About this listen
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.

Our favorite moments from Assassin's Creed: Gold
Ok—I want more!
The Assassin's Creed video game franchise follows an intriguing premise: a centuries-old secret war between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, fought through various historical time periods and told from a modern-day perspective. The games are vast, immersive, and challenging with intricate puzzles, and, of course, deadly stealth assassinations. Assassin’s Creed: Gold is an all-new Audible Original multi-cast drama and stand-alone story that takes place during the Great Recoinage of 1696. Riz Ahmed, Danny Wallace, Tamara Lawrance, and Anthony Head as Isaac Newton (!!) give stellar performances in this breathtaking listen that captures the adrenaline-fueled action sequences from the video games. I must say that it does help if you’re just a tad familiar with the Assassin’s Creed world as there are some surprises from past games, but not so much where you’d be lost in the story. Bring on more video game-inspired listens!

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Well done, but listening requires work
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.

If assassins creed and Sherlock Holmes made a baby
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..

Audio Drama! My new fav!
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!!

Mostly fun
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.

Lots of fun!
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.

Stunning radio drama. brilliant!
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!
