about me

Robert Myles is a freelance writer, actor and film-maker. A typical artist-pauper, he is willing to work for food, and will sing a song for six pence, though you will want your money back. He hopes to one day slip through the industry side door and find his big break, so long as it isn't the bridge of his nose. He enjoys skiing, fencing, climbing and travel, but is not a secret agent.

The first two (of seven) parts of the book have been uploaded to the site, which should be more than sufficient as a gauge of its quality. Venom Of The Malice Striker is a complete Historical Fiction novel at 104,371 words.

I am currently seeking literary agents and publishers. You can contact me at rob [dot] myles [at] gmail [dot] com

Venom Of The Malice Striker

Robert Myles

Ragnarök and Revelation in the time of The Black Death. A Viking seeks a cure, a Knight seeks a crusade. The Ends will meet.


1348. Alrik Olvirson is a hunter, an exile and a Viking. His peaceful existence shatters when a plague ship wrecks on the shore. The disease threatens Alrik's family. He resolves to journey out of exile in search of a cure.

With every step further into Christendom Alrik unveils signs of Ragnarök, the destiny of the Gods. This plague is the Venom of The Malice Striker, serpent herald of the end times.

An eccentric Prussian doctor searches for a cure that can wake Europe from its living nightmare, while an arrogant Venetian noble needs an army to restore his wounded Republic. Discovering a city free of the Black Death, they race toward Milan to unlock its secrets.

But a zealot Knight Hospitaller, defined by his Father’s failure at the Fall of Acre, makes the last heathen his personal Crusade. He will see his violent fervour bring the world into Revelation.

Can the power of the prophecies be overcome?

Having spent some time in Tartu and Tallinn I was excited to see a book set in Estonia. It's a great and little known location, which makes it perfect for something like this. It comes with a great cover, and the first paragraphs grabbed me. The parallels it drew in my mind gave it a intriguing meta... view book

Initial thoughts- the way you describe the sand on the hands if very ‘Gladiator’, and you’re already in the coliseum with a protagonist called Maximus. If that’s deliberate evocation, then fair play. - In the fight you call the antagonist “the other”, but we know it’s his best friend. At this point... view book

I love the concept of the piece and the promise of hijinx and hilarity it offers. It's a unique premise and a great idea for a novel. I can see it as a parody of the likes of Frederick Forsyth's Dogs of War. Having read the first chapters, I feel some re-writing could be done to polish the dialogue ... view book

Having read the first four chapters I have to say I like the idea of this book a lot. The tone is really nice, the first-person present is giving it a real Noir feel to me, and Pirate Noir feels like a great combination. The main character is a good one, and the scenario pitches them perfectly so th... view book

Reading the first chapter, I have to say that the high-concept beginnings of the pitch don't even start to capture how high concept this feels. The amount of formatting of the text and the number of different perspectives whizzing around is both difficult and disorientating, but as I got through the... view book
