Robin Hood is in hiding. He has a 100,000 pound bounty on him by gangster Guy Gisborne, after he came off 2nd best to Robin and his legendary archery skills. Robin is hiding with the people of Sherwood Forest and he needs to keep his head down – but he’s not one to sit still.

Sheriff Marjorie Kovacevic is planning her annual trophy hunt of exotic animals at her home of Sherwood Castle. Celebrity guests are all lined up for the event, and Robin is keen to help the Animal Freedom Militia (friends of his new Sherwood forest family) put a stop to it, also showing the world what the Sheriff is up to.

The result is an action filled attack, full of body-cams, paintball guns, flying paint, and red smoke bombs.

John Hood (now living with his mother the Sheriff) has a lot going on his life too. After a fight at school, he’s been sent to another, and is struggling to fit in. He soon makes an unlikely friend. As all this is taking place, Guy Gisborne is plotting Robin Hood’s downfall and painful punishment.

The 2nd in this series, Robin’s archery skills are again put to the test, as is his courage and loyalty to his new friends of Sherwood Forest.

Humour, action, technology and the over-arching menace of mobster Guy Gisborne, make this another great read.
