Morningstar

De: David Gemmell

Narrado por: David Monteath

A country in desperate need of heroes.

Angostin invaders surge through the Highlands, laying waste to everything in their path. Darkness follows in their wake as a mad necromancer resurrects the eons-dead Vampyre Kings.

Only the bandit Jarek Mace, and the magicker and bard Owen Odell, have the courage to fight the Angostins and the undead. Whispers soon spread that Mace is the legendary Morningstar, a saviour who will protect his country in its hour of need. Yet Mace seems nothing more than a thief and a liar.

As the final battle approaches, Odell wonders which of the two Maces will triumph: the self-serving rogue or the saviour of his people, the Morningstar.

Masterful Story

My favorite of all the Gemmel stories. It never fails to inspire me. A pleasure to listen to.

Not his best overall, but still excellent

Compared to Legend and some others, the storyline is weaker, but still enjoyable fantasy. Great storytelling.

Phenomenal story

This is one of my all time favorite stories. As a Gemmell novel, it's right there with Legend. The performance is so good I'll look for other stories read by the actor just to hear him tell them.

A young child’s fantasy!

This book is an old favorite of mine. I read it to my sons and loaned it frequently to many others. The weaving of the story and the way it was skillfully written with twists and turns while in the view of “the bard”. Made it a great read. The ups and downs as well as the humor and sadness make for a great tale. If you like fantasy. It will definitely entertain you to say the least.

Exceptional!

I loved this book. It's one of Gemmell's best that I've heard. I highly recommend it.
