About this listen
AD 838. Deep in the forests of Wessex, Dunston's solitary existence is shattered when he stumbles on a mutilated corpse.
Accused of the murder, Dunston must clear his name and keep the dead man's daughter alive in the face of savage pursuers desperate to prevent a terrible secret from being revealed. Rushing through Wessex, Dunston will need to use all the skills of survival garnered from a lifetime in the wilderness. And if he has any hope of victory against the implacable enemies on their trail, he must confront his past - becoming the man he once was and embracing traits he had promised he would never return to. The Wolf of Wessex must hunt again; honour and duty demand it.

a MUST buy.
Enjoyed Harffy's earlier series but it ran out of puff for me (sorry) and I returned book 6. I thoroughly enjoyed the series but like a lot of good things....a little formulaic and I tired of it.
This new book and setting is fresh and new. A different tangent to most "warrior stuff" as its hero is a senior cit...but this doesn't detract one iota, it enhances the reality of life off the grid.
The author is a painter of words, his description and clear love of the times is first rate. It felt as if I was there. His numerous historical asides, behaviours, beliefs and then legal systems is utterly absorbing.
The forest lore and deep love Duncan has for his world is warm and uplifting. A joy to read/listen to and become involved.
The narrator is sublime. Perfect, a great yet unintrusive story teller.
Give me more. NOW! PLEASE!

An entertaining tale
This is a story that has been told many times in many forms. Accidental hero protects innocent victim whilst seeking the truth and avoiding the enemy.
That said... setting it in mediaeval England in the mid 800's made for an original telling and historical setting. All in all it was very entertaining and an excellent road trip listen.
The narration was very good but my only issue was that the accent used for Dunstan made him sound like Hagred from Harry Potter.
Definitely worthwhile if you like mediaeval tales of adventure...

Good story, but predictable
Good story, historical background. Well written and performance was good. Storyline and ending was predictable, follows a certain format.

Yet another riveting novel!
The author is very talented and I p
articularly appreciate the historical observations at the end of each novel.
Full mask for a brilliant narration.
