A kaleidoscopic historical novel based on unpublished material by Anthony Burgess, from the prize-winning author Adam Roberts
- 'The Black Prince is as dark and bloody as its protagonist ... a colourful medieval tapestry combined with the grimness of twentieth-century newsreel' Margaret Drabble, TLS
- 'A stylistic pastiche that is far more than a tribute act – as though Roberts has dismantled the clockwork that made Burgess tick and reassembled it in a new form' Guardian
