I’ve been a fan of novels based on video games for a long time. My affinity for them started with books based on the Myst series which succeeded in drawing me in and immersing me entirely in the universe. Since then, I’ve read novels based on a variety of video game franchises such as Starcraft, Halo, and Mass Effect. Assassin’s Creed also has a series of novels that take place in the fictional universe of the game, and Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will receive the same treatment.
The story will follow the pursuits of a young captain named Edward Kenwa, how he came to be known as one of the world’s deadliest pirates and as his involvement in the battle between the Templars and the Assassins. Penguin Group will be publishing the novel on November 26th, 2013.
Sean started playing video games in infancy. He was not given a choice as much as a directive from his parents to be the best gamer on Earth. Sean was subjected to 10-12 hours of rigorous daily gaming throughout his youth, mastering the most complex video games and dominating online competitions. Sean's symbiotic relationship with video games led to writing about them for various gaming websites, and he is currently involved in sales strategy and analytics at one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Sean's mission is simple: Turn 100% of the human population into gamers, willingly or otherwise.
