About this listen

The Fields of Death is the epic final novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Wellington and Napoleon Quartet. Essential listening for fans of Bernard Cornwell.

1809. Viscount Wellington and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte have made their mark as military commanders. Lifelong enemies, they both believe their armies are strong enough to destroy any rival. But in war victory can never be certain.

While Wellington's success continues in Spain, Napoleon feels the sting of failure. Yet despite a disastrous Russian campaign and humiliating defeat at Leipzig, he persists in fighting on.

With Napoleon's power waning, the newly titled Duke of Wellington is perfectly placed to crush the tyrant. But his enemy refuses to surrender, and so the two giants must face a final reckoning on the bloody battlefield of Waterloo....

There are 4 books in the series all as good as each other. There has been a lot of licence used with the characters, but close enough to historical accuracy as to make the series both informative as well as entertaining.

Wellington is shown as the flawed hero that history recounts. I found that I could not help both admiring and reviling Napoléon at the same time. Very well drawn characters.


An excellent listening experience.

The final book in a trio tracing the lives of Napoleon and Wellington - a wonderful and fascinating book. Certainly a" novel" with plenty of artistic license and interpretation but also an amazingly well researched historical commentary.

Tour de force, living history

I could not stop listening...it was gripping, and knowing all the time that the book was going to finish! Simon Scarrow is a brilliant author and I am now going to start the Eagles of the Empire. If they are as good as the ones I have just read, then there is a real treat waiting!

The best!

This is the third and last in the series. I have listened to them all.i was captivated from the begging of book one until the end of book three. The writing is excellent and every bit holds one’s interest. The narration is also outstanding. So many audible books are spoiled by the narration but I could not fault this one in any way!

Brilliant!
