Assassin's Creed Book 9

Heresy

The new book set in the universe of Assassin's Creed. Reliving the memories of his ancestor who fought beside Joan of Arc, high-ranking Templar Simon Hathaway slowly uncovers secrets of the past that could dangerously impact his present . . . and that of the entire Templar order. 
 
An endless conflict. An old wrong. A new revelation. 
 
Simon Hathaway, member of the Templar Inner Sanctum, brings a cool head and detached manner to his new role as Head of Abstergo Industry's Historical Research Division. 
 
But Simon also has an insatiable curiosity, and is fascinated by the thought of experiencing history first-hand through his ancestor Gabriel Laxart, who fought alongside the legendary Joan of Arc. 
 
When he enters the newly-designed Animus for its initial project, Simon finds himself unprepared for what he discovers: how deep the conflict between the Templars and the Assassins goes, and what his ancestor is willing to do for the woman he loves. And as he slowly uncovers secrets of the past, Simon is confronted with the most dangerous truth of all: 
 
Who is the heretic . . . and who is the true believer?

Award-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.

Assassin's Creed: The Official Film Tie-In

*** THE OFFICIAL NOVELIZATION AND TIE-IN TO THE UK'S NO 1 MOVIE *** 
 
Go beyond the film in the novelization of the first Assassin's Creed movie, starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. 
 
We work in the dark to serve the light. We are assassins. 
 
Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.

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 turn

A film that blends a cool sci-fi concept (technology that allows users to relive their ancestor's memories) with historical adventure

Start getting your hopes up. The trailer is simply gorgeous

This 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 Inquisition

I 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 recreated

Justin Kurzel, director of Assassin's Creed

The 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'

The official film tie-in for the Assassin's Creed motion picture starring Michael Fassbender.

Star Wars: Dark Disciple

A tale of trust, betrayal, love and evil starring the hugely popular ex-Sith-Jedi female bounty hunter. Asajj Ventress.

A very creditable adaptation from the well-selected for the task Miss Golden, further developing Ventress and her complex relationship with Vos, whose dark romance is a strong showcase for the author's talents but those of the series original writers (Katle Lucas, Matt Michnovetz and Dave Filoni ). With the success and overall acclaim for this novel endeavour, let's hope that we get more adaptations of unseen episodes of THE CLONE WARS Seasons Sevens and Eight for the future. We deserve them. 4 out of 5.

This is a really good book, a definite page turner. A must read for any Star Wars fan – plenty of fun cameos and expansion of the universe. For those who have only seen the films this is an interesting look at how far can the good guys go to defeat the bad guys.I think this would be a good reading group book because of the many themes this novel touches upon.

A must read if you play the Battlefront games

The perfect lead-in to the Battlefront II video game

As a primer for Battlefront 2 it’s nigh on essential

Set in the aftermath of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, this action-packed prequel to the hotly anticipated videogame Battlefront II introduces the Empire’s elite force: Inferno Squad. 
 
After the humiliating theft of the Death Star plans and the destruction of the battle station, the Empire is on the defensive. But not for long. In retaliation, the elite Imperial soldiers of Inferno Squad have been called in for the crucial mission of infiltrating and eliminating the Partisans—the rebel faction once led by notorious Republic freedom fighter Saw Gerrera. 
 
Following the death of their leader, the Partisans have carried on his extremist legacy, determined to thwart the Empire—no matter the cost. Now Inferno Squad must prove its status as the best of the best and take down the Partisans from within. But the growing threat of being discovered in their enemy’s midst turns an already dangerous operation into a do-or-die acid test they dare not fail. To protect and preserve the Empire, to what lengths will Inferno Squad go . . . and how far beyond them? 
 
The Rebellion may have heroes like Jyn Erso and Luke Skywalker. But the Empire has Inferno Squad.
