Description
In this novel based on the Assassin's Creed™ video game series, Niccolò Polo, father of Marco, will finally reveal the story he has kept secret all his life—the story of Altaïr, one of the Brotherhood’s most extraordinary Assassins.
Altaïr embarks on a formidable mission—one that takes him throughout the Holy Land and shows him the true meaning of the Assassin’s Creed. To demonstrate his commitment, Altaïr must defeat nine deadly enemies, including Templar leader Robert de Sable.
Altaïr’s life story is told here for the first time: a journey that will change the course of history; his ongoing battle with the Templar conspiracy; a family life that is as tragic as it is shocking; and the ultimate betrayal of an old friend.
An Original Novel Based on the Multiplatinum Video Game from Ubisoft

5By Enra_86A great book. it tells the story of Altair in great detail this book is a must read if you are a fan of the Assassin's Creed seriesA.C. The Secret Crusade
5By Starkiller101I have been an Assassin's creed fan for a long time and I personally believe that this is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. It reminded me of when I first entered the great Assassin's Creed universe and everything that I have learned about it since. So If the author of this book is reading this(and the illustrator because I loved the cover art) I would like to thank him for his great edition to the A.C. World. May safety and peace be upon you, brother.Young erazo?

5By Giby07I've read a lot of booksmehh
3By acchicki downloaded this book last night, and while i'm only about a quarter of the way through, i've noticed some things: very small things from the game have been cut (e.g. the traitor who helped the Templars into Masyaf at the very beginning of the game) and there are very obvious and disturbing grammatical/spelling errors. i don't know if those errors are in the printed version, but they are definitely in the ebook (e.g. somewhere in the first few chapters, "Templar" is spelled "Teimplar"). this is the first Assassin's Creed book i've read so far, but i've played through all of the games multiple times, so i know the story quite well. Bowden's writing style is somewhat weak in my opinion however. something about it doesn't click with me. while it's not the greatest work of literature known to man, it's definitely worth checking out for any hardcore fans of the series.
