About this listen

They called him Bane the Bastard - though none said it to his face. Born of treachery, his name a curse, he grew up among the warriors of the Rigante. They valued his skills in war, but they feared the violence in his heart. And when, as a Wolfshead and Outlaw, he left Rigante lands, they breathed sighs of relief. But Bane would return, the destiny of the Rigante in his hands, the fate of the world resting on his skills with a blade.

Midnight Falcon continues the tale of the Rigante, which began in Sword in the Storm, and tells the epic story of Bane, the bastard son of Connavar the King, and his quest for vengeance in a world of blood, honour, betrayal and love.

First book of the Rigante I read.

Absolutely loved this book.
Bane and Rage are my favorite, what Rage did for Bane hits the heart strings big time.
A must read.

Great book. Bad Voice Actor.

A brilliant book but unhappy about the narrator. The narrator used some fairly shaky accents and to compensate became shrill and increased the volume dramatically. I found myself constantly having to turn the volume up and down. It really limited my enjoyment of the book.

As a duology, Sword in the Storm and Midnight Falcon are Gemmell's best work. Andoh does a passable job with the narration.

Action Packed

Another great action-packed novel, written by David Gemmel. I really enjoyed this novel it had me on the edge of my seat at times. The performance by Adjoa Andoh was excellent.

Books like this are why I love fantasy. It was easy to become emotionally invested in. I will return to this masterpiece again and again.

Amazing book

A friend recommended me to this book so I was not expecting too much. But once I started I could not stop! Good character development, you will be drawn into the story and want to know what will happen next! Easily emotionally invested in the story, want so much more books about Con! Nice narration.

Rigante Never Lets You Down

A sterling addition to the Author's best written work.

The Stone accents were again a little grating but the power of the story shone through.
