Summary
The new novel in Bernard Cornwell's number-one best-selling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
BBC2's major autumn 2015 TV show The Last Kingdom is based on the first two books in the series.
A fragile peace is about to be broken.... King Alfred's son, Edward, and formidable daughter, Æthelflaed, rule Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia. But all around the restless Northmen, eyeing the rich lands and wealthy churches, are mounting raids.
Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the kingdoms' greatest warrior, controls Northern Mercia from the strongly fortified city of Chester. But forces are rising up against him. Northmen allied to the Irish, led by the fierce warrior Ragnall Ivarson, are soon joined by the Northumbrians, and their strength could prove overwhelming. Despite the gathering threat, both Edward and Æthelflaed are reluctant to move out of the safety of their fortifications.
But with Uhtred's own daughter married to Ivarson's brother, who can be trusted?
In the struggle between family and loyalty, between personal ambition and political commitment, there will be no easy path. But a man with a warrior's courage may be able to find it. Such a man is Uhtred,and this may be his finest hour.

Another great story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The Warriors of the Storm is everything good about the Last Kingdom series, it's full of action and adventure and sees Uhtred moving toward his goal of recapturing Bebbanburg. At the end of the book I was left eagerly awaiting the next story in the series. This may be the best story in the series to date and is a must read if you enjoyed the rest of the series.

Another rattling good story
This is another thrilling episode in the story of Uhtred. The characters are fascinating, the setting portrayed vividly and the plot lines exciting. I love the Last Kingdom series for all these reasons.
Perhaps this book is rather more gory than some of the others and I wasn’t keen on some details. But still thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Awesome
I enjoyed this in audio book form even more than I've enjoyed the other books in the series in ebook form. Perhaps it was simply due to me not having to worry about how to pronounce some of the place names!
The only slight problem I had was that the narration struggled with some of the voices, particularly the women's.

Continuing saga that just keeps gripping you
Can't wait to discover what happens "up north"!.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book, if you haven't listened to any of the previous books I urge you to start asap.
Does Bernard Cornwell ever write anything that doesn't grab you?

average story.
the narrator has changed how he pronounces some of the characters names which is pretty annoying. The story was OK nothing really to intriguing unlike the earlier stories in this series.i think Bernard Cornwell is circling with this character. He needs to decide what he is doing with him soon.
