About this listen

Best-selling author Bernard Cornwell received national acclaim for the historical drama of his Civil War series, the Starbuck Chronicles, which includes Rebel, Copperhead, and Battle Flag. Now, in Stonehenge, he creates a dramatic saga of one of greatest wonders of the ancient world.

Four thousand years ago, three brothers grow up in a land that is now Britain. One becomes a warrior, ruthless in his pursuit of gold and power. One is a mystic who sees visions of the future and hears the gods speak to him. Between them stands Sagan, the gentle brother who will dedicate his life to building a temple he hopes will bring health and peace to the land. As the giant stones are moved into their sacred pattern, Bernard Cornwell draws the listener into the conflicts of brother against brother, men against gods. Narrator George Guidall’s performance brings forth a world filled with the sights and sounds of bronze-age life.

I’ve read the Saxon Tales, Archer Tales, Sharpe, and the Rebel series. Every book stands on its own as a great read. Stone Henge is no different.

Never disappointing

This was an interesting tale, but you can tell it was one of his older works.

Not what I was expecting.

I think I’m just a little more used to historically correct fiction coming from this author. In this example, we have preponderance of fiction laced in with the mythological. I was hoping to learn more about Stonehenge. However, I think Stonehenge is a mystery to everyone.

I am a huge Bernard Cronwell fan but this one was not one of my favorites

I have never read historical fiction based in a time so long ago. This story, based on one of the most fascinating prehistoric landmarks in Europe, had me captivated from the start. I have always enjoyed the storytelling of Bernard Cornwell, and this one meant all my expectations. George Guidall’s narration was superb. I hope to hear more from him in the future. I highly recommend!

Enthralling!

I finished this one just because I have enjoyed his other books and devoroued the different series one after another. I struggled to have any feelings for any of the characters. I just kept hoping it would either get better or end, it ended before getting better.

Slow character development and unsatisfactory endi

Wonderful book. I love everything Bernard Cornwell writes but this one is special and unique for sure. Any lover of history will love this book!

One of my favorites

I've visited the stones of Stonehenge up close, Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill, the Preseli Hills in Wales, and other standing stone-related sites to get as close as possible to these landmarks in person.

I'm also fan of quality historical fiction.

I love this book.

I am bewildered by the negative reviews of the book itself and of George Guidall's reading of it. Both are first-rate. Characters are drawn compellingly and the tale is captivating and plausible. I also enjoyed Cornwell's commentary at the end about the historical/archaeological basis for the book.

I can't but help if many of the negative or "meh" reviews come from those who expect this to be just like Cornwell's other books, which it isn't. If you take it for what it is -- a well-grounded but speculative tale of 2000 BC -- you'll have better luck I think.

Brilliant!
