roachtv 's review for:
Black Flag
by Oliver Bowden
Loved it. Honestly, it was better than the game. All the books are. Oliver Bowden converts the admittedly enjoyable yet occasionally dull or repetitive games into a truly fantastic story. While some people love Assassin's Creed for the gameplay and stunning visuals and mechanics, I personally love it for the story it tells. In fact, I would be fine if there were no games and it was just the book series only.
Black Flag tells the story of Edward Kenway, a brash, arrogant merchant's son from Bristol with a taste for women and beer. His pugilistic tendencies have led him to many a tavern brawl, but he soon gets on the wrong side of a very powerful organization: the Templars. The night before he departs to become a privateer in the West Indies, the Templars launch an attack on his home, burning it to the ground and leaving his family in ruins. Little does he know that their control reaches across oceans, and he is pulled into the age-old battle between the Templars and an even more mysterious group known only as the Assassins. Along his journey full of twists and turns he meets famous pirates such as Calico Jack, Mary Read, and even Blackbeard.
