About this listen

Amid the carnage of the 100 Years War - the bloodiest conflict in medieval history - a young English archer confronts his destiny....

England, 1346: For Thomas Blackstone, the choice is easy - dance on the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and join the king's invasion.

As he fights his way across northern France, Blackstone learns the brutal lessons of war - from the terror and confusion of his first taste of combat, to the savage realities of siege warfare.

Blackstone will brave the terrors of the High Alps in winter, face the Black Prince in tournament, confront the bloody anarchy of a popular revolt, and emerge from the Battle of Crecy as a knight.

He may yet defy death but he can't defy his destiny: Master of War.

Collected in a single volume for the first time, the first three novels in the epic Master of War series, comprising of: Master of War, Defiant unto Death, and Gate of the Dead.

this is the best deal in audible

and amazing tale filled with epic battles, harsh betrayals and some light humor that here me enthralled for the 6 days it took me to listen to this 52 hour monster. it's narrated so well. sour Thomas Blackstone, and sure Gilbert killbear forever have a place etched into my heart. do yourself a favor and listen to "Master of war"

Outstanding story and narration.

So very enjoyable! Excellent research and the narration and story are first class. Don't want it to end! . . . Edit/update: the above was written during second book section. I will now express that Sir Thomas should have left his sniveling, back-stabbing wife when he had the chance(s).

I enjoyed the over all story.

I came to find the character Christiana to be very selfish so therefore came to dislike her.

Gripping

I absolutely fell in love with this series, this box set is an amazing deal to get 3 books for the price of one credit! If your a fan of historical fiction then this is going to be the series for you. I love how historically accurate the series is. There is so much depth of characters as well, it’s hard to pick a favorite! I couldn’t stop listening from it being so action packed!

Excellent series well written well performed

This series was a three book set for one credit. Well worth the price. The history is well researched and the storyline is well developed and has surprises. I highly doubt commend this to anyone interested in the period.

Good tale

I read the series a few years ago and very much enjoyed listening to it this time, especially with Jackson’s narration. Character buildout is well done and it does draw you in and get you invested. I always like historical fictions that tie well to actual events and real people. Recommended.
