Like a Mighty Army

Safehold, Book 7

By: David Weber

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

For centuries, the world of Safehold, last redoubt of the human race, lay under the unchallenged rule of the Church of God Awaiting. The Church permitted nothing new - no new inventions, no new understandings of the world.

What no one knew was that the Church was an elaborate fraud - a high-tech system established by a rebel faction of Safehold’s founders, meant to keep humanity hidden from the powerful alien race that had destroyed old Earth. Then awoke Merlyn Athrawes, cybernetic avatar of a warrior a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which Earth was lost.

Monk, warrior, counselor to princes and kings, Merlyn has one purpose: to restart the history of the too-long-hidden human race.

And now the fight is thoroughly underway. The island empire of Charis has declared its independence from the Church, and with Merlyn’s help has vaulted forward into a new age of steam-powered efficiency. Fending off the wounded Church, Charis has drawn more and more of the countries of Safehold to the cause of independence and self-determination. But at a heavy cost in bloodshed and loss - a cost felt by nobody more keenly that Merlyn Athrawes.

The wounded Church is regrouping. Its armies and resources are vast. The fight for humanity’s future isn’t over, and won’t be over soon…

awesome performance

oliver wyman is one of the best voice actors, who really knows what he's doing. the storyline and characters are really well introduced and performed as it should be, not like in books 6,5,4 & 3!

Great Page Turner

Plenty of action of military situations. Also enjoyed the narrator much better than earlier books

another outstanding book in the series

another excellent book in the series I really enjoyed the ending and definitely look forward to the next one I highly recommend this series to anyone who reads this while there is a lot of back and forth in some of the books the storyline itself is outstanding

awesome

Oliver Wyman is my favorite reader for this series....his vocal range is extensive, and his characterizations bring the characters to life for me.

Great saga

Like a Mighty Army continues the war between the Empire of Charis and the Church of God Awaiting. Thankfully, this recording has Oliver Wyman. The one complaint I have about this series is the constant changing of narrators. All in all, this is the next step in the war. I know some folks have said it's too drawn out and there's too much detail, but that's actually what I enjoy about the series.
