His name is Parmenion. Despised by Spartans and Macedonians alike, he must fight for his place in the world. Yet he will survive.

Dark forces have marked out his destiny as the most fearsome warlord Greece has ever known. For he will become the Lion of Macedon - and will reshape the glory of Greece before he faces the wrath of hell....

Great story, shame about the choice of narrator

I've always loved this book. And I was very excited to hear it as an audiobook. But the choice of narrator made it almost unbearable to listen to.

From his boring and monotonous cadence. To his unsuitably high voice. He really ruined this audiobook for me. Such a shame.

Great Introduction to Gemmell

Excellent gateway into the writings of David Gemmell and his regular elements of shades-of-grey warriors, redemption, the Source and Chaos, spirit travel and the Void.

A great telling of in unheard story

The book is classic Gemmell leaning on his Source and Chaos theory in the Greek age. Superb storytelling at a blistering pace. The narrator takes a bit of getting used to but you soon find the rhythm of his lift at the end of each sentence.

Wrong voice for story

While I’ve listened to Peter Kenny read other book, his voice does not match a butch and male oriented story.
