Storm of War

The Saxon Warrior, Book 2

By: Peter Gibbons

Narrated by: Sean Barrett

The next thrilling instalment of Peter Gibbons unputdownable Saxon Warrior series

The fight for a torn Kingdom rests in the hands of a few brave men…

990AD.
King Aethelred II, who men will one day call The Unready, rules over a land divided by the shadowy spin of his mother Queen Ælfthryth and the sprawling power of the Church.

The Viking Warlord, Olaf Tryggvason smelling the Kingdoms weakness brings the vicious Jomsvikings to the Saxon coastline ravenous for war and plunder.

Together Lord Byrthnoth, Ealdorman of the East Saxons and Beornoth his Saxon Thegn lead a force of oath sworn Viking killers, every bit as brutal and war-skilled as the Norse invaders to protect the Kingdom against enemies both from within, and from the cruel seas.
They are pushed to the very limits of their bravery and endurance in a desperate fight for the very existence of the Saxon Kingdom.

In a riveting story of treachery, betrayal, vengeance and war, can Beornoth defeat his enemies and protect the Kingdom from destruction?

Storm of War continues the unmissable Viking historical fiction saga series which began with Peter Gibbons' Warrior & Protector.

If you like Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden, and David Gemmell you will love this epic Saxon adventure packed with battles, Vikings, and adventure.

Great book

This was an outstanding book. I highly recommend it. Love how the author started to history as close as possible.

Fantastic story and reading

Love how the author is able to explain Saxon culture from clothing, to food to warfare while creating characters as fragile and human as they most likely were. The reading and performance of the book is also amazing.

Very good but author didn’t consider audio version when assigning names

My biggest gripe is that two of the main characters have names that may be typographically unique and readily distinguishable but phonetically are so similar that it is nearly impossible to determine who the author is referring to. It would be like having two principal characters named Stephen and Steven. C’mon!!!!!
