Publisher's Summary
Please note: This title contains explicit language
Assassin’s Creed: Gold is a stand-alone tale from the Assassin's Creed universe in which we meet Aliyah Khan, a card shark and hustler who’s been dealt a rough hand in life. Surviving through her smarts and street scams, Aliyah struggles to get by until she loses big time to a mysterious older man, Gavin Banks. Her only option to repay Banks is to become an Assassin. During her training, Banks tells Aliyah of the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars, imploring her to help him decode a secret message inscribed on an illegal form of currency during the Great Recoinage of 1696.
With a cast of characters beloved the world over by fans of the franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Gold tells a gripping tale of imminent economic collapse, featuring appearances from Warden of the Royal Mint, Isaac Newton, con artist and counterfeiter William Chaloner, blind assassin Omar Khaled and assassin trainer Rose Galloway. Equal parts adrenaline-fueled and thought-provoking, Assassin’s Creed: Gold draws a compelling parallel with the financial chaos of Isaac Newton’s 17th-century Britain and the economic uncertainty of our more recent history.
Audible’s new full-cast drama will realise the clash of the Assassins and Templars as a gripping audio thriller with lead performances from Riz Ahmed (Emmy winner, Golden Globe nominee, The Night Of, Rogue One, Four Lions), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Little Britain), Danny Wallace (BAFTA Games Award winner, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed III) and Tamara Lawrance (Corvidae, On Chesil Beach).
Performed by: Riz Ahmed, Laura Aikman, Rachel Atkins, Brian Bowles, Andrew Branch, John Chancer, Lily Donovan, Rupert Fairley, Ray Fearon, Owen Findlay, Jason Forbes, Nicholas Goh, Anthony Head, David John, Jim Johnson, Will Kelly, Tamara Lawrance, John Last, Gemma Lawrence, Nicholas le Prevost, Simon Lipson, Hayward Morse, Paul Panting, Laila Payne, Nigel Pilkington, Joseph Radcliffe, David Rintoul, Anne Rosenfeld, Jennifer Saayeng, Gyuri Sarossy, Danny Wallace and Daniel Weyman.

A fast paced theatrical tale.
A fast paced theatrical tale.
As someone who isn’t familiar with the game or books it was easy to settle into a new world.
Great portrayals of different characters.

Excellent
This was really unusual. Not a normal read more like listening to a stage play. I really like the format. The story was involving, and the cast was fantastic!

Not what I expected, but enjoyable
I've been a fan of the Assassin's Creed universe for a while, and have never enjoyed the books. This was something I'd never seen before, and it was short, so I thought I'd give it a go expecting the same quality as previous books. It was, unexpectedly, not a book at all but more of a radio play - with a full cast, sound effects, and fast pacing. It was a bit hard to follow at times - where a book would describe a scene or visual media would show it, you were left to work out where/what/how, and sometimes the pacing of the book made this very difficult - but overall enjoyable, and I appreciated that most of the main characters were POC - many of the AC universe main characters are white so it was very cool to see others given the spotlight.

The past > The present
As with every other Assassin's Creed story before it, it's the moments set in the past that make AC Gold truly shine. The modern day story was fine but I personally wanted it to end each time so I could go back to listening to the conversations between Omar and Issac Newton. Solid story and performances throughout, even though Riz Ahmed steals the show as expected!

enjoyable
loved it, as a fan of the games I can attest by saying it's not really like them at all, but that's not a bad thing. the characters are well voiced and are pretty intriguing (Omar is definitely a favourite for me and hopefully he might get introduced in the games one day) the production did a good job with sound effects as well.
overall, an enjoyable listening experience, I just wish it was a bit longer.

Second to none performances
The story, sound and voice actors are all incredible. I listened to it in 2 sittings and was engrossed the whole time. The cringey overuse of the “f” word for that edgy feel could have been toned down quite a bit though.

Surprise package
I didn’t read the blurb so was pleasantly surprised to recognise a couple of the voices which seemed to fit so well with the characters. The whole premise was entertaining from the start after the initial jolt of ‘what’s going on?’
