Enemy of God

By: Bernard Cornwell

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

At the end of The Winter King, Arthur fought the battle that forces unity on the warring British kingdoms and now he sets out to face the real enemy - the English (it is one of the great ironies of the Arthur stories that he should have become an English hero when, if he existed at all, he was a great war-leader who opposed the invading Sais). First, though, Merlin leads a perilous expedition into the mysterious west to retrieve a cauldron, one of the treasures of Britain - this cauldron story is almost certainly the root of the holy grail strand in the Arthur tales. The treasures of Britain, Merlin believes, will bring the old Gods onto the side of the British in their struggle against the Saxons (and the Christians, whom Merlin hates). But the treasures will also set Briton against Briton - especially as Guinevere, now Arthur's wife, wants to make a magic of her own. "Chaos was now thick across Britain, for someone had spilt the Cauldron's power and its horror threatened to engulf us all."

Great Story

Novel retelling of Arthurian legends, feels and reads like plausible historical fact. Best Arthur story since Mists of Avalon.

Excellent alternative version of Arthurian myth

The narration was excellent and well pronounced. Keeble has an uncanny way of acting many characters.

long build to climaxes

story is very entertaining and the narrator is fantastic. lots of build up in the stories before anything exciting happens but more realistic that way.

The BEST Trilogy of All Time

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!

When I read this Trilogy Back in High School I could not put it down, and till this day they are still my favorite novels of all time.

Listening with the OUTSTANDING performance by Jonathan Keeble gave me even more love for them. So many parts are heart gripping and I found myself tearing up and laughing throughout.

Bernard Cornwell's historical research and magic with words in this trilogy will always stick with me. I have and continue to recommend the Warlord Trilogy to everyone I know.

A MUST READ for anyone that enjoys Historical Fiction!!

love

i have loved listening to this series. what a great story. so glad there is more coz i dont want it to end...

Interesting historical fiction

The narration of Jonathan Keeble makes the story come alive. The writing is excellent. Fans of Bernard Cornwell will not be disappointed.

Another amazing episode in the saga

Did you read the first one? If yes, hurry up and buy this. if no, go buy that one first and then this one.

Fantastic

Can’t wait to listen to the third one!! Best Arthurian tale ever. Love how Cornwell weaves history w the story. Jonathon Keeble’s is a master at his craft - his narration is perfection.

Incredibly written and read

What a wonderful sequel to the first book! I have listened to this trilogy four times now. It is impeccably read, the part where a special person dies, the reading goes from thunderous to heartbreaking to the point I cried along with the characters....truly a wonderful book

Even better than Last Kingdom

First of all Jonathan Keeble is my new favorite narrator. There are few as good and none better. What a story teller! Is like your grandfather telling a story by a campfire.

As to the story, I love the twist on the worn out story of Arthur and the Round Table. It’s a LOT more believable and not nearly as fanciful as what we are used to. Like any good historical fiction, there are enough threads of truth to make it interesting. The more I read by Cornwall, the more I like him. I grew a bit tired of the last Kingdom after Keeble quit narrating them and gave this a try. I have not been disappointed. Can’t wait to finish #3.
