In Excalibur, we follow Arthur and Derfel to that enormous struggle and incredible victory. It not only throws the Saxons back, but reunites Arthur and Guinevere. He might hope now to be left alone, to have a time of peace after gaining a great victory, but new enemies arise to destroy all he has achieved. First is Mordred himself, the crippled king who owes everything to Arthur and now tries to kill his benefactor. Mordred's ally is Nimue who has come to hate her mentor, Merlin.

Very different view on Arthurian Legend
Revisado: 07-25-16
What did you love best about Excalibur?
The whole series was well done. This was a non-traditional view of the generally accepted version of the legend of King Arthur, which was refreshing if a little startling at first. I like how the author used a narrator to guide the reader through the events that transpired. Jonathan Keeble is my absolute favorite narrator and does justice to this series. Bernard Cornwell's descriptions of battle are so vivid, you almost feel as though you are part of the action. I highly recommend this series as well as any of his books.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is Derfel, who is the narrator and loyal friend of Arthur. The story of Arthur is told through the eyes of Derfel and you grow to care for many of the characters including Arthur, Derfel, Ceinwyn, etc.
Which scene was your favorite?
Ceinwyn jumps off the ship that is taking an injured, possibly dying Arthur to safety in order to stay with her great love, Derfel.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes

Sam Vimes is on a well-deserved holiday. But for the commander of the City Watch, a vacation in the country is anything but relaxing. The balls, the teas, the muck - not to mention all that fresh air and birdsong - are more than a bit taxing on a cynical city-born and -bred copper. Yet a policeman will find a crime anywhere if he decides to look hard enough, and it’s not long before a body is discovered, and Sam - out of his jurisdiction, out of his element, and out of bacon sandwiches (thanks to his well-meaning wife) - must rely on his instincts, guile, and street smarts to see justice done.

Great version of a great book!
Revisado: 05-27-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I love Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and this was my first foray into an audio version. I loved every minute. The narrator did a great job!
What did you like best about this story?
It was entertaining!
Have you listened to any of Stephen Briggs’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, this is my first. I'd be willing to see what else he does and would buy other versions of Discworld books.
If you could take any character from Snuff out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Sam Vines, of course followed closely by Vetinari, whose character is a favorite of mine.
Any additional comments?
Nope.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

audio performance lives up to the book
Revisado: 05-27-14
Would you consider the audio edition of A Game of Thrones to be better than the print version?
I would consider it a close second.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Game of Thrones?
The execution of the Hand and the events leading up to it and immediately after.
What does Roy Dotrice bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I listen on my way to and from work. I have a long commute and he makes it a lot shorter as I am never ready to stop listening when I am finally home. I like his voice and how he tries to differentiate between each character. He does a decent job with the female voices all things considered.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It's been done and done well already by HBO.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend this version as a companion to the written version.
