About this listen

Conflict flares once more in Saxony...

March, AD 773. Bjarki Bloodhand is now Fire Born - a legendary berserker inhabited by the ferocious spirit of a bear in battle. Yet he has sworn never again to allow that sacred rage to possess him, lest he for ever lose himself in the madness like his father.

Tor Hildarsdottir yearns to save pagan Saxony from the grip of the Christian Franks, who now occupy half the region. But she also has serious problems closer to home with her fast-growing pet bear cub, Garm, and, worse, she seems to be falling in love.

Widukind, new lord of the Saxons, is on a mission to reconquer the lands of his fathers from the Franks. He will stop at nothing to win the hearts of the men and women of the North, and bind them to his cause. But will they follow the Saxon Wolf in an unwinnable war? And will Bjarki join them?

The epic second novel in the Fire Born saga, perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, and Matthew Harffy.

Critic Reviews

Compelling, disturbing, entertaining, this is a bloody riot from start to finish. In every good sense.
-- Theodore Brun, author of "A Burning Sea"

Donald has taken the legendary berserkers, those frothing-at-the-mouth shield-biters, and made them human, which once again proves that Donald is a writer not only at the top of his game, but of the game... It is a wonderful, rich and violent brew. I welcome Angus Donald to the shield wall of Viking fiction like a thirsty man welcomes a mead-brother to the feast... A tale worthy of the skalds
-- Giles Kristian, author of the "Raven" series

The Last Berserker strikes with the thundering power of Thor's hammer... rich with the earthy depth, historical detail, intrigue, violence and adventure that we expect from Donald. But it is Bjarki and Tor that make The Last Berserker stand out... Donald's masterful creations will live on in the imagination long after the final page.
-- Matthew Harffy, author of the "Bernicia" Chronicles

AWESOME! What an Adventure

I loved the first book and thought in the back of my mind, how could they top the action, adventure and greatness. The Saxon Wolf has nailed it! Ade Dimberline has a brilliant storytelling narration style and his distinct and unique character voices really bring the world to life. I love the blend of historical and fictional aspects, the battles, the mythological side. Just a really cool adventure to go on and I'll certainly be listening to this one again. Bravo to the Narrator and Writer, they have a fan for life.
