About this listen

Please note: This title contains explicit language

Assassin’s Creed: Gold is a stand-alone tale from the Assassin's Creed universe in which we meet Aliyah Khan, a card shark and hustler who’s been dealt a rough hand in life. Surviving through her smarts and street scams, Aliyah struggles to get by until she loses big time to a mysterious older man, Gavin Banks. Her only option to repay Banks is to become an Assassin. During her training, Banks tells Aliyah of the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars, imploring her to help him decode a secret message inscribed on an illegal form of currency during the Great Recoinage of 1696.

With a cast of characters beloved the world over by fans of the franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Gold tells a gripping tale of imminent economic collapse, featuring appearances from Warden of the Royal Mint, Isaac Newton, con artist and counterfeiter William Chaloner, blind assassin Omar Khaled and assassin trainer Rose Galloway. Equal parts adrenaline-fueled and thought-provoking, Assassin’s Creed: Gold draws a compelling parallel with the financial chaos of Isaac Newton’s 17th-century Britain and the economic uncertainty of our more recent history.

Audible’s new full-cast drama will realise the clash of the Assassins and Templars as a gripping audio thriller with lead performances from Riz Ahmed (Emmy winner, Golden Globe nominee, The Night Of, Rogue One, Four Lions), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Little Britain), Danny Wallace (BAFTA Games Award winner, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed III) and Tamara Lawrance (Corvidae, On Chesil Beach).

Performed by: Riz Ahmed, Laura Aikman, Rachel Atkins, Brian Bowles, Andrew Branch, John Chancer, Lily Donovan, Rupert Fairley, Ray Fearon, Owen Findlay, Jason Forbes, Nicholas Goh, Anthony Head, David John, Jim Johnson, Will Kelly, Tamara Lawrance, John Last, Gemma Lawrence, Nicholas le Prevost, Simon Lipson, Hayward Morse, Paul Panting, Laila Payne, Nigel Pilkington, Joseph Radcliffe, David Rintoul, Anne Rosenfeld, Jennifer Saayeng, Gyuri Sarossy, Danny Wallace and Daniel Weyman.

This was really unusual. Not a normal read more like listening to a stage play. I really like the format. The story was involving, and the cast was fantastic!

Excellent

I've been a fan of the Assassin's Creed universe for a while, and have never enjoyed the books. This was something I'd never seen before, and it was short, so I thought I'd give it a go expecting the same quality as previous books. It was, unexpectedly, not a book at all but more of a radio play - with a full cast, sound effects, and fast pacing. It was a bit hard to follow at times - where a book would describe a scene or visual media would show it, you were left to work out where/what/how, and sometimes the pacing of the book made this very difficult - but overall enjoyable, and I appreciated that most of the main characters were POC - many of the AC universe main characters are white so it was very cool to see others given the spotlight.

Not what I expected, but enjoyable

As with every other Assassin's Creed story before it, it's the moments set in the past that make AC Gold truly shine. The modern day story was fine but I personally wanted it to end each time so I could go back to listening to the conversations between Omar and Issac Newton. Solid story and performances throughout, even though Riz Ahmed steals the show as expected!

The past > The present

I thought the acting of Omar and Rose's characters were perfect, they definitely carried the story for me. And I must say, I know plot twists are a thing, but this one had more red herrings than a Norwegian fish soup!

Entertaining, and not too long.

Definitely has an authentic Assassin's Creed feel to the story. 10/10 would recommend for any fan' of the franchise.

As a fan of Assassins creed franchise this was a good story to add to the already existing law and builds upon a part of history I would love to see fleshed out more.
Enjoyable story, good characters.

Enjoyed the story.
