The Sword

By: S. M. Stirling, David Drake

Narrated by: Franklin Pierson

For five years Raj Whitehall has led his men across the face of the planet Bellevue. With saber and bayonet he has conquered one barbarian nation after another. Now his greatest enemy is his own overlord, Barholm Clerett, who’s so paranoid of Raj’s victories that he is reduced to only one thought: Raj Whitehall must die.

Excellent

A story that holds forth with ideas that will not change. Ideas that are true for all ages. This story was written over 20 years ago and still as good when I read first!

Book is not associated with the rest of the series

It has been many years since I read the series, but I thought I remembered the original books were a series of five. I was correct. Audible does not include this book. the fifth book, as part of 'The General' series.

Outstanding

The General series is one of my favorites. It’s not for everyone. At times brutal, it remains one of the most exciting reads/listens ever.

Incredible series

I’ve read this series a couple of times . Once to my father , so we could enjoy it together . Now I’ve listened to it a couple of times ! It’s worth the money and it’s worth your time . Share it with your people . You can’t go wrong .
