About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Gemini by Dorothy Dunnett, read by John Banks.

GEMINI represents the final appearance of Nicholas de Fleury, who opened this series as a carefree, clumsy 18 year old apprentice in Flanders. Now he is in his thirties. The culmination of this amazing series sees Niccolo face his toughest battle yet, against an enemy who will tax every skill he has acquired over the course of the last few years...

Critic Reviews

Praise for Dorothy Dunnett

(-)
A storyteller who could teach Scheherazade a thing or two about pace, suspense and imaginative invention (-)
Marvellous, breathtaking (-)
A masterpiece of historical fiction (-)
One of the greatest tale-spinners since Dumas (-)
Lashings of excitement, colour and subtlety (-)
Vivid, engaging, densely plotted - are almost certainly destined to be counted among the classics of popular fiction (-)
Dunnett's legion of devoted readers will need no recommendation to buy Gemini. They would, I imagine, walk barefoot to the bookshop over broken glass to get it ... Anyone reading this novel, even as an introduction to Dunnett's work will, I suspect, join that band of admirers (-)

To wrap things up like she did leaves me in absolute awe about Dorothy Dunnett and how her mind must have worked!

John Banks, the narrator, is the best I have ever heard, and I wish he would also narrate the Lymond chronicles.

Now I need to find something to do which will fill the void I have knowing this series is over.

A brilliant end to a brilliant series

Absolutely loved John Banks’ narration of the journey of Claes/Nicholas/Nikko/Banco/Nicol etc and his people. All the humour, wit and pain in the dialogue comes alive with the narration. I had read the series before, years ago, but listening to them now has been a fantastic experience. Brilliant series and a really satisfying conclusion.

Wonderful conclusion to an extraordinary series

The last in the series and it was a brilliant tale. Listen to them all to fully appreciate the incredible detail and obvious effort of creating such a story. I do wonder if there was another book that could have been written, we will never know now. I am just so grateful for what Lady Dunnett has bequeathed us, for her stories are such a gift that are with us for ever more. There’s no doubt that I will read them all again. For now though it is on to the Lymond (sp) series.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dunnit again Lady Dunnett!
