This first instalment in the Chronicles tells of Rodrigo’s rise to prominence when he became the champion of Prince Sancho of Castile. This is but the beginning of a tale which still stirs the blood a millennium after it began. The legend that was El Cid began more than 1,000 years ago, and time has meant that reality and fiction are intertwined like the threads of a spider’s web.

love these adventures
Would you consider the audio edition of The Lone Warrior to be better than the print version?
I don't know as I've not read it
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lone Warrior?
When Jack Lark finds his lost love
Have you listened to any of Dudley Hinton’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Very well
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the hero realises and accepts that he can't fix everything
Any additional comments?
Well written and well performed tale of adventure, heroism, violence and truth. Its a rollicking yarn but it doesn't avoid cruel reality
