About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Blazing Sea by Tim Hodkinson, read by Rycharde Everley.

The thrilling new Whale Road Chronicles Viking adventure. Einar and the Wolf Coats venture south, but danger and bloodshed is never far away.

Einar and the Wolf Coats have angered most of the kings of Northern Europe. With England no refuge, their only solution is to set sail across the Whale Road.

A chance encounter with a slave trader leads them to Muslim Spain, but what starts as a joyous homecoming for one of the crew ends in the Caliph's infamous dungeons.

The Mediterranean proves a perilous sea. Byzantine warships roam, armed with liquid fire that can torch man and ship alike. Viking mercenaries and pirate lords alike spill blood for gold or glory.

With a chance to retake his stolen kingdom of Orkney, Einar must first save an innocent life... and risk his own and those of his crew once more.

Happy to have another instalment with the exploits of my favorite/weirdest crew I have ever read about, exceptional as usual and I'm looking forward to the next instalment

Fantastic

Overall a good story as I have followed the whale road chronicles from book 1 but it just feels like a bit of a throwaway book or cash grab not Tim’s best work by far and has left many open questions hopefully answered in his next book

Felt like a cop out

Seems this was written for 10yr olds. Characters seem one dimensional. Stopped listening about 90min in. Just couldn’t take it anymore.

Feels dumbed down.
