À propos de cet audio

The fifth novel in Bernard Cornwell’s epic and bestselling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

BBC2’s major Autumn 2015 TV show THE LAST KINGDOM is based on the first two books in the series.

In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity…

First comes Harald Bloodhair, a savage warrior leading a Viking horde, who is encouraged to cruelty by his woman, Skade. But Alfred still has the services of Uhtred, his unwilling warlord, who leads Harald into a trap and, at Farnham in Surrey, inflicts one of the greatest defeats the Vikings were ever to suffer.

This novel, the fifth in the magnificent series of England's history tells of the final assaults on Alfred's Wessex, that Wessex survived to become England is because men like Uhtred defeated an enemy feared throughout Christendom.

Having listened to books 1 through 4 the change in narration is disappointing. The original narrator was really good. To much of a change in style.

Previous books were narrated better

Performance was lacking everything that made the previous audiobooks a masterpiece. Shame because Matt Bates is a great narrator, just not for this series. Won’t be listening to the rest of them

What a BLOW

I’d really appreciate the reader to research how certain names are pronounced so that it sounds authentic. Steapa sounds like steaped tea and it is pronounced stee-uppa.

Some words are miss pronounced.

At first I was taken aback by the change in reader. I wasn’t sure if continue with the series since Jonathan Keeble did such an amazing job. However once I got over initial shock and wrapped my head around the two pronouncing some names differently, I found Matt Bates to do an excellent job. Comparing the two who be like comparing apples and oranges.
The quality of writing and plot are as always top notch and I think this is a particularly strong entry in the series.

Jonathan Keeble replaced by Matt Bates

I have been crushing these books while driving around for work. Loved the first few, but this new narrator is horrible. Doesn’t put any effort into adding emotion or depth to characters. The previous gentleman was a million times better. I will not be continuing these books with audible.

Amazing story
