Red Hound (Paperback)

Red Hound, The making of Cuchulainn, the greatest of Irish heroes From out of the darkness of ancient times before history, legend has passed down to us the names of a few great heroes and a few momentous incidents which were the backdrops for their deeds. In pagan Ireland, the bards preserved the memory of a moment when a great army invaded Ulster, only to find its path blocked by a single young man with extraordinary skills and a turbulent past. Stripped of the myth and magic which came to surround the old stories, this is the tale of how the youth Setanta became Cuchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, the Red Destroyer, the greatest of champions.
