About this listen
'I have broken my vows. I have murdered innocents. I have trod down the soil over their dead face with my bare heels, and only the moon as witness. I have loved a woman and she ruined me. I have loved a king and yet I ruined him.'
The year is 937. England is a nation divided, ruled by minor kings and Viking lords. Each vies for land and power. The Wessex king Æthelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, is readying himself to throw a spear into the north. Behind him stands Dunstan, the man who will control the destiny of the next seven kings of England and the fate of an entire nation. Welcome to the original game for the English throne.

Master storyteller
I knew nothing of Dunstan when I read this book, Conn Igguldun brought his character and those around him to life in a tale that had me mesmerised from start to finish. The narration was wonderful too, seamless as he switched from character to character. I have read many of Conn Igguldun's books and it is always a pleasure.

A sweeping story of an extraordinary life
The story of an extraordinary man, with unusual talents. The book anchors around historical fact, but fills in the details where they are not recorded. I appreciate how the author captures the characters and attitudes of a relatively little understood period. While the story takes its time, it is well worth listening to this gripping saga, if you have the time.

Excellent performance and enthralling book.
A fascinating tale. Really well researched and retold. Narrator's style was perfect, he bought Dunstan alive.

Very entertaining.
Have listened to a number of the authors books which are usually very good in the historical fiction genre. Although, can’t say lord of the bow series was of the same quality. This one I think is one of his best. Good narration, sensational characters.

Fascinating story and wonderful narration
Knew nothing of this era, but the story was so interesting and I just wanted to keep listening. Later I found myself researching more about that time and will look for more stories of the era.
The narration was fabulous and faultless for me. I went on to look for other books by the same narrator - and by the same author.
Highly recommend.

Can Conn do no wrong
Even when I’m struggle to find something to listen to I only have to find something from Conn and I’m set.
Dunstan is a great story about a remarkable man in a remarkable time. Conn is able to build a character that is both extraordinary and yet deeply flawed but completely loveable, shaping his story around the destiny of England.
Definitely worth a read.

Historical Fantasy
I've read (and listened to) several books by Con Iggulden and I've enjoyed all of them. That's the reason I purchased Dunstan. Unfortunately this book isn't very good. It's supposed to be historical fiction but it's more like historical fantasy. It's awful and I couldn't finish it (I tried twice). I expected better from this author.
