The Bruce Trilogy 2" by Nigel Tranter.

This trilogy tells the story of Robert the Bruce and how, tutored and encouraged by the heroic William Wallace, he determined to continue the fight for an independent Scotland, sustained by a passionate love for his land. Nigel Tranter succeeds admirably in bringing the story of Robert I - Scotland's greatest King - to life. Not only is his historical research near flawless, but the book is graced by that indisputable mark of a great story teller the reader is wholly absorbed into the world of the Bruce and his friends. Tranter also manages to draw a whole mixture of feelings from his readers - love, hatred, admiration and even that strange mixture of respect and disgust for Edward I that Bruce himself is said to have harbored. Nigel Tranter he is one of Scotland's most prolific and respected writers. He has an amazingly broad grip of Scottish history' ? He is an accomplished writer of compelling and unforgettable historical novels' With his imaginative dialogue, he provides a voice for Scotland's heroes Scotland 'Tranter's popularity lies in his knack of making historical events immediate and exciting. These audio books are very amazing story tale with nice pace of thoughts and free flow of story line. This audio book is nice story telling style. I was most certainly not disappointed.

Bruce. A new look.

Great listening and a fantastic view.
Bruce was probably a more modern type man than 1300 was ready for but Bruce and Wallace together in the same timeline wow.

Why is this abridged?

Great writer, great read, great story, absolutely abysmal audio book.
I had look forward to having this book to listen to and was seriously disappointed. If you are a lover of Scots history I would recommend that you either go read the paper or Kindle version of this trilogy. It is a waste of valuable time and money to get this book. They have omitted some of the most important parts of the story of The Bruce and our struggle for independence.
