Resumen del Editor

For centuries, the world of Safehold, last redoubt of the human race, lay under the unchallenged rule of the Church of God Awaiting. The Church permitted nothing new - no new inventions, no new understandings of the world.

What no one knew was that the Church was an elaborate fraud - a high-tech system established by a rebel faction of Safehold’s founders, meant to keep humanity hidden from the powerful alien race that had destroyed old Earth. Then awoke Merlyn Athrawes, cybernetic avatar of a warrior a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which Earth was lost.

Monk, warrior, counselor to princes and kings, Merlyn has one purpose: to restart the history of the too-long-hidden human race.

And now the fight is thoroughly underway. The island empire of Charis has declared its independence from the Church, and with Merlyn’s help has vaulted forward into a new age of steam-powered efficiency. Fending off the wounded Church, Charis has drawn more and more of the countries of Safehold to the cause of independence and self-determination. But at a heavy cost in bloodshed and loss - a cost felt by nobody more keenly that Merlyn Athrawes.

The wounded Church is regrouping. Its armies and resources are vast. The fight for humanity’s future isn’t over, and won’t be over soon…

awesome performance

oliver wyman is one of the best voice actors, who really knows what he's doing. the storyline and characters are really well introduced and performed as it should be, not like in books 6,5,4 & 3!

Great Page Turner

Plenty of action of military situations. Also enjoyed the narrator much better than earlier books

awesome

Oliver Wyman is my favorite reader for this series....his vocal range is extensive, and his characterizations bring the characters to life for me.

Great saga

Like a Mighty Army continues the war between the Empire of Charis and the Church of God Awaiting. Thankfully, this recording has Oliver Wyman. The one complaint I have about this series is the constant changing of narrators. All in all, this is the next step in the war. I know some folks have said it's too drawn out and there's too much detail, but that's actually what I enjoy about the series.

great listen

love the whole series please keep the same narrator for the next book can't wait for the next one

Much better than the previous book

This book is much better than the last one. I have not heard this narrator before and I am going to go back now and listen to the first few books in the series just because I enjoyed the narrator so much even though I have read all of Webber's work so far.. Much like Christian Rummell does his books, Oliver makes this book a joy to listen too.

I like the narrator in this one.

Awsome narrator. Makes a huge difference. This one is more fluent. And doesn't sound like he's reading or monotone you know

happy Oliver Wyman is back!

struggled with the different readers but thrilled to have Oliver back. stupid 15 word limit

I hope the next book comes out soon.

this series is worth waiting for, but I would prefer to wait as little as possible

I love Sci Fi

Would you consider the audio edition of Like a Mighty Army to be better than the print version?

I haven't read any of the series. The audio books are great.

What did you like best about this story?

The idea of some having advance technology, which looks like magic, in the middle ages.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

I enjoy the story telling

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Rebirth of a Space civilization.
