About this listen
FROM THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WAR LORD COMES AN EPIC RETELLING OF THE ARTHURIAN LEGEND
In the Dark Ages, a legendary warrior arises to unite a divided land . . .
_________
Uther, the High King of Britain, is dead.
His only heir is the infant Mordred. Yet each of the country's lesser kings seek to claim the crown for themselves.
While they squabble and spoil for war, a host of Saxon armies gather, preparing for invasion.
But no one has counted on the fearsome warlord Arthur.
Handed power by Merlin and pursuing a doomed romance with the beautiful Guinevere, Arthur knows he will struggle to unite the country – let alone hold back the Saxon enemy at the gates.
Yet destiny awaits him . . .
From the epic and bestselling author who has gripped millions.
_________

©1995 Bernard Cornwell (P)2014 HarperCollins Publishers LimitedFor the first 6/20hours it was painfully slow with very few moments of excitement that kept me super engaged.
Once it got going it was good, as expected.
The later parts of the book were great and I really really enjoyed them.
The final chapter was epic and amazingly well written and worth waiting for.
Very slow start but finished very welll

However upon reading other reviews I found I was not alone. The first 5-6 hours are hard going but keep at it to be rewarded with a great read.
Almost gave up
