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.

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.

Know Your History?

If you know your history, you will quickly realise where the author is headed with this plot, based around actual recorded events. However, Davids' skilled story telling makes all his books a joy to read.
Skilled narration compliments the storyline making this a must for all Gemmel fans.
