À propos de cet audio

 'Full of invention and ingenuity . . . Great fun' - SFX

'Parker's settings and characterisations never miss a beat' - Publishers Weekly

K. J. Parker's new novel is the remarkable tale of the siege of a walled city, and the even more remarkable man who had to defend it.

A siege is approaching, and the city has little time to prepare. The people have no food and no weapons, and the enemy has sworn to slaughter them all.

To save the city will take a miracle, but what it has is Orhan. A colonel of engineers, Orhan has far more experience with bridge-building than battles, is a cheat and a liar, and has a serious problem with authority. He is, in other words, perfect for the job.

Sixteen Ways To Defend a Walled City is the story of Orhan, son of Siyyah Doctus Felix Praeclarissimus, and his history of the Great Siege, written down so that the deeds and sufferings of great men may never be forgotten.

Parker's acerbic wit and knowledge of human nature are a delight to read (RT BOOK REVIEWS)

The narrator was very good and the main character was very fun to follow. Overall a good listen if you are into the medieval setting.

Enjoyable

The way the book is written is fantastic. The bias and commentary really makes this great.
The voice acting for females is not fantastic, I got them confused as male characters sometimes. The audio also glitches out on the rare occasion, but not enough to be a nuisance or affect the story in any way.

All in all, no regrets getting this book.

A Phenominal 1st person telling.
