In AD 866, Uhtred, a boy of 10 and the son of a nobleman, is captured in the same battle that leaves his father dead.

As a young man expected to partake in raids and bloody massacres of the English, he grapples with divided loyalties, torn between Ragnar, the warrior he loves like a father, and Alfred, whose piety and introspection leave him cold.

Invictus is a gripping, authentic and exciting audiobook of the Roman army from best-selling author Simon Scarrow. Not to be missed by fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell. It is AD 54. The soldiers of the Roman army patrol a growing empire from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, from the Atlantic to the banks of the Nile. Rome brutally enforces its rule, and its legions are the most efficient and aggressive fighting force in the world.

Bengtsson's hero, Red Orm-canny - courageous and above all lucky - is only a boy when he is abducted from his Danish home by the Vikings and made to take his place at the oars of their dragon-prowed ships. Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies.

Publisher's Summary
A Saxon raised by Vikings. A pagan fighting for a Christian King. The conflict at the heart of a hero will be played out in the fight for England.
It is 877. Across the kingdoms of Britain the Danes are gaining strength. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a pagan warrior, must decide who he will align with: the Vikings who raised him or Alfred, King of the West Saxons.
As the Danes make for Wessex and threaten to destroy the kingdom, Uhtred will forge an uneasy alliance with the king, to lead the last remaining Saxon army in a battle that will be a fight for the very existence of England.
Critic Reviews
Praise for The Pale Horseman:
"Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation." (Daily Mail)
"Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched." (Observer)
"It is stirring stuff, and few writers are better qualified than Cornwell to do justice to the excitement of the times…Ninth-century Britain and a master of storytelling - it is a marriage made in heaven." (Sunday Telegraph)
"Cornwell's mastery of historical sources and his aptitude for battle scenes is well established…the language, and particularly the dialogue, is raw and unarchaic, rich in insults and Anglo-Saxon expletives." (Times Literary Supplement)

Excellent. Brilliant performance.
If you could sum up The Pale Horseman in three words, what would they be?
A superb buy.
What other book might you compare The Pale Horseman to, and why?
The whole series and all Bernard Cornwell's books. They are credible and engaging. Full of excitement and characters you care about.
Which character – as performed by Jonathan Keeble – was your favourite?
His performance captures the essence of Ughtred. The tone of voice expresses such emotions, and doubts. Such a shame he hasn't recorded the whole series.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Absolutely. Both for the story and the performance. (I'm now waiting for more in the series.)

Great story, excellent narrator.
I'm a fan of Bernard Cornwell and really enjoyed this series. The writing skill is outstanding, characters are engaging, plot is intriguing but the best part is the depth of the research into the birth of England. Last but not least is the performance of the narrator. Jonathan Keeble is great.

Again The narrator has excelled himself in this book two of the series,
I think I’ve become a great fan of Jonathan Keeble he does a brilliant job and keeps you totally intrigued and enthralled in the book with his tones, pauses and changes of voices, accents fir each different characters,
It was well written and I cannot wait to listen to the rest in the series.
After watching The last Kingdom it has been very interesting listening to the books of this series, again there is always more in a book.
Bring on the next one

A good book
A great fast paced story with good characters and a excellent performance by the narrator shame there is a change of narrator coming up in future books

The story of Alfred & the Danes he conquered
The second book of the series following Utred in Wessex and his love hate relationship with Alfred. On the scant bones of the Anglo Saxon Chronicles and Esser’s life of Alfred Cornwall has woven a richly satisfying tale of 9th century Britain.
Full marks to Jonathan Keeble for his wonderfully varied voice - a complete listening pleasure

Two down and eleven to go...!
This is great. Nothing like the TV series. Well, they have clearly cherry picked that which they wanted and left the rest, and there is lost. Talk about details and complete plotlines and charactors you've never heard of. I am just about to start the next one... WELL WORTH IT!

I’m loving this series!
Both the first and now the second books in the series have kept me totally enthralled. Bernard Cornwall brings a time long ago alive and you can’t help but grief for them when their story ends.
Jonathon Keeble is legend! I could listen to him all day!…which is pretty much what I have been doing ;)
