The Raven and the Nine

The Viking Blood and Blade Saga, Book 6

By: Peter Gibbons

Narrated by: Michael Langan

If you like Bernard Cornwell, David Gemmell, John Gwynne, and Conn Iggulden, you will love this Viking adventure packed with battles, betrayal, axes, and swords.

879 AD, Norway. Halvdan, son of Ragnar Lothbrok and King of Dublin, is locked in a savage war with Irish Dubgaill warriors in a battle for supremacy of Ireland’s coastal strongholds.

Hundr, a Northman with a dog's name…Viking warships flying the raven banner…and the echo of Ivar the Boneless.

Hundr and Einar the Brawler are drawn into a search for the son of Bjorn Ironside, lost during the war for Ireland’s future. Old enemies seething with vengeful fury emerge to throw Hundr and Einar into the most dangerous fight of their lives.

Hundr must join the war between the Finngaill and the Dubgaill and decide the fate of Dublin. Can he survive brutal betrayal and vicious shield wall battles in this fast paced Viking adventure with striking characters and bloodthirsty action?

The Raven and the Nine continues the unmissable Viking historical fiction saga series, which began with award-winning author Peter Gibbons' debut novel Viking Blood and Blade.

Great story, awful reader

Please go back to the original narrator from the first four books! The reader in this one constantly mis pronounces names and words.

Ties it all together

great book wish the narration was from books 2, and 3 though. the current narrator did well but preferred the other

Guy can’t pronounce main characters names

Great book, terrible reader, mis pronounces names and words with terrible cadence. I hope it’s someone else reading the next saga.

Like Saxon tails I am vested in characters.

This is a good fun listen. No high art here just characters that I am vested in the their tail. And it is well done and thankful Gibbons developed stories.

Characters

Loved how each of the characters are so developed and have grown over the years and all the books
