About this listen

Victory, betrayal and revenge. "I heartily recommend this very readable and enjoyable journey into the England's history and look forward with great anticipation to the next volume in the series." The year is 1069. The Norman invaders are stealing the land of the English people, building castles to subdue them and relentlessly making a once free people into serfs. But the English will not submit. Armed resistance flares across the land. Yet, to become effective, it needs a leader who can unite the nation. That leader is Edgar Atheling, heir of Alfred the Great, a young man born to be king. Edgar knows he must defeat William the Conqueror, a ruthless leader and formidable foe. But can a 17 year old boy with an ill-equipped army challenge the Conqueror for his birthright, the throne of England? Edgar's one hope of victory is to forge an alliance with England's ancient Viking enemies and pray that the rest of his people rise up in support. "Triumph and Catastrophe tells how the agony of war shapes and matures Edgar and how he learns to inspire loyalty from his allies and respect even from his enemies." ""Every bit as good as its prequel, The Flame of Resistance. Don't be put off if you don't like history. This story will appeal to anyone, whether interested in history or not." Triumph and Catastrophe is book 2 of 'The Lost King' series. It is a fast-moving story of how a young boy comes of age in a time of victory, betrayal and revenge.
