The Last Kingdom

By: Bernard Cornwell

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

The first installment of Bernard Cornwell’s New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit Netflix series.

In the middle years of the ninth century, the fierce Danes stormed onto British soil, hungry for spoils and conquest. Kingdom after kingdom fell to the ruthless invaders until but one realm remained. And suddenly the fate of all England—and the course of history—depended upon one man, one king.

From New York Times bestselling storyteller Bernard Cornwell comes a rousing epic adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle as seen through the eyes of a young warrior who straddled two worlds.

Great story!

Wonderful storytelling, excellent narration. I could not stop listening. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys historical fiction.

A fine work of historical & embellished narrative.

Very educational historically. Adventurous and endearing. Do watch out for some adult content. This book will make you happy, sad, angry and more!

Mr Cornwell hits another home run

Bernard Cornwell is the master of historical fiction. His characters come to life.

Jonathan Keeble is perfectly suited for this type of story.

I will listen again and again.

Skäl!

Absolutely amazing! I was didn't want it to end. So I will be looking for more.

As good as the Netflix series

You go into Uhtred's head, understanding why his loyalties change between Saxons and Danes. I love the story and Jonathan Keeble has a perfect voice to tell a story like a bard. Will listen to the rest of the series since the ending only handles one of Uhtred's goals (Mildred and their son) but there are more.
