1066: Apocalyptic Visions is an exciting and interesting work of historical fiction, which is vividly characterised and tensely constructed.
1066 was an eventful year in England's history. It is remembered for the Battle of Hastings, but so much more happened and could have happened in those twelve months. It saw the coronation and the death of two Kings, and two major battles that would end the Anglo-Saxon era to give rise to the dawn of a new one, the Normans.
This novel begins just before the death of King Edward the Confessor and the naming of his successor continuing with a compelling narrative around the events that followed.
The reactions to the appointment of the new King of England from the other suitors to the Crown continue the story, which then builds up to the three battles in 1066
The battle scenes portray the lurid violence of 11th Century hand to hand fighting and omit none of the graphical scenes witnessed in that era.
The social and political realities of that time are described amongst the gruesome detail of this turbulent time in British history.
The novel ends with the succession of William the Conqueror to the Throne, but leaves the reader in no doubt that the submission of England is not yet complete.
