Description
Please note: This title contains explicit language
Assassin’s Creed: Gold is a stand-alone tale from the Assassin's Creed universe in which we meet Aliyah Khan, a card shark and hustler who’s been dealt a rough hand in life. Surviving through her smarts and street scams, Aliyah struggles to get by until she loses big time to a mysterious older man, Gavin Banks. Her only option to repay Banks is to become an Assassin. During her training, Banks tells Aliyah of the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars, imploring her to help him decode a secret message inscribed on an illegal form of currency during the Great Recoinage of 1696.
With a cast of characters beloved the world over by fans of the franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Gold tells a gripping tale of imminent economic collapse, featuring appearances from Warden of the Royal Mint, Isaac Newton, con artist and counterfeiter William Chaloner, blind assassin Omar Khaled and assassin trainer Rose Galloway. Equal parts adrenaline-fueled and thought-provoking, Assassin’s Creed: Gold draws a compelling parallel with the financial chaos of Isaac Newton’s 17th-century Britain and the economic uncertainty of our more recent history.
Audible’s new full-cast drama will realise the clash of the Assassins and Templars as a gripping audio thriller with lead performances from Riz Ahmed (Emmy winner, Golden Globe nominee, The Night Of, Rogue One, Four Lions), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Little Britain), Danny Wallace (BAFTA Games Award winner, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed III) and Tamara Lawrance (Corvidae, On Chesil Beach).
Performed by: Riz Ahmed, Laura Aikman, Rachel Atkins, Brian Bowles, Andrew Branch, John Chancer, Lily Donovan, Rupert Fairley, Ray Fearon, Owen Findlay, Jason Forbes, Nicholas Goh, Anthony Head, David John, Jim Johnson, Will Kelly, Tamara Lawrance, John Last, Gemma Lawrence, Nicholas le Prevost, Simon Lipson, Hayward Morse, Paul Panting, Laila Payne, Nigel Pilkington, Joseph Radcliffe, David Rintoul, Anne Rosenfeld, Jennifer Saayeng, Gyuri Sarossy, Danny Wallace and Daniel Weyman.
The making of Assassin's Creed: Gold
Born to a very poor single mother in the Brixton area of London, Aliyah has had to hustle her entire life to get ahead. She’s extremely sharp and intelligent, but quite often the chip on her shoulder about her upbringing will stop her from succeeding. Her upbringing and abandonment at the hands of her father has led her not to trust others.
One of history’s greatest thinkers, now in his 50s, Newton - brilliant, eccentric and no people skills - becomes obsessed with finding and stopping Chaloner. After embarking on this quest he realises he’s going to have to act as more than an academic and get his hands dirty. It’s a personal challenge to Newton, and his obsessive personality won’t allow him to back down.
The lead of our 1696 story, Omar was raised the blind son of a butler in London. Recruited by the Assassins at 12, he’s done a great deal that’s scarred him leading him to help society through non-violent means. But when he sees the only way to take down the great counterfeiter is by fighting violence with violence, he’s pulled back into his old ways.
Shaun is a history expert and provides research and historical context to his fellow characters in Assassin's Creed: Gold - both verbally and through his entries in the Animus database. Shaun is rather sarcastic and condescending towards his colleagues, having little patience for small talk.

Assassin’s Creed at its best!
I was very skeptical about this project initially, but since I was an Amazon Prime, I decided to use one of my free books.
What an incredible surprise this journey was! A phenomenal experience! This was legit one of the best Assassin’s Creed experiences I’ve got to enjoy for a long time! It takes me back to the golden age of AC with modern day protagonist Desmond Miles. A correct balance between Modern Day segments and Past Regressions. Superb story telling expanding lore, and impressive voice acting all around. Also accompanied by beloved music scores from the franchise, sound effects, ambiences, and of course individual character performances!
This was truly Assassin’s Creed at its best! Refreshing and a reminder of what Assassin’s Creed used to be!

be patient at the beginning .. you won't regret
sometimes .. got to be patient when a story is interupted by something less important than the main character on a mission , Omar, I almost stopped then went beyond my first impression and liked it better than expected

So Engaging!
Most of the time, I just felt like I had the TV on and I was just hearing the audio from it. This is worth every penny, and every second. I’m so upset there aren’t more!!

my first audiobook and I loved it
I'll be honest I wasn't sure what to expect. I love you sassin Creed games but I thought this might have been just someone reading a book without it being dramatized and I truly loved it and was able to listen to it within the day at work. And made my day go by so much quicker and the story was amazing. I love this to be made into a video game or even an animated series so that I can see as to how it compares with what was in my mind.
