The Armour of Light

Kingsbridge, Book 4

De: Ken Follett

Narrado por: John Lee

The grand master of gripping fiction is back. International No.1 bestseller Ken Follett returns to Kingsbridge with an epic tale of revolution and a cast of unforgettable characters.

Revolution is in the air

1792. A tyrannical government is determined to make England a mighty commercial empire. In France, Napoleon Bonaparte begins his rise to power, and with dissent rife, France’s neighbours are on high alert.

Kingsbridge is on the edge

Unprecedented industrial change sweeps the land, making the lives of the workers in Kingbridge’s prosperous cloth mills a misery. Rampant modernization and dangerous new machinery are rendering jobs obsolete and tearing families apart.

Tyranny is on the horizon

Now, as international conflict nears, a story of a small group of Kingsbridge people – including spinner Sal Clitheroe, weaver David Shoveller and Kit, Sal’s inventive and headstrong son – will come to define the struggle of a generation as they seek enlightenment and fight for a future free from oppression . . .

Taking the listener straight into the heart of history with the fifth novel in the ground-breaking Kingsbridge series, The Armour of Light is master storyteller Ken Follett’s most ambitious novel to date.

Vintage Follet & Lee

Loyal to history and to the known twists that makes Follet feel like a satisfying journey.

Wonderful

I just love the KINGSBRIDGE stories. The history, the human condition, the reality of the story. Ken Follett is an amazing storyteller, a Master Storyteller.

good story poor narrator.

I found the story a little too detailed regarding the battle. the rest was good. I found the narrator irritating and OTT. It was very off putting and detracted from the story. I hope I never have to listen to another book narrated by him.

Ken Follett never disappoints

Read all his books - must admit there was one I didn’t enjoy - but that was because I didn’t like the subject matter - “Never” I hope never see a woman President of the USA in my life time.

Always worth the read

Another great piece to add to his previous work. Really transports you back and easy to visualise the times👏

Disappointing

I found this to be a little boring and I preferred his other books .. it fell a little flat in my opinion

My least favourite of the series

Excellent narration and writing. I did not however enjoy the plot as much as the previous books of the kingsbridge series. I did not really bond with any of the characters. That said it’s still a very nice book.
