12-18-08 Hood by Stephen R. Lawhead - Fiction
4 - Lawhead does an interesting retelling of the Robin Hood tale. Set in Wales during the French occupation, Hood begins with the spoiled prince who suddenly finds himself fatherless and in the middle of a political battle for his lands. Lawhead introduces the reader to Little John and Friar Tuck, but not by those names. The twist is in the translation. An exciting read, Hood is for anyone who ever found the tales of Robin Hood to be thrilling but always felt there was more to the story.

If you like Stephen Lawhead try, " The Flame of Heaven" by Andrew P. Wright. Set in Babylon circa 650bc and present day UK. A good fast paced, action packed read.
