About this listen

The fourth book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

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.

Based on the reviews and the preview that I have just listened to this will be my final book that I will listen to in this series. Why change narrator after four books, which were all told by a great story teller. It’s not the fault of the the next narrator, unfortunately for him the task of picking up after his predecessor, who was perfect for the role hasn’t worked. If you miss the first four books then you’ll not be drawing comparisons unlike those who have listened to them and found it either difficult or impossible to listen to another tell the story. Why they changed narrator is beyond my understanding, I just buy the books,

Great Fourth Book!

Jonathan Keeble tells this story as though you were listening to Uchtred himself, he speaks with the same emotion and broken manner of the old warrior telling his story.

Incredible narration
