)

Biographie de l'auteur :

Robyn Young was born in Oxford and grew up in the Midlands and Devon. She has a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex and lives and writes in Brighton full-time. Her first novel, BRETHREN, was the bestselling hardback debut novel of 2006, with the paperback also going straight into the top ten bestseller list. Two more bestsellers followed, CRUSADE and REQUIEM, completing the Brethren trilogy, which has now sold over a million copies and been translated into nineteen languages.

The inspiration for Robyn's new trilogy, which began with INSURRECTION and continues in RENEGADE, grew out of an earlier research trip to Scotland. Robyn explains: 'Day by day, out of the pages of history and the wild landscape, one figure came striding, larger, clearer than all the others - Robert the Bruce. He swept me off my feet and carried me into a story of bitter family feuds, two civil wars and the struggle for the crown. I realised there was no way this character could play a cameo role in another man's story. His tale was too powerful, too intricate and too good to be cut down and boxed to fit.'
