..you will be deeply disappointed in this one. Jamie Glover can't hold a candle to Tom Sellwood, the reader of The Last Kingdom, and this abridged version of The Pale Horseman has been edited with a meat cleaver to the point that all of the interesting characters have been squeezed out of the story and you're left with the bare narrative of a mini-novel. I will not continue with HarperAudio's very poor rendering of these great novels, but will actually have to sit down to read them. I recommend that you listen to Tom Sellwood's unabridged reading of The Last Kingdom and STOP THERE!
