Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time in Ireland's history when chivalry and chieftainry ruled the land. When the country was occupied by bands of warriors who spoke only their native tongue and who cherished their heritage and civilisation. This was the time of Cuchulainn. All of the warrior bands had their own Seanachie, a person responsible for recounting the deeds of times past, a chronicler of the ages. Cuchulainn was their most famous subject and hundreds of tales of his heroic and terrifying deeds, such as single-handedly defending Ulster at the age of seventeen, and his battle frenzy in which he knows neither ally nor enemy, have survived to this day. This is an exhilarating new telling of Cuchulainn for our time, full of valour, passion and bloodshed.
