The King's Assassin

De: Angus Donald

Narrado por: Mike Rogers

AD 1215: The year of Magna Carta - and Robin Hood's greatest battle.

The yoke of tyranny

King John is scheming to reclaim his ancestral lands in Europe, raising the money for new armies by bleeding dry peasants and nobles alike, not least the earl of Locksley - the former outlaw Robin Hood - and his loyal man, Sir Alan Dale.

As rebellion brews across the country and Robin Hood and his men are dragged into the war against the French in Flanders, a plan is hatched that will bring the former outlaws and their families to the brink of catastrophe - a plan to kill the king.

The roar of revolution England explodes into bloody civil war, and Alan and Robin must decide who to trust - and who to slaughter. And while Magna Carta might be the answer their prayers for peace, first they will have to force the king to submit to the will of his people....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Joyous writing, full of verve and control." (Conn Iggulden)

"A gloriously entertaining reboot...Donald's Robin is a fascinating figure - enigmatic, unpredictable, charismatic and more Benedict Cumberbatch than Errol Flynn. Huge fun." ( The Times)

"Angus Donald delivers rip-roaring novels that fling you headlong into the dark undercurrents of the medieval world, written in a taut and compelling style and seething with skulduggery. A master of adventure." (Robyn Young)

A great book

The book was well written and well read.
One of the best of the series.

Robin Hood series

Angus Donald and story teller mike Rogers do a super job. Great detail and fast moving. I have just finished book 6. I have listened to the series 1-6 one more to go in a row and I would put they two side by side with Louis Lamour, another author who I have been reading for over 40 years. Well done!!

Angus Donald is King.

this book was excellent. Like every book in the series. They are all must listens.

great series.. good job

I've read this series already more that once.. the voice is point on.. making it so easy to make an image of the characters.. love it ..

An exceptional Read

loved it! was skeptical that this chapter was do devoid of historical record- Robins involvement that is- but on the strength of the earlier books I went for it and glad I did.
This was the best so far.
this author thoroughly rivals Bernard Cornwell in every way. I've read them both rather extensively now and they are a hands down favorite!!
