Tyrant: Storm of Arrows

Tyrant, Book 2

De: Christian Cameron

Narrado por: Peter Noble

The stunning sequel to Christian Cameron's epic TYRANT.

Kineas, the Athenian cavalry commander, has come a long way since being dismissed from the army of Alexander and vengefully exiled by his own city. Together, his mercenary force and their Scythian allies have defeated a mighty Macedonian army at the Ford of the River God, and his adopted city of Olbia is now free once more. But his destiny will not allow him to enjoy the fruits of victory for long. Far to the east, at the farthest edge of the Sea of Grass, Alexander is threatening to crush the Scythian hordes once and for all.

The Lady Srayanka of the Cruel Hands, the Scythian warrior-princess who spurned a king's love to be at Kineas's side, is pledged to take her tribe east to help stop 'the monster' - and Kineas knows he has no choice but to follow, even if it means embracing the violent death in battle that he has seen prefigured in countless dreams.

But long before he can confront the might of Alexander's army alongside his beloved Srayanka, he must undertake an epic journey of breathtaking daring...©2009 Christian Cameron (P)2020 Orion Publishing Group

Another great book by this author

On track to read every book by this author. Really enjoyed this second book in the series.

Cameron is the single best historical fiction writer

Studious and detailed, yet fast paced and incredibly well written, As I've now come to expect.

good, but not as good as others

not as good as some of his others. Reoccurring dream sequence gets a bit much

Excellent

Its as if the narrator was made for this story, perfect match. An excellent series if you are into historical fiction.

Historical fiction at its best

This alone would have made a fantastic series. I can't wait to see what's next.

The 1st book was Great!

The 2nd was pretty repetitive.... Getting ready to fight a battle and fighting a battle, then getting ready to fight another battle and fighting another battle. Always coming within an inch of death and then kicking butt. On one hand he was a great Warrior, one of the greatest ! ! but he was far too forgiving far too soft ! :-( really unbelievable...

Wonderful writing. Great Story. Well Told.

Only my third Cameron book. Peter Noble is on point as usual and brings the story to life. I know I will listen again. I have become a big fan of historical novels. Entertaining to the max. Christian Cameron is a great writer and entrusting his work to Peter Noble makes for a can’t lose combination.

Enjoyable, with a few annoyances.

As always, this narrator is great. The story is pretty good and I'm a fan of this author. My only criticism is DREAM SEQUENCES. For the love of the gods, enough with the dream sequences. Probably would have knocked an hour off this audio book to cut out the erroneous rambling dream sequences...

Probably the worst of his books

More fantasy than historical fiction. The main character is a magic seer who sees the future in his dreams (which gets annoying very fast since it’s all the same thing over and over again), who decides to commit suicide rather than raise his kids. He is either brilliant or incompetent depending on what the plot demands. Hopefully the next book is better now that its main character is dead. 

poor performance

many parts couldn't be heard, I can't tell if the story was good or not.
