BBC2's major TV show The Last Kingdom is based on the first two novels in the series. From the day it was stolen from me, I had dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg. The great fort was built on a rock that was almost an island; it was massive, it could be approached only on land by a single narrow track - and it was mine.

Winning Combination
The vocal and acting skills of Jonathan Keeble are a perfect match for the story-telling genius of Bernard Cornwell. The whole Warlord Chronicles trilogy deserves 5 stars. Cornwell has created the most compelling representation of the Arthur legend I've encountered. And Keeble, with his magical voice, brings it all alive.

Perfect Voice Performance
I really enjoyed this, the Warlord Chronicles Trilogy, but especially because of Jonathan Keeble's excellent performance. He was the perfect choice for narrator, does a wonderful job with the various characters and really brought the story to life for me.
The Chronicles are a richly detailed work, which takes some time to get into and can be slightly demanding as a reader. But Cornwell, read by Keeble, subtly weaved all the many strands together making a tale that hums in the memory and makes one wish for a time that probably never existed in this particular way.
I know I'll be listening to these again.
