The Drenai King is dead - murdered by a ruthless assassin. Enemy troops swarm into Drenai lands. Their orders are simple - kill every man, woman and child. But there is hope.

Stalked by men who act like beasts and beasts that walk like men, the warrior Waylander must journey into the shadow-haunted lands of the Nadir to find the legendary Armour of Bronze. With this he can turn the tide. But can he be trusted? For he is Waylander the Slayer. The traitor who killed the King...

Im a epic fantasy and audiobook addict but I can't seem to enjoy female narrators nor most American male readers, try as I might. Fortunately, Tim Gerard Reynolds, Simon Vance and Michael Kramer read a ton of fantasy sagas but Im down to slim pickens. i was delighted to stumble onto both the waylander series and Sean Barrett. i just finished brian lee durfees blackest heart which is amazing but about the goriest book ive every read. it is a nightmare yet i couldn't put it down. what do you read after a book like that??? well waylander was perfect! there is so much depth, intregue and magic- my favorite part of fantasy! i liked that as terrible as the characters were, they also haveb some good in them, often much to their own shagrin. i need that right now with our current state of the union. there was hopelessness but it wasn't angsty and infuriating! i never felt hatred because the good guys that while flawed and in pearel, had faith and that made me expect triumph. don't get me wrong, heroes will die, but none the less i found the story generally uplifting.
the narrator has such a conversational flare with dialogue and his voice is both soothing and authoritative. i loved listening to him! this is a wonderful book and I'm so glad their are many more to come! please forgive my typos and lack of capitalization. writing from my phone.

Finally, another fantasy narrator & series 2 love

I've probably listened to the entire book 10x at least. Never grows old or stale. Exciting story, memorable characters. If Gemmell was still alive would beg him to resurrect Waylander somehow to continue his adventures. Brilliant read by Barrett. So many voices and maintains the drama and suspense.

timeless stories

Finally found what I consider a great story. The narrator has a voice that just adds to the overall story to almost bring it to life. I'm looking for more of thin combination as soon as I finish this.

masterful narration and a really good book.

Waylander is a great character, classic anti-hero. All the characters are well written. It’s funny, surprising, with expertly interwoven threads. Strongly Recommend.

David Gemmell is the one of the best ever

I have read Gemmell books for years now over and over again. I even listened to the original CD's back in the day! These are EPIC novels that are so well done and timeless. The Drenai and the Reganti books are my favorite ones. I do plan to buy all my favorite books and have a lot to look forward to. Oh, I have collected most of his books in paper back over the years so there is no worries about buying these if you love EPIC Fighting/swords/monsters/honorable stories!

I have been waiting for these books!!!!!

If you like his other books you’ll most likely enjoy this one. The main character is heroic and independent, like a Clint Eastwood character. There’s plenty of fast-paced fight scenes. And there is a happy ending.

Not much to say here. But this is a simply great story. The way things for through this book I was never bored, and did not find myself rolling my eyes at any point.

simply great
