Assassin’s Creed: Gold is a stand-alone action tale from the Assassin's Creed universe.

Meet Aliyah Kahn, a card shark and hustler who’s been dealt a rough hand in life. Living off of her street smarts and scams, Aliyah makes do until she’s outhustled big time by a mysterious older man, Gavin Banks. Her only option to pay the debt is to become an Assassin for Banks. During her training, he tells Aliyah of the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars, asking her to help him decode a secret message inscribed on an illegal form of currency during the Great Recoinage of 1696. This exciting thriller features a full cast, including Emmy winner Riz Ahmed and Anthony Head.

Featuring fan favorite characters of the beloved franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Gold tells a gripping tale of imminent economic collapse, featuring appearances from Warden of the Royal Mint, Isaac Newton, con artist and counterfeiter William Chaloner, blind assassin Omar Khaled, assassin trainer Rose Galloway, and Aliyah’s long-lost father. Equal parts adrenaline-fueled and thought-provoking, Assassin’s Creed: Gold draws a compelling parallel with the financial chaos of Isaac Newton’s 17th-century Britain and the economic uncertainty of recent times.

Audible’s full-cast drama brings the clash of the Assassins and Templars to life as a gripping audio thriller with lead performances from Riz Ahmed (Emmy winner, Golden Globe nominee, The Night Of, Rogue One, Four Lions), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Little Britain), Danny Wallace (BAFTA Games Award winner, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed III), and Tamara Lawrance (Corvidae, On Chesil Beach).

The Audible Original also features the talents of Laura Aikman, Rachel Atkins, Brian Bowles, Andrew Branch, John Chancer, Lily Donovan, Rupert Fairley, Ray Fearon, Owen Findlay, Jason Forbes, Nicholas Goh, David John, Jim Johnson, Will Kelly, John Last, Gemma Lawrence, Nicholas le Prevost, Simon Lipson, Hayward Morse, Paul Panting, Laila Payne, Nigel Pilkington, Joseph Radcliffe, David Rintoul, Anne Rosenfeld, Jennifer Saayeng, Gyuri Sarossy, and Daniel Weyman.

loved it.!!! from start to finish. Will put this one on my #1 list of Ebooks to listen to multiple ×s

Great story!

This is an amazing book that I love but it seemed very short I would like it more if it was longer and it seemed to progress too fast.

It’s VERY GOOD but is too short

This audio book is a performance, not a reading, so there is no narrator. That makes it hard to understand what's going on sometimes, hearing just bangs and grunts. And there's often noise in the background that make the voices of the actors less distinct than they would be otherwise.

So, while I think the performance is well-done, I'd prefer a straight narration for my purposes, which is normally something to listen to while doing house or yard work. Performances just take too much concentration.

Well done, but listening requires work

It would be this book. The story premise and characters felt like a double episode of Holmes from a Victorian side, twisted up with a gritty modern side where people use the f-word frequently.

I enjoyed most of the book. There were parts where the main female whined a bit and it only slightly added to the story. Then parts where the male lead would act normal then have a rage reaction or moral reaction counter to a second before. YOU WILL TELL ME WHERE THEY WENT!! then a minute later he'd tell someone else not to act the same way..

If assassins creed and Sherlock Holmes made a baby

AC Gold was an enjoyable listen. Great cast and riveting story tied in with history, which is what the AC games are known for. Hoping they make more.

If you're a fan of the games...

I think this is the best way to experience audiobooks. This is my second audio drama (after The Sandman). It’s like watching Netflix with your ears, imagination and with you eyes closed.

This story was easy to follow and exciting. I remember watching the Assassin’s Creed movie and enjoying that. This classic is even better. I just wish it was longer!!

Audio Drama! My new fav!

I really wanted to love this but I was constantly waiting for Omar's plotline to pick up. I just didn't care at all for the lady's story. I understand that there's no narrator and so you need the two storylines that would at some point converge but I am not a fan of the girl's own background story. It just felt unimportant to me, it didn't hold my attention. I would almost definitely prefer a narrator rather than flashbacks in the machine.
This book took me a long time to finish. I think I prefer the cutscene movies on YouTube.

Mostly fun

Fantastic performances with a great story. I had quite the time listening. It was definitely fun.

fantastic performances, and a great story.

Firstly, this is one of the best multi cast recordings i have come across, so bravo. The author also did a marvelous job of recreating the feel of an Assassin’s Creed adventure with only the written word, and in a way that would work for both fans and new listeners.

Lots of fun!

British radio drama is fantastic, I truly miss it in the US. This has all the hallmarks: easy to follow story even though it's complicated with dual timelines. Brilliant!

Stunning radio drama. brilliant!
