Story
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Wolf of the North: It has been generations since the Northlands have seen a hero worthy of the title. Many have made the claim, but few have lived to defend it. Timid, weak, and bullied, Wulfric is as unlikely a candidate as there could be. Jorundyr's Path: Jorundyr's Path is walked only by the brave. As Wulfric pursues Adalhaid's Blood Debt, he soon learns that the path to revenge is never easy. The Blood Debt: A blade fit for a hero. An army for a tyrant. A reckoning long awaited, and a tale reaching its end.

Story
The first novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Roman series. It is 42 AD, and Quintus Licinius Cato has just arrived in Germany as a new recruit to the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. If adjusting to the rigours of military life isn't difficult enough for the bookish young man, he also has to contend with the disgust of his colleagues when, because of his imperial connections, he is appointed a rank above them.

Publisher's Summary
Enter a world where bloody battles and heroic deeds combine in the historic struggle to unite Britain in the face of a common enemy. The third instalment in Bernard Cornwell's King Alfred series, follows on from the outstanding previous novels The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman.
The year is 878 and the Vikings have been thrown out of Wessex. Uhtred, fresh from fighting for Alfred in the battle to free Wessex, travels north to seek revenge for his father's death, killed in a bloody raid by Uhtred's old enemy, renegade Danish lord, Kjartan.
While Kjartan lurks in his formidable stronghold of Dunholm, the north is overrun by chaos, rebellion and fear. Together with a small band of warriors, Uhtred plans his attack on his enemy, revenge fuelling his anger, resolute on bloody retribution. But, he finds himself betrayed and ends up on a desperate slave voyage to Iceland. Rescued by a remarkable alliance of old friends and enemies, he and his allies, together with Alfred the Great, are free to fight once more in a battle for power, glory and honour.
The Lords of the North is a tale of England's making, a powerful story of betrayal, struggle and romance, set in an England torn apart by turmoil and upheaval.
What the critics say
Praise for The Lords of the North:
"Beautifully crafted story-telling, complete with splendid set-piece battles and relentless derring-do, so gripping that it rarely stops to catch a breath. It demonstrates once again Cornwell's enormous skill as a historical narrator. He would have graced Alfred's court entertaining the guests with his stories." (Daily Mail)
"Cornwell takes the spectres of ninth century history and puts flesh back on their bones. Here is Alfred's world restored - impeccably researched and illuminated with the colour and passion of a master storyteller." (Justin Pollard, author of Alfred the Great)
Praise for Bernard Cornwell:
"Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation." (Daily Mail)
"Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched." (Observer)

Greatest series ever
The Lords of the North takes off where the last book left off. It’s important to start from book one The Last Kingdom. It is worth listening to the whole series. There is thirteen books altogether. This is one of the best stories I’ve ever listen to. I am on book six now .

I could continue listening for days
A most excellent narrator. I enjoy him bring this story to life. The different accents that he uses are just perfect and add to the magic of his storytelling. Books like these needs someone like Mr. Keeble to put life into each scene. Awesomely done!

In Love with this Series
I hang on every word in this series and love the narration by Jonathan Keeble with one exception, his depiction of female characters. He makes even the most strong female character sound weak and feeble. It's incredibly frustrating and embarrassing to listen to as a woman. He has so many wonderful male voices therefore I can't understand why he continues to narrate women in such a way.
Normally, I tend to get bored after long battle scenes but not as Bernard Cornwell has written them, I want to hear more and learn more. I feel the fear, battle rage and joy right along with the characters.

Compelling historical fiction
Cornwell's series provides the perfect balance of fact with fiction. The characters move through the historically determined plot with depth and personality, and not merely as place holders. The performance is also superb. The characterization is subtle but effective.

Jonathan Keeble is the best!
Excellent story told by one of the best narrators out there. Jonathan Keeble is exactly how I imagine Uhtred sounding. Best version out there.

Book 3 of 13 and an excellent tale.
So far this series of the last Kingdoms is amazingly well performed and it truly brings life to the series, the only thing holding me back on giving it a perfect review is that it does not include the 'historical note' portion that is a staple of all Bernard Cornwells works.
