Über diesen Titel

The fifth novel in Bernard Cornwell’s epic and bestselling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

BBC2’s major Autumn 2015 TV show THE LAST KINGDOM is based on the first two books in the series.

In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity…

First comes Harald Bloodhair, a savage warrior leading a Viking horde, who is encouraged to cruelty by his woman, Skade. But Alfred still has the services of Uhtred, his unwilling warlord, who leads Harald into a trap and, at Farnham in Surrey, inflicts one of the greatest defeats the Vikings were ever to suffer.

This novel, the fifth in the magnificent series of England's history tells of the final assaults on Alfred's Wessex, that Wessex survived to become England is because men like Uhtred defeated an enemy feared throughout Christendom.

Kritikerstimmen

"Cornwell draws a fascinating picture of England as it might have been before anything like England existed." (The Times)

but a new Narrator, well I just needed to get used to Matt Bates, because i was so used to Jonathan Keebles brilliant narration of Uthreds story, still love it, its hard to surpass him, acually not possible. but after some time (several hours), and me letting go of the fact Jonathan Keeble wont continue the last kingdoms, I'm quite happy Matt Bates was hired to finish the series and not someone else.

Great Story, as always

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
The last 4 books were a joy to listen to, mainly because apart from the story the narration was also excellent. I really wanted to give this narrator the benefit of the doubt having to step into some pretty big shoes. They do not know how to pronounce names, especially Gisela and Ragnar, whom they pronounce as "Rangar". Drives me up the wall, sadly.

Great Book, but the Narrator...
