I know that -_-

But then he became a Colonist Commander, that's the bit im playing on..

Apologies. I've just always understood the assertion that Connor's father being British was referencing nationality and not political allegiance. And he wasn't a colonist commander at the time of Connor's birth. He was still a British soldier until he sold his commission after the Seven Years' War and only became a General in the Continental Army when he volunteered after the war broke out.

I'm not trying to start an argument with you over this, so please don't misunderstand my position.

I'm really glad about this. I hate it when video game books are just retellings of the game: it never properly fits into the game and it's boring to retread old paths. This is far more interesting. I hope they keep doing this, the AC universe is ripe for stand-alone stories, like the Halo books.

Agreed, I read a book once on the force unleashed (Not the book the game was based off of, but someone else translating the game into a small novel). It wasn't very interesting...

Ugh I really don't want to read another of Bowden's novels but this blurb is actually making me interested

[LoyalACFan]

Maybe it's both. Maybe Haytham trains Connor and Connor doesn't know that it's his dad til the very end?

I hope not, because if this was true we will have discovered the plot twist about two months in advance

"Do not judge a book by its cover"

I like the idea that Forsaken stories of a completely new story.

I don't think people are judging it by its cover. Connor would probably be the novel's main character, and Haytham could be included for one part of the book, like a prologue.

I think what people are actually judging it for is because of Bowden's god-awful sentence structuring.

Even though it makes sense for Haytham to be Connor's father, ya'll are missing one very important detail. If it's an Assassin who trains Haytham to be a better killer, that would mean Connor's father is an Assassin, meaning he'd be born into the Brotherhood. They already stated that he is not. However, what if it's a Templar who trains Haytham? Wouldn't that be a crazy twist? Connor becomes an Assassin for justice, then finds out later that his father was actually a Templar......

That's only on the assumption that Haytham is Connor's father, of course

Maybe thats why they didn't want Connor's name released.
