Summary

Did you know that the gods can use mobile phones?

They can, and Odin has a message for Conrad....

Conrad Clarke, former RAF pilot and alleged gangster, gets a text – and a visit – from The Allfather.

Odin has a challenge for Conrad: Sign up to protect England from wild magick and get a commission in the King’s Watch.

All he has to do is find a missing witch. Simple.

Conrad never could resist a challenge. Before you can say “Ragnarok”, he’s plunged into a world of gods, mages, witches, dwarves, and one very aggressive giant mole.

But the witch doesn’t want to be found, and powerful mages will kill to keep her hidden. Going back isn’t an option. Going forward looks a lot like death.

Armed with nothing but a sense of humor and a willingness to cheat, Conrad has to find the Witch and save his life.

Superbly narrated by Ciaran Saward, the first two books of the King’s Watch are now available in audio format.

Treat yourself to a copy now and experience a whole new universe of magick. And moles....

I think that I have read all the authors published works, but this is the first that I read of them.
Unfortunately those I wished to press it upon don't read.
It's a odd book and series, especially given Conrad's past history in other books. That doesn't prevent it being great fun.
One other review complained about a robot voice, it's deliberate. The thing speaking looks more like R2D2 than any animal, has few recognisable emotions and is made out of rock!

Still, if you came to this book from the authors other work you might well be shocked. Especially as Conrad carries through into this series, as does another character in a later book in this series, not yet available.

Been waiting for this.

Having already read the operation jigsaw trilogy I had high expectations to this first audio book and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Fantastic listen

A future classic of its genre, witty and clever but with an interesting dark side.

Great book

Via tan is a master of accents. And a great narrator. I would highly recommend this book. I am off to get the next one in the series.

Great story

I really enjoyed this book, it too me off on a wonderful journey around England and into the world of magik - brilliant stuff…only problem is that the next book in the series doesn’t come fast enough. The narration is excellent…what a wonderful performance by Ciaran Siward - love love love this series of books

Brilliant book
