About this listen

For too long the people of Tír na nÓg have suffered under the dominion of the drunes; strange druids who have poisoned the land with their magic. Sláine has had enough of their tyranny and, through the Earth Goddess, he learns some shocking truths about the priesthood and his own future.

Now Sláine must unite the four kings of Tír na nÓg and use their mystical weapons as he and the Sessair tribe prepare for all-out war!

Featuring Colin Morgan, Gerry O'Brien, Ayoola Smart, Gemma Whelan, Stephen Hogan and a full cast, fans of Sláine and newcomers to the famed barbarian's world will be transported to a world of Celtic mythology and fantasy for an immersive listening experience like no other.

Critic reviews

"Indispensable for all Sláine fans" (Life of Die)

"Colin Morgan is brilliant as the brutal yet cunning Slaine, but it's Gerry O'Brien who steals the show as Ukko the Dwarf.... This epic audio hits the spot." (Starburst Magazine)
All stars

I really, really enjoyed this. The Horned God is obviously ba classic and it translates to audio surprisingly well. Colin Morgan makes for a charismatic Slaine. Gemma Whelan was great as Maeve.
If there are going to be more Slaine adaptations, count me in.

Fantastic

this is a great version of the original Pat Mills story from the comic 2000AD and has become known as one of the best comic stories to come from the UK.
This tells the story from the narrator Ukko point of view which helps keep the story flowing with the key scenes played by the rest of the cast . the use of Irish actors in this helps with keeping the story on track and helps with the visuals created whilst listening to the tale, The actor playing Slaine does a excellent job portraying the lead role and doesn't make him sound like an overbearing hero type but just a normal man trying his best for his people and land.
If you are fan of the original comic it may take a while to get use to not having the fantastic art work of Simon Bisley to help visualize the storytelling but stick with it and you will find yourself creating your own visuals as you would with any well played audiobook
One of the best audiobooks I have listened to in a while

A great version of a classic British comic

Excellent production and outstanding performances by all. Would love to see more books in this series. Slaine is a great character and Colin Morgan is exceptional in this role.

Excellent

Amazing to experience this story after over 30 years since I first read the comic. Brilliantly acted and really well produced. Funny, captivating and mystical in equal measure. Just kick back and get lost in the lore.

Amazing.
