The Bull Raid by Carlo Gebler
The proud queen of Connacht demands to own the Brown Bull of Ulster, and attacks on the first day of winter, knowing an ancient curse will cripple all the men of Ulster until the the first day of spring. Only Cuchulainn, a half-immortal, is immune and takes on the Connacht army on his own, killing hundreds of men each night until a single combat is chosen to decide the war. Facing and killing his best friend, Cuchulainn achieves his one ambition: eternal fame. But the queen of Connacht wants revenge, and her army will return to kill him...
Carlo Gebler has written countless reviews, articles and short stories for most national publications, as well as many play-scripts and even a libretto for an opera. He is an award-winning filmmaker and producer and director of TV documentaries, and teaches creative writing one day a week in a local prison. Carlo describes himself as a 'lepidopterist - a butterfly catcher who is constantly searching for that rare butterfly that is a story.' He is married with five children and lives in Enniskillen in Northern Ireland.
