About this listen

When he's caught stealing, young Alan Dale is forced to leave his family and go to live with a notorious band of outlaws in Sherwood Forest. Their leader is the infamous Robin Hood. A tough, bloodthirsty warrior, Robin is more feared than any man in the county. And he becomes a mentor for Alan; with his fellow outlaws, Robin teaches Alan how to fight - and how to win.

But Robin is a ruthless man - and although he is Alan's protector, if Alan displeases him, he could also just as easily become his murderer....

From bloody battles to riotous feast days to marauding packs of wolves, Outlaw is a gripping, action-packed historical thriller that delves deep into the fascinating legend of Robin Hood.

Great historical story full of authenticity and brutal deaths which pulls no punches. The superb narrator's simple Northern no nonsense delivery really makes you believe he is a medieval thief then outlaw amongst the damp, mud and sh*t of the period. Excellent 😁😁😁

Brutally realistic

I finished listening to Outlaw yesterday; I read the Book in early 2018 and finished reading the whole Series by early 2021, I've had my Eye on the Outlaw Chronicles Audiobook Series for a while, I loved listening to the Audiobook.
But the only 2 problems I had with it were that the Chapters were not in correct order and the Reader, who did a good job at reading, didn't add enough passion or emotion. But apart from that...I loved the Audiobook and cannot wait to listen too Holy Warrior.

Outlaw Audiobook Review

I found it almost intolerable until I put the playback speed to 1.25.
after doing this, it was up there with everything else I've read from Donald. Truly gripping in parts.

whilst the narrator was good at inviting the emotion associated with any given passage, I found the speed he chose to use extremely difficult.
perhaps this is because I am a speed reader, but thanks to the increased playback function, it made this a truly enjoyable story.

great story - slowly read

really enjoyed this coming of age story of a young man called Alan Dale. it's through his journey do we begin to understand the time, the place and the ultimate outlaw, Robin Hood. the story is a first person account of the trials and tribulations of Alan.

my only problem with the first person account of Alan is that we don't get to learn about the history of other key characters like Robin Hood. they are there with little to to no historical information about who they are and why they are the way they are.

interesting angle
