Goodreads review by Liviu on February 13, 2012

I went fast through it as it was very disappointing; starts well - the first few pages promise so much - but then it loses any personality and it becomes a stock adventure; not unlike Ben Kane's novels so if you like those, you may like this but I find them boring and bland.

Quotes

"Quite simply, Hawk Quest is the best book I've read this year. I lovedthis book. I wish I'd written it."—Ben Kane

"An 11th-century epic with action to equal the best of Bernard Cornwell. THISis writing."—Anthony Riches

"Only once in a generation does a first novel emerge which has such power and depth and scope. With Hawk Quest, Robert Lyndon has shown himself a master storyteller of the highest quality. An absorbing, viscerally moving epic that takes the standard historical fare of love, treachery, passion, and redemption and lifts them into a new stratosphere. I got lost in this for days on end, and never wanted to emerge. Outstanding!"—M.C. Scott
