English Knight

Anarchy, Book 1

De: Griff Hosker

Narrado por: Malk Williams

The throne of England is slipping from King Henry’s grasp. His only son has drowned in the English Channel, and the predators are gathering ready to devour both England and Normandy.

When the last of King Harold’s housecarls returns to England to die, he brings with him a reluctant hero who will save the kingdom. Alfraed, son of Ridley, is the first of a new breed; he is an English knight.

English Knight is a fast-moving audiobook set in that most turbulent of times, The Anarchy. Filled with action and battles, this is the first in a series of chronicles painting a picture of a bloody time in English history when the only people you could rely on were your household warriors and you slept with a dagger beneath your bed.

Great fun!

OK, so bear with me. This is the third novel I have read of his so far, and essentially all of the heroes seem to be the same thing. Masculine hero with plot armor, navigate through historical circumstances, and we get to meet other historical figures through them. I’ve read other authors that do that, and it just doesn’t work. But this author absolutely makes it work and somehow makes it lots of fun. He puts enough tension in there to keep it interesting, but you never really feel like the characters in tremendous danger.
But I don’t know, I’ve just really been enjoying the heck out of his stories. And he loves horses. All of his characters know lots of stuff about horses. So get ready to learn a lot about horses.

It Gets better as it goes along

The story started out slowly, but it got more interesting as it went along. The next installment should introduce us to King Stephen and the Empress Maud.

great story

took me a bit to warm up too the narrator but truly loved the story. Griff did it again

action packed

Straightforward writing style. Easy to follow. Heavy on action and set in a very interesting period of English history

Fun and historic tale

The narrator did a great job and I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story was light on plot and character development but it was still enjoyable if a bit predictable to listen to.

Terrific

Excellent from start to finish . The author and narrator have combined their efforts into a truly amazing book that I will definitely recommend to all readers who enjoy historical novels.

I’m a fan now

How thankful I am for this Author to continue this storyline….I look forward for this to control on.

great book . great series by a top notch author

if you're into well written well researched historical fiction I highly recommend not only this book and series but all of Griff hoskers works. only issue is many of his series don't have all of the books recorded yet

Descriptive writing

Narration and excellent writing, not a flowery romance, wonderful transportation to another millennium-easy to follow

Another amazing Griff novel. This author is gold.

It is rare that you can count on a writer to deliver with each and every novel. If you’re a fan of historical combat fiction, you CANNOT go wrong with his books… any and all hit their mark.with a library on audible of hundreds of books, this writer is one of the best.
