About this listen

Born in the storm that doomed his father, Connavar grows to manhood among the mist-covered mountains of Caer Druagh, where the Rigante tribe dwell in harmony with the land and its gods. But beyond the border, across the water, an evil force is gathering strength, an unstoppable force that will change the world beyond all recognition. Haunted by malevolent spirits and hunted by evil men, Connavar sets out on a spectacular mission to save his people.

From the master of the genre, this is a tale of love and honour, friendship and courage, as Gemmell explores the intriguing worlds of Celtic myth and earth magic.

Book is awesome. unsure why a Female Narrator was used as the characters are 90% male and it is a book primarily warriors.. also too softly spoken at times and accidents are one dimensional. Sounds like the men are in a constant state of puberty with cracking voices..

Why a Female Narrator?

I was lucky enough to hear and see David Gemmell talk about his Rigante Saga before it was released.
It was a rare opportunity when you could sense and feel clearly the resonance of pride from a master craftsman, who had his own sense of just how special what they had found in themselves would be.
Sword In The Storm begins a Series of 4 Books that distill and highlight the best of what David Gemmell had to offer.
Over the years and countless rereads, that has never left me.
And this was a magnificently Rendered Performance that elevates that Resonance.
Heroic Fantasy at its rousing Best!

I have been a David Gemmell fan since I read Legend as a first run hardcover. I lost the ability to read in 1994 after brain surjury and tried audio books for 25 years, then I was given Knights of Dark Reknown on Audio disc. 4 books later a a friend found Audible for me & I lost myself in the Drenai. The first time I tried to listen to David Gemmell Sword in the Storm I quit because how could a woman do justice to a Gemmell story - I ask forgiveness for my prejudice, I WAS WRONG. This needed an excellent Narrator & Adjoa is, Siebenesc. Thank you.

surprise!
