Assassin's Creed : (FTI) [Paperback] Christie Golden

This is a phenomenally popular franchise: the novels have sold over 700,000 TCM in the UK aloneThis isn't an adaption of a game or a previous book. It features brand-new characters created for the film, yet set within the gaming universeThe film trailer has over 27 million views on YouTube, and a £120 million pound marketing campaign begins late OctoberA truly all-star cast: Oscar-nominated Michael Fassbender and Oscar-winning Marion Cotillard, alongside Justin Kurzel, director of last year's critically-acclaimed Shakespeare adaptation MacbethThe film has as many genuine action sequences as possible - British stunt man Damien Walters did an actual wire-free Eagle dive from 125ftAward-winning and eight-time New York Times bestselling author Christie Golden has written nearly fifty novels and several short stories in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and horror. Among her many projects are over a dozen Star Trek novels, World of Warcraft and StarCraft novels, three books in the nine-book Star Wars series, Fate of the Jedi, and the novelization of Star Wars: The Clone Wars unaired episodes.This isn't Star Wars, there isn't a dark side and light side. It's a grey world where both sides have to bend their beliefs at certain times. Templars can become good and Assassin's can turnA film that blends a cool sci-fi concept (technology that allows users to relive their ancestor's memories) with historical adventureStart getting your hopes up. The trailer is simply gorgeousThis is definitely Assassin's Creed with all the fast paced free-running and close combat you'd want. It might be a time period we've never seen in the games but plenty of 360 viewpoints, eagles and free running action to make us feel at home in the Spanish InquisitionI wanted it to be an unbelievable ride. Our story is an origin story, a man in the present day discovering he's an Assassin. It's a very rich world, the history beautifully recreatedThe video game movie that might just induce glorious amnesia for those struggling to wipe clean memories of 'Prince of Persia', 'Hitman' or 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'
