على ما اعتقد القصة غنية عن التعريف للي لعب assassins creed 1
بس للي ما يعرفهاش سريعًا كده الرواية بتتكلم عن جماعة الأساسنز و صراعهم الأزلي مع فرسان المعبد او the knight templars
التمبلزر بيسعوا للحصول على قطع اثرية تسمى قطع عدن لها القدرة على السيطرة على الإرادة و سلب حرية الشخص
تتبع القصة احداث حياة الأساسن " الطائر بن لا احد" الناشط في فترة الحملات الصليبية في الشام الذي مر على حياته صراع خاضه في سبيل احدى تلك القطع الأثرية

يعطي معلم الجماعة مهمة محددة للطائر لأسترجاع اثر من مقبرة سليمان في القدس لكن اثناء تلك المهمة يخالف الطائر الثلاث قواعد الرئيسية للجماعة و هي
1- اختبيء بين الزحام
2- أتق دم البريء
3- لا تعرض الجماعة للخطر
لكن الطائر يخرق كل هذا و تفشل المهمة .. فيعود للمعلم الذي يتنزع منه كل رتبه و اسلحته و يعيده لرتبة مبتدئ
و لكي يسترجع رتبه عليه القيام ب 9 اغتيالات مختلفة بين القدس و سوريا والأردن
و في كل مرة يغتال فيها احد من مهامه يجد اسرار تقوده للتساؤلات عن حياته و عن اعتقاداته

This was a surprisingly decent read! I have never read a book based off a video game before, but if one were to hold my interest, it would be my beloved Assassin’s s Creed universe. Bowden Beautifully captures the essence of the master assassin Altair. The fighting is descriptive, the characters are vivid, and I feel like I was transported into the video game. I also have to give credit to the author who actually quoted all that could be quoted from the video game. It was a wonderful way to flesh out a story that I love.

I really enjoyed this book.

It is about Altair's story told by Niccolo who finally tells the this Assassins tale. Every thing that Altair did and his adventures as an Assassin.

It was an interesting story. I like Altair. I like the games from Ubisoft so I was really looking forward to this book. It was really good because i am not so good at the games so being able to read how the assassins can sneak and do all the things that assassins do.

I enjoyed the story and how it went back and forth between Altair and what is going on with him and Niccolo telling the story to other assassins. It was a great way to tell the story of one of my favorite assassins.

I really liked Oliver Bowden's writing it kept me wanting to read more and enjoyed the book.
