Sword Song

The Last Kingdom Series, Book 4

By: Bernard Cornwell

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

The fourth book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and Alfred's kingdom of Wessex in the south. But trouble stirs, a dead man has risen and new Vikings have arrived to occupy London.

It is a dangerous time, and it falls to Uhtred, half Saxon, half Dane, a man feared and respected the length and breadth of Britain, to expel the Viking raiders and take control of London for Alfred. His uncertain loyalties must now decide England's future.

A gripping tale of love, rivalry and violence, Sword Song tells the story of England's making.

Breathtaking

Another great book in a great series. Gripping story, perfectly narrated. Battles described with amazing detail in a lively manner. Highly recommended.

Sadly, the 4th and last JONATHAN KEEBLE narration.

The first four novels in this series were simply OUTSTANDING thanks to Jonathan Keeble's stellar NARRATION. For reasons I'll never understand, Bernard Cornwall changed narrators for the 5th novel, and in so doing terminated the remainder of a 13 episode series (for me). I gave episode 5 a listen but failed to make it though the first hour as I so missed Johnathan Keeble's gift of such extraordinary passion..... I immediately started the 3 part WARLORD CHRONICLES (same author) narrated by no other than... JOHNATHAN KEEBLE👍👍👍

Awesome Performance and Story

I love the story and how it's told. Jonathan keeble is my favorite version of this.

Loved it!

Once more I have been transported thanks to a great writer and brilliant narrator. Sadly, I have listened to a brief snippet of the next book and find myself torn because of the change in narrator. Jonathan Keeble brings a book and its characters to life for me, I think that a new narrator will be lacking and I will not enjoy the immersion as I normally do. Whatever the reasoning I feel it is poorly done to switch narrator part way through a series.
I may continue at a later date but for now I will savour what has come before and take a break.

Best narration I’ve heard!

Jonathan Keeble’s performance was superb! His ability to create subtle differences in character with his voice is amazing. I was amazed at the difference in his voice between the older and younger Uhtred.
