Master of Shadows by Neil Oliver
From the lawless borderlands of Scotland to the crumbling majesty of Constantinople, the first novel from TV historian Neil Oliver is a sweeping, epic adventure and the story of a man all but forgotten by history.A rip-roaring story . . . a full-blown, swaggering epic with a hint of magical realism and a plot with plenty of twists and intrigue * DAILY MAIL *
'Ambition on an historic scale' * HERALD *
A colourful, highly enjoyable tale of very different lives united by the unanticipated twists and turns of fate * BBC HISTORY *
A rich narrative and scintillating storyline inspired by real historical characters * SCOTTISH FIELD *
This is an impressive debut novel... I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys Fiction and History genres * THE QUIET KNITTER *
Neil Oliver is a Scottish archaeologist, historian, broadcaster and writer who has become widely known as the presenter of BBC's flagship series A History of Scotland.
Before that, his distinctive style was much in evidence as the charismatic presenter of the award-winning multi-part documentary series Coast and the author of its tie-in book.
His archaeological training at Glasgow University was put to good use in BBC2's series Two Men in a Trench where he visited historic British battlefields and attempted to recreate the events of each battle. He co-wrote the two accompanying books. He has also presented the BBC series A History of Ancient Britain, Vikings, The Last Explorers and Sacred Wonders of Britain, as well as Coast Australia.
