About this listen

Anthony Price ingeniously combines the machinations of British Intelligence with the legend of King Arthur in an extraordinary thriller that crackles with suspense from start to finish.

A US Air Force plane mysteriously vanishes on a flight from its base in Britain, and its ace pilot with it. The CIA investigates the missing pilot, and makes some odd findings; findings that will take British intelligence officer David Audley back to the sixth century in an absorbing battle of wits with the Soviet secret police.

Anthony Price is the author of 19 novels featuring Dr David Audley and Colonel Jack Butler, which focus on a group of counter-intelligence agents. Approximately 20 years elapse between the first and last novel in the series, and most of the plots are connected with one or more important events in military history.

The first three novels were adapted into a six-part BBC TV drama in the 1980s, and The Labyrinth Makers and Other Paths to Glory have both been produced as BBC radio dramas. All 19 titles will be reissued in e-book format through Orion’s ‘The Murder Room’ project.

Camelot meets the Cold War

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would. This is one in a long series with regular characters but each books stands alone. This book does take a while to get going but once it did I found the tension almost unbearable and I had to listen long into the night to finish it. The first part does consist of a lot of talk about King Arthur and the legends that surround him and research into him but it all hangs together well and by the end I knew that as usual Price hadn't wasted a word.

What did you like best about this story?

This book has a magnificent interrogation scene with constantly shifting ground. I thought it was superb.

What about Simon Schatzberger’s performance did you like?

I generally like his narration and his gentle, almost languid, delivery suits the tone of Price's books really well. However, this is not my favourite amongst his performances of Price's books and I have listened to many of them. There is a lot of dialogue between American characters and I didn't feel he was quite comfortable with that. I would still give it four stars though.

Any additional comments?

Every now and again I come across a piece of writing that is so good it's exhilarating and the denouement to this novel is one.

difficult cult to follow

the narrator failed to bring the story to life but as the so called plot was confusing & convoluted that was not entirely his fault. Good Audible to sleep through .
