About this listen
Legends aren't born. They're forged.
Dug Sealskinner is a down-on-his-luck mercenary travelling south to join up with King Zadar's army. But he keeps rescuing the wrong people. First, Spring, a child he finds scavenging on the battlefield, and then Lowa, one of Zadar's most fearsome warriors, who's vowed revenge on the king for her sister's execution.
Now Dug's on the wrong side of that thousands-strong army he hoped to join - and worse, Zadar has bloodthirsty druid magic on his side. All Dug has is his war hammer, one rescued child, and one unpredictable, highly-trained warrior with a lust for revenge that's going to get them all killed.... It's a glorious day to die.

Awesome first book of a trilogy, I can't wait to get the next one. Excellent narration, good humour, good story, characters I could invest in emotionally, I loved it from the first page to the last!

a wonderful story of medieval Britain..
i started off on the fence on this one..
early on in the book, the pace of introducing new characters left me unsure who was who
but it eventually finds its feet, delivering a suspense filled drama around the fear of Rome arriving and who will rule in their time of invasion.

Very listenable.
Very good fare, without being great. As a fan of sword and sandals novels this novel is very much better than most. I am not into fantasy (as a teen, yes) and whilst the novel is infused with fantasy elements they are not overly unbelievable and are perhaps elemental in the age of Druid's.
The narrator is excellent as always and a delight to listen too.
One criticism is that with 112 chapters it can be hard to follow particulary with so many characters and there "out there" names. The novel stutters too quickly between scenes and the climax seems to be left too raw before the next chapter. The fight scenes are perhaps a little stunted and brief. Iggulden, Mr Watson is not, but he makes a very good attempt..
I will read more of his work as the period fascinates me, the story is intriguing and the narrator sublime.

Brilliant
As a bit of an ancient history buff, this book even though not a history book really got me invested.
Dry humour had me in fits of laughter, passers by must have thought me crazy😂.
I am loving this series, the narrator is definitely the icing on the cake in the way he brings it to life.👍👍👍

Well worth a read!
What made the experience of listening to Age of Iron the most enjoyable?
Great story, well told with likeable characters. I also liked the thought of incorporating historical elements, that had been researched, into a fantasy yarn.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Doug!! Badger's balls!! Great phrases!!
Have you listened to any of Sean Barrett’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Top of my list as a story teller! Brilliant voice for audio books!! I look for books narrated by this guy as an indicator of what might be a good story. Haven't been disappointed so far.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely - and it kept my attention throughout.
Any additional comments?
About to download the other two in the series.

Awesome
I haven't even finished the first book but rushed and bought the next 2 parts.
A great mix of history, adventure and humour.
