Audio Book Summary

The third installment of Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit BBC America television series.

After achieving victory at King Alfred’s side, Uhtred of Bebbanburg is returning to his home in the North, finally free of his allegiance to the King—or so he believes. An encounter with a vicious slave trader introduces Uhtred to Guthred, the self-proclaimed King of Northumbria. Curious about Guthred’s astounding claim, Uhtred follows him north. But he soon discovers fate has another incredible surprise in store, and begins an unexpected journey that climaxes in the midnight siege of a city thought impregnable—a dangerous seige that results in the forging of England.

Lords of the North is Bernard Cornwell’s finest work yet—a breathtaking adventure, but it also tells the story of the creation of English identity, as the English and Danes begin to become one people, appropriating each other’s languages and, thrillingly, fighting side-by-side.

    I was literally embarrassed for this narrator. He's truly hard to listen too. The narration ruined the whole experience for me.

    Horrible narrator. He makes Ragnar sound like a sniveling pussy. This guy needs to go back to working at the library. The book was good. It was nice to see Uhtred go through something difficult such as becoming a slave. The looming ‘Red ship’ was enjoyable. Ultimately I’m finding the themes redundant and beginning to fade on the series. I’m still waiting for it to hold up (in any way) to the warlord chronicles.

    It was hard to know if I liked the book, as the narrator was so poor. I've been reading the entire series and am spoiled by Jonathan Keeble who has read most of the books in the series. It really throws you off when you are used to the voice of all the characters from other books, then the publisher picks a substitute reader who is so vastly different.

    Love the book, hate the narrator. Maybe hate is a little strong. Intensely dislike, mostly because he\'s not Jonathan Keeble. What were they thinking? Why mess with perfection?

    Enjoyed the book but the narrator was not as good as the one used for The Last Kingdom and Pale Horseman.

    So I literally just downloaded this book right now. I got through the first words of the introduction and thought “Holy Shit, this narrator sucks, not the same dude”. Then I read the reviews. Ouch!!!!!

    Absolutely terrible compared to the first two Books, why can’t we hear the version with Jonathan Keeble? The narrator did not carry the same power as Jonathan did in the first 2 books.
