A bold new story

Instead of just another iteration of the Arthurian legend, this is a bold new spin-off of it, and definitely NOT the same old schtick, giving King Arthur a whole new story! The book starts out in 2019, but then jumps us back to King Arthur's final battle and death! Yes, that's really where this book starts... But, King Arthur has his Knights, and of course his ace-in-the-hole, Merlin! With Merlin's magic, King Arthur, and his Knights only sleep until England has need for them again! Every time the Monarchy is in jeopardy, King Arthur is there fighting! Not as a King of course, but still a leader of men, he's there unheralded, taking care of business.  Jacob Sannox skips us through this action-packed bit of history, and brings us up to current times... You're gonna wanna get this one, and find out how that worked out for Arthur!
This is one of those books where the union of book and narrator is so perfect, that the end product is actually better than the sum of it's parts! Thank the gods (and Nigel Peever) for narration like that!

some good scenes but not compelling

I like the premise of King Arthur returning to save the day, but I wasn't drawn into this story. The vignettes featuring Arthur incognito changing the tides of war at various historical British battles were not compelling. Also, I found the modern day villain hard to credit. But some scenes are excellent, especially the opening battle when Mordred and Arthur fought to the death. I do recommend THE SUMMER TREE trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay for readers interested to see Arthur Lancelot and Guenevere returning to a modern day fantastical epic battle.
Decent narration.

The Ravenmaster's Revenge

This was a very good book.It switched back and forth from Merlins time to current time. It seems King Arthur was 'frozen',along with his knights for a time when he would be needed again. Nigel Peever was a terrific narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Wonderful narration

Nigel Peever's narration brought the characters to life, especially in the case of King Arthur.

Fantastic

I loved everything about this book! The narrator was amazing, the storyline was great, the characters were well built. I am usually not a huge fan of books that bounce between different timelines but that was not the case here. The author was able to do it seamlessly and without any issues.

This is a great story about King Arthur and his knights. Even if you are not into the King Arthur stories, you will like this one!

King Arthur Returns!

This unique story starts in 2019 but really begins with the death of King Arthur in his final battle, a battle that pits father against son. King Arthur’s death is just the beginning, Merlin intercedes with his magic putting Arthur and his Knights into a deep sleep so they can awake in the future when England will need their help again. This story moves smoothly back and forth between the past and present with the excellent narration provided by Nigel Peever. You are not left with a cliffhanger ending and could end the story here but I’m sure you will want to continue on to “Agravain’s Escape” because why would you want this story to end.

Can't beat a good story with King Arthur in it!

Really loved this book. I think I finished it in 2 days. I have always loved stories about King Arthur. This one has a hole new twist to it. Nigel’s narration was fantastic he has such a powerful voice. Over all a great book. Can’t wait to start book 2.

Resurgence of King Arthur

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this story. King Arthur is resurrected to be involved in some very historical moments in England. Along with Merlin and the most villainous characters from time, King Arthur rises to the occasion (no pun intended). Being a lover of all things historical, I recognized most of the scenarios where Arthur fictitiously took part. The narration was great. This is the first in the series and I look forward to the next installment.

Awesome!! Loved it!

The Ravenmaster's Revenge brought King Arthur and his knights alive again!! Great plot and great characters. I fully expected it to be so since Nigel Peever always performs in great well written books by top notch authors! Highly recommend this book!!
