Sword Song

The Battle for London

By: Bernard Cornwell

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

The fourth installment of Bernard Cornwell’s New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit television series.

The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and the Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the south. Warrior by instinct and Viking by nature, Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord, has land, a wife and children—and a duty to King Alfred to hold the frontier on the Thames. But a dead man has risen, and new Vikings have invaded the decayed Roman city of London with dreams of conquering Wessex... with Uhtred’s help. Suddenly forced to weigh his oath to the king against the dangerous turning tide of shifting allegiances and deadly power struggles, Uhtred—Alfred’s sharpest sword—must now make the choice that will determine England’s future.

great story

Jonathan Keeble is the only narrator fitting for this series. I will not buy the next book in the series until Keeble narrates it. For now I will buy the paper copy. Harper Audio what happened to Keeble?

5 stars

Another great book by Bernard Cornwell! I only wish Jonathan Keeble narrated all books in this series.
Job well done

yesssss

Jonathan Keeble doesn't just read a story, he tells a story! i wish he would have narrated the whole series!

Utrid for President

Another enjoyable tale with riveting combat scenes! The weave of competing loyalties and interesting history make this a great story - the rich voice of the reader makes for compelling entertainment

Thank the gods we have Utred back!

I was worried after the awful narration of book three that I'd regret getting this one, but I am so pleased to have gotten this audiobook! back to powerful narrator, a book of battles and Utred's tale.
