About this listen

The Knights of the Gabala were legendary protectors of the Nine Duchies - until they disappeared through a demon-haunted gateway between worlds. Manannan, the Coward Knight, held back. Now he lives in torment.

Yet war is coming to the Duchies - and with it Manannan's chance for redemption. But to regain his honour and save his land, he will have to confront his deepest fear. He must ride through the gateway and seek out his lost companions in the unknown world beyond. And the secret he will learn there will tear his soul apart.

Narration was irritatingly slow, so I listened to it at 1.2 speed and it was bearable… though the pronunciation of some words was seriously odd.

Story was pretty average, not up to the authors usual standards.

Worth a listen!

I enjoyed the story overall but had to keep skipping back to get my head round all the names as they were all unusual.
that said it was still interesting.

a bit awkward

David Gemmells stories are always awesome I've not come across a bad one in either the physical form of books or whether here on audible.

Whoever decides on who tells the stories on these types of platform are also doing a really good job as the narrator grabs you from the off and doesn't let you go until he's finished.

Awesome as always

So, in the interests of transparency I did read this book years ago and liked it enough that I still have the original paperback on my bookshelf. I went into this with some excitement as I haven't read it for a number of years and was expecting as one does in these situations that it would be like putting on an old coat or pair of shoes that fit perfectly. Well it seems the old coat is now too tight and the shoes have worn thin. I have long since come to terms with the fact that the much missed Mr Gemmell's writing style was not Tolkien-esk but was faced paced and the characters, even though they where sometimes very similar to ones in his other books were always entertaining. My issue with this rendition unfortunately is with the narration. The narrator seems to be unprepared for the words he is saying, in one passage that I actually had to rewind to make sure I'd heard it correctly the narrator pronounces the word sword with the w intact, as SIR WARD. The characters switch and change accents, sometimes northern sometimes upperclass and more than one changes whilst in the middle of a conversation. I almost returned this audiobook but decided to soldier on, more out of respect for Mr Gemmell than anything else. There are other books available by the same author and Sean Barrett is excellent reading LEGAND, give those a try perhaps before this particular offering

Ohh dear, where to start?
