The year 1284 is a period of seeming peace in Scotland. It is also a time when the future of the country is being forged in the form of a young boy, 10-year-old Robert Bruce.

In the decade that follows, King Alexander dies without an heir, and Scotland falls into chaos. The potential for civil war brings a growing threat of invasion from England as Edward I, young Bruce's hero and feudal patron, develops an obsession with adding Scotland, like Wales, to England's Crown by conquest. One man with extraordinary vision and strength will unite Scotland's warring factions against the larger threat that looms beyond its borders, but to do so he will have to resolve the conflict of his own personal, feudal, and national loyalties. This is the story of the man destined to be Robert I, King of Scots.

Filled with intrigue, high adventure, and remarkable characters, The Renegade is a dazzling feat of storytelling that weaves fascinating historical detail into the drama and excitement for which Jack Whyte is renowned.

Second in the trilogy. Robert The Bruce takes centre stage. This only takes the reader to the point where he decides to defy Edward I and enters the fray, for Scottish independence, from English rule. Whyte is a tremendous storyteller.

Most excellent...

It was amazing to hear the story of young Robert the Bruce. You never hear about his first wife or his mother, other than the title she gave him. Lovely book! I can’t wait to finish the trilogy.

David Monteath’s performance is outstanding. Scottish and English accents bring realism to a complex historical account. Looking forward to the concluding book of this trilogy.

Although I didn't find this installment as good as the first, it was still enjoyable. Narration was excellent. I find the historical time frame very interesting. I definitely will listen to the third in the series as well was other Jack Whyte books.

Pretty good
