Story
The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's Summary
Bernard Cornwell’s epic story of the making of England continues in this 11th installment in the best-selling Saxon Tales series - "[L]ike Game of Thrones, but real" (The Observer) - the basis of the hit Netflix television series The Last Kingdom.
His blood is Saxon. His heart is Viking. His battleground is England.
"Perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today" (Washington Post), Bernard Cornwell has dazzled and entertained fans and critics with his best-sellers. Of all his protagonists, however, none is as beloved as Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
And while Uhtred might have regained his family’s fortress, it seems a peaceful life is not to be - as he is under threat from both an old enemy and a new foe. The old enemy comes from Wessex, where a dynastic struggle will determine who will be the next king. And the new foe is Sköll, a Norseman, whose ambition is to be king of Northumbria and who leads a frightening army of wolf-warriors, men who fight half-crazed in the belief they are indeed wolves.
Uhtred, believing he is cursed, must fend off one enemy while he tries to destroy the other.
In this new chapter of the Saxon Tales series - a rousing adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle, as seen through the eyes of a warrior straddling two worlds - Uhtred returns to fight once again for the destiny of England.

It was Good I miss Jonathan Keeble
I enjoyed the adventure.
Fate is everything
Fate is inexorable.
The 3 spinners that woven Ulthred's life made it incredible to follow the twist and turns.
Jonathan Keeble was the best performance.
although Matt Bates is good, it is not the same.
The books with Jonathan Keeble was an incredible journey
It is the same journey and I enjoyed it but....it will never compare.

Memior of an aging warrior
As Utred has aged in the series the feebleness of injuries long healed and the tide of fate that seems to drag him along in what he refuses todo all come to a head when the battle is no longer something looked forward to, but must be done. Utred isn’t dead yet and any ersling thinking to call him old is still a fool that is too slow.

Not the End
I've been waiting for this book all year, and somehow in my head I thought it would be the last... to my relief it is just another chapter in Uhtred's life.
I thought the cadence of Matt Bates was slow and tired throughout the book, but then I thought - Uhtred is slow and tired - so the cadence was actually perfect when in context.
Many times during the book I felt like I've heard the story before - but some stories are worth hearing again so I didn't mind.
I was disappointed in the lack of participation of some of my favorite characters - but that is on me, not the author or book - I just love Uhtred the Younger and wish there was more of him in this book. Not my favorite book in the series, but it was worth the credit and a good addition to the overall series.
Just like every book in this series, I laughed, I cried, and in the end I was left wanting more Uhtred. I wish it would just go on and on...

I anticipated a beautiful ending to the Dane/Saxon tale, but I see that Mr. Bernard Cornwell still have tales to tell. I patiently awaiting for the upcoming novels. I can see two or three more novels but I am really pushing it with three. If you are a fan you will enjoy the telling of War of the Wolf. Got home and stayed in the car until it was over.

Este libro es fantástico, toda la serie es muy buena, pero este resalta. Las descripciones de los personajes, la historia, los lugares y las batallas son maravillosos. La lengua inglesa no es mi lengua materna, sin embargo el narrador hace un excelente trabajo y tiene una dicción inigualable. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
