Sword in the Storm

Rigante, Book 1

By: David Gemmell

Narrated by: Adjoa Andoh

Born in the storm that doomed his father, Connavar grows to manhood among the mist-covered mountains of Caer Druagh, where the Rigante tribe dwell in harmony with the land and its gods. But beyond the border, across the water, an evil force is gathering strength, an unstoppable force that will change the world beyond all recognition. Haunted by malevolent spirits and hunted by evil men, Connavar sets out on a spectacular mission to save his people.

From the master of the genre, this is a tale of love and honour, friendship and courage, as Gemmell explores the intriguing worlds of Celtic myth and earth magic.

Excellant all around!

This is a well-written storyline and tale of what seems to be a believable fantasy based on historical mythology? The narrator, Adjoa Andoh, is spectacular with her diction and voices. Looking forward to Rigante II and others in the series.

Amazing story

The story was excellent and captivating!

The only star off on the performance is that the volume of the reader was a bit erratic, I had to mess with the volume knob a lot.

Great book with mis-read parts

Chapter 6 the reader seems to have forgotten how to read and the title of the book. Multiple times they refer to Connavar as “Sword in the Stone” instead of storm. It’s disruptive for such a great story.

I love this.

This book and its sequel are one of my all time favorites. Gemmell does hero fantasy like no one else. Full reccomend.

Amazing!

I've loved this story for years and to have it told to me in audio is a dream come true. I will say the narrator makes a few mistakes but it's still an awesome book!
