Oliver Bowden
Historical Fiction
Oliver Bowden is a pen name used by multiple authors for the Assassin's Creed novelizations.
Initially, it was used by Anton Gill, a professional writer since 1984 with 35 published books.
Gill, born in Essex to a German father and English mother, is a novelist and Renaissance historian.
More recently, Andrew Holmes has taken over the Oliver Bowden pseudonym, authoring the last six titles in the series.
The authors behind Bowden are avid gamers, drawing inspiration from playing the Assassin's Creed games.
This approach allows them to develop characters and storylines that complement the game series while maintaining a consistent authorial voice across multiple books.
