Assassin’s Creed: Gold is a stand-alone action tale from the Assassin's Creed universe.

Meet Aliyah Kahn, a card shark and hustler who’s been dealt a rough hand in life. Living off of her street smarts and scams, Aliyah makes do until she’s outhustled big time by a mysterious older man, Gavin Banks. Her only option to pay the debt is to become an Assassin for Banks. During her training, he tells Aliyah of the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars, asking her to help him decode a secret message inscribed on an illegal form of currency during the Great Recoinage of 1696. This exciting thriller features a full cast, including Emmy winner Riz Ahmed and Anthony Head.

Featuring fan favorite characters of the beloved franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Gold tells a gripping tale of imminent economic collapse, featuring appearances from Warden of the Royal Mint, Isaac Newton, con artist and counterfeiter William Chaloner, blind assassin Omar Khaled, assassin trainer Rose Galloway, and Aliyah’s long-lost father. Equal parts adrenaline-fueled and thought-provoking, Assassin’s Creed: Gold draws a compelling parallel with the financial chaos of Isaac Newton’s 17th-century Britain and the economic uncertainty of recent times.

Fits in perfectly to the overall AC lore

I am and have been a huge Assassin’s Creed fan since the first game, so with a grain of salt I must say I was extremely impressed with Assassin’s Creed Gold. It has all the hallmarks of your classic Assassin’s Creed story. I won’t spoil it here, but the twist of our historical protagonist Omar Khaled is not only inclusive but works brilliantly with this story being a spoken word presentation.
My only complaint is how heavily the story relies on curse words. The amount of S**t and F bombs they drop just comes across as forcefully edgy. It didn’t offend me by any means as I’m used to hearing “bad words” in mature entertainment but IMHO I would think a group of highly trained, constantly on the run modern day assassins would be not only accustomed to being chased but would be educated enough to use more creative verbiage.
Beyond that, it is absolutely worth your time, especially if you’re an Assassin’s Creed fan like myself.

I took a chance. Glad I did.

I'm a fan of the video game series. I was worried this night be a bit forced and convoluted. Thankfully, it's not directly tied to the video game series. It does, however, stay true to the AC Universe. and if Ubisoft ever makes this adventure as a video game, you can bet I'll buy it and play it

Fast paced and very enjoyable

Pleasantly surprised, I'm not really a radio play type of person, particularly a story based upon a video gane, however both the storyline and acting captivated me.

The story is fast paced and very engaging and always left me wanting to know what would happen next. It was a pity it was only 4 hours or so.

Overall pretty good

The story was original, and well put together. It was easy to follow and wasn’t too predictable. There were a few instances of “woke” undertones but it was done subtly enough that it wasn’t constantly bombarding the listener.

Great Little Story

I really enjoyed the story. I have not played the video game yet but watched the movie. This book is an exciting short story full of exciting moments. Great performance by the narrators as well. I was fully immersed.

Imaginative Delight

Absolutely loved it! It was a brilliant and thrilling adventure that I wish was a bit longer. The characters were engaging and the story moved quickly which me wanting more.

Exciting Adventure Great Cast & Production

I’m not a gamer, but I am a bit familiar with the game. This was a wonderful drama with a story based on the game. Excellent cast, superb production. Loved the twists and turns. Audible Originals keep getting better and better. Standouts for me are Riz Ahmed as Omar, Anthony Head as Newton and the wonderful John Chancer as Gavin.

Captivating Story!

This story grabbed me and pulled me in. This was a fantastic program. The production was top notch.
