About this listen

The fourth in the bestselling Alfred series from number one historical novelist, Bernard Cornwell.

The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and Alfred's kingdom of Wessex in the south. But trouble stirs, a dead man has risen and new Vikings have arrived to occupy London.

It is a dangerous time, and it falls to Uhtred, half Saxon, half Dane, a man feared and respected the length and breadth of Britain, to expel the Viking raiders and take control of London for Alfred. His uncertain loyalties must now decide England's future.

A gripping tale of love, rivalry and violence, Sword Song tells the story of England's making.

Another excellent listen from Bernard Cornwell. I'd previously listened to the triology (The Last Kingdom, The Pale Horseman and The Lords of the North) and I'd recommend listening to those first so you've got the context for this one. If you like Cornwell's battle, bloody and bravery, you'll love this one. Great narration too.

I downloaded the wrong version initially so had to buy the unabridged version again but it was worth it. I'm sure if this narrator had started the series I would have carried on with this book but Jonathan Keeble who narrated the first 4 is a legend. I'll have to read the rest of the series on kindle now. Why do they change a perfectly good narrator part way through a series?

Disappointed.

Wrong narrator! The edge is missing from the story and it's lacks the gritty feel of the time in which it is set
