À propos de cet audio

*A brand new companion to the Last Kingdom series, Uhtred’s Feast, is available to pre-order now*

An oath of loyalty.
Two warring kings.
A destiny he didn’t choose…

England is in turmoil as Vikings and Saxons battle for territory. Rumours build about the fatal sickness of the King, and the country awaits an heir.

A violent clash at sea forces the warrior lord Uhtred to lead his men from his Northumbrian fortress to London and plunge into the eye of the storm. For two kings claim the empty throne, and a new kingdom cannot be born without bloodshed.

Uhtred’s sword will leave one king dead and the other victorious. But sometimes it is hard to know the will of the gods…

Classic Cornwell! If you've listened to this book, you likely know what I'm referring to.

Entertaining

Totally obsessed with the story. And I'm in complete awe over Matt Bates. My mind is totally blown at how he can do the character's voices... they truly sound like different people. His ability is of course limited with the female characters lol, but every single one is believable and well captured. I was especially impressed with the voice he gave the young teen boy. I thought it was a different narrator for a minute.
And the story is just... wow... I can't say enough about it.

just wow.

Another terrific story about the birth of England. Matt Bates is one of my favourite readers. Like all the previous books this one does not disappoint. I believe there will be one more and I will be watching for it.

Another great listen!

Gave it a try .. but Matt Bates just can't compare to Keeble who had the right gravitas and voice for Uhthred. Very disappointing performance. Bates' various impressions just don't suit the characters at all and the story suffers as a result.

Jonathan Keeble is far better.
