The brand-new novel in Bernard Cornwell's number one best-selling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. BBC2's major TV show The Last Kingdom is based on the first two novels in the series. From the day it was stolen from me, I had dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg. The great fort was built on a rock that was almost an island; it was massive, it could be approached only on land by a single narrow track - and it was mine.

The first book in a brand-new series, The Last Kingdom is set in England during the reign of King Alfred. Uhtred is an English boy, born into the aristocracy of ninth-century Northumbria. Orphaned at 10, he is captured and adopted by a Dane and taught the Viking ways. Yet Uhtred's fate is indissolubly bound up with Alfred, King of Wessex, who rules over the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault. The struggle between the English and the Danes and the strife between christianity and paganism is the background to Uhtred's growing up.

Publisher's Summary
The 11th book in the epic and best-selling series that has gripped millions.
A hero will be forged from this broken land. As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.
Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg knows that peace is far from reach. Though he has won the battle for his ancestral home, rebellion looms in Mercia and invading Norsemen appear at every turn. With the country in turmoil, Uhtred comes face to face with King Skoll, a violent Norseman leading an army of úlfheðinn, or wolf warriors, hellbent on seizing a kingdom – and killing any in his path. Surrounded and outnumbered by new enemies, Uhtred must call on all his skill and courage to survive and prevent his beloved Northumbria from falling to the Viking hordes.

A Bit Lacking
I have loved all the Last Kingdom books up to this point. I re-listened to the series before starting this book, and each one is absolutely fabulous. But I have to say, this particular book seemed a bit tired and formulaic, it lost it's edge. I wish that more of the story line surrounding Steora and Seatrigger had been included. It just seemed like several characters were touched on but their story wasn't really developed. Also the ending of Uhtred's marriage to Edith was a bit of a let down. He was so passionate and committed to his other loves, and this relationship just sort of fizzled out. As the storyline of this book progressed, Uhtred's ongoing self doubt and self blame became tedious, so for me this book was a bit of a disappointment.

The final battle of this novel is perfectly described as the author goes back and forth between Uhtred's memory of the battle and his responses to a young Christian poet priest. Minor characters' valor surprise readers and villains' dastardly exploits repel us. Excellent. Descriptive. Fun.

Audible got this very wrong
Although a great story, the opening started at Chapter 7 or 8 and the second half of the book played first, with the ending in the middle of the recording. Not what I expect from Audible and to be frank, it ruined a good book and story.
Audible at fault not Bernard Cornwell.

Tale of Uhtred continues to engross and enthrall.
To my mind Bernard Cornwall is peerless in Historical fiction, and this series is my favourite. I wonder why I left it so long to read the latest instalment of Uhtred's saga - but as soon as I started reading and listening I knew I would not get much done until I finished. If you have enjoyed the previous books this one will not disappoint - and if you have not, you should, though you would do well to start with the first book not this one which is no. eleven methinks. Bring on no. twelve! The narration is top-notch in the audiobook!

A book you can not stop reading until you get to the end.
The pace of the War of the Wolf is fast and furious. You can not put it down as you have to find out what will happen next. You are swept along with Uhtred, feeling his frustration with the situation he finds himself in, the limitation that his advancing age has on his strength and speed and his pain at the death of his daughter. I was expecting that while one of his warriors disappears early on in the final battle, that he would turn up later and have some important consequence and was pleased to be right. Good triumphs over evil and the reader draws a breath of relief. But then you realise it’s a long wait until the next instalment.
