About this listen

The time will come, as all times must, when the world will shake, and fall to dust…

1237 BC: It is an age of panic. The great empires are in disarray—ravaged by endless drought, shaken by ferocious earthquakes and starved of precious tin. Some say the Gods have abandoned mankind.

When Tudha ascends the Hittite throne, the burden of stabilising the realm falls upon his shoulders. Despite his valiant endeavours, things continue to disintegrate; allies become foes, lethal plots arise, and enemy battle horns echo across Hittite lands.

Yet this is nothing compared to the colossal, insidious shadow emerging from the west. Crawling unseen towards Tudha's collapsing Hittite world comes a force unlike any ever witnessed; an immeasurable swarm of outlanders, driven by the cruel whip of nature, spreading fire and destruction: the Sea Peoples.

Every age must end. The measure of a man is how he chooses to face it.

Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow, David Gemmell, Dan Davis and Matthew Harffy - a Bronze Age epic teeming with blood-soaked wars, haunting mysteries and far-flung adventures.

Very, very good

Bittersweet moment coming to the end of this series.

Having searched long and hard for an author who can come close to rivalling David Gemmell, I feel that Gordon Doherty achieves this with aplomb. His character building and story telling are compelling and his portrayal of the inter-relations of the primary characters and their closest comrades is a particular joy.

Jonathan Keeble's narration is simply masterful - effecting a wide range of character voices with consistency and believability.

As is often the case with series' that are so enjoyable, the only negative is that it's now over.
