Wolf of Wessex

De: Matthew Harffy

Narrado por: Barnaby Edwards

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.

Outstanding in every respect

I am an avid reader of historical fiction, devourer more like. As a senior citizen myself, I found the protagonist extraordinarily compelling and anxiously await the next installment. The author really knows how to spin a tale and the narrator breathes life into the yarn like a bellows breathing life into a smith's forge. Bottom line - captivating storyline narrated in captivating fashion. For me, it doesn't get much better than this. Two thumbs (and 8 fingers) way up.

Solid writing, Solid performance.

I love a good Viking Age story, regardless of whether Vikings are directly involved or not. This is truly a great view of Saxon society without the same Viking point of view. The performance of the reader was top tier, and they really kept you locked onto every word. Each character was brought to life due to the reader providing each with their own voice. overall 10 out of 10!

Odin Rules

Wolf of Wessex by author Matthew Harffy is a really entertaining murder story about commoners rather than nobles. Interesting characters. Specially Odin. DRmz 10-22-24

I really needed this

What a wonderful book! I had this in my wish list for some time and for some reason hesitated to jump on it. Boy am I glad I did. A wonderful stand alone story. I thoroughly enjoyed the protagonist as well. And the narrator really made it come alive. Very happy.

good books

It was interesting and kept my attention I will read another book if it comes out.

A Great Read

The storyline is well conceived if maybe a bit predictable. I was looking for a book that was enjoyable and uplifting and Wolf of Wessex filled the bill. I'll be reading more from Matthew Harffy.

Love it!!!!

Looking forward to listening to more books from this author. Great story and love the history behind it.

Good listen

This is a good listen and pretty straight forward adventure tale. I like how the characters are distinctly different from Beibrand in his more well known series. Can’t say I think it’s Harffys best work (the plot felt like something I’d read before) but there’s potential since there seems there will be sequels and if you’ve enjoyed his other books you’ll surely enjoy this one too.

Wonderful!

I'm a fan of Harrify. I also really enjoy listening to this narrator, he does an excellent job. Overall I enjoyed this story and recommend it.

Harffy at his best

Really enjoyed this excellent novel. Great plot and historically fascinating. And a great performance. Superb!
