Publisher's Summary

A century has passed since the heroic defence of Dros Delnoch. But the people of the Drenai face a new terror: a mad emperor kept in power by two forces of unsurpassed evil. The Joinings are werebeasts of awesome power. The Dark Templars are warrior-priests whose fighting skills are without equal. Against them the Drenai face certain defeat. One man, an outsider hated by the Drenai for his Nadir blood and despised by the Nadir for his Drenai ancestry, sets out to bring down the emperor. He is one man against the armies of chaos.

He is Tenaka Khan - the Prince of Shadows.

Heroic Fantasy at its best

What can I say about this audiobook? I have read and reread King beyond the Gate several times, but hearing it read is a whole other experience. David Gemmell never lets down his audience. Action, love, war, and philosophy. The characters are well rounded and the narrator reads it in a way that envelopes you within the world of Dreni urging the characters on. You will love, laugh and cry with this book. I did.

Fantastic follow up

Assuming you're listening to these in publication order (the right order) this is a amazing follow up. If you liked Legend, you'll love this

good taking, great book

I already loved this book and the audiobook didn't disappoint! great reading too, although the accents for Renya sometimes felt off.
