Viper's Blood

Master of War, Book 4

De: David Gilman

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

Provoked by the dauphin's refusal to honor the terms of his father's surrender, Edward III has invaded France with the greatest army England has ever assembled. But the English lion's attempts to claw the French crown from its master are futile. After defeats at Crecy and Poitiers, the dauphin will no longer meet the English in the field.

Mired down in costly sieges and facing a stalemate, Edward's great army is forced to agree to a treaty. But peace comes at a price. The French request that Blackstone escort their king's daughter to Italy to see her married to one of the two brothers who rule Milan - the same brothers who killed Blackstone's family to revenge the defeats they suffered at his hand.

Blackstone, the French are certain, will never leave Milan alive....

wow!

so glad I found this gem! narrator delivers perfect performance. looking forward to more Thomas Blackstone!

Love these books!

The audio for these books is so good! I feel like I know each character now 😀

Good way to spend hours flying around the World

Good body count ….. not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he gets the job done.

Action, Action, Action

David Gilman leaves no details out in this novel of vengeance, love and honor. 18 hours goes by like 18 minutes in this gripping novel. Gildart Jackson is never a disappointment as he reads the novel with enthusiasm and electricity. I caught myself laughing at the crude jokes of the fighting men and empathetically mourning with the characters. Thankful I’m only half way through the series, hungry for more.

History comes to life

As a historical fiction fan, these books stand out in their more accurate portrayal of what life was like for the common man during the time. I also greatly appreciated how the author didn't shy away from sickness, disease, or filthy descriptions. Great books, wonderful performance.

Vipers Blood

OK - maybe not as engaging & exciting as the first 3….but I’ll continue to invest in Mr Gilman’s story. Very Good - a solid B+

Loved every minute of it.

So good. Can’t get enough. The only thing disappointing is when the book ends. So glad there is more. On to the next book.

Beautifully Brutal

There are so many great elements in this story to mention. Familiar characters continue to develop. New characters come to life with brilliant, concise exposition. The plot is woven adroitly through the actual history and the characters fit the designs. Antagonists are brutally evil and the triumph of the protagonist and his supporting cast are brutally satisfying. As ever Gildart Jacksons narration is a perfect blend of weighty and nimble without excessive performance. On to the next instalment!

Can’t stop listening.

Good story and well well written. I can’t wait to get into the next book.

Awesome revenge saga for the Scar faced knight!

Blackstone doing what he does best, honor, courage and revenge with a mix of intrigue and scandal.
