About this listen

They called him Bane the Bastard - though none said it to his face. Born of treachery, his name a curse, he grew up among the warriors of the Rigante. They valued his skills in war, but they feared the violence in his heart. And when, as a Wolfshead and Outlaw, he left Rigante lands, they breathed sighs of relief. But Bane would return, the destiny of the Rigante in his hands, the fate of the world resting on his skills with a blade.

Midnight Falcon continues the tale of the Rigante, which began in Sword in the Storm, and tells the epic story of Bane, the bastard son of Connavar the King, and his quest for vengeance in a world of blood, honour, betrayal and love.

Amazing book!

I didn’t think that I could love anyone more than the first books main character Conaver. However, Gemmell brings you into to love this books main character Bane. It’s a amazing series!

Classic

Gemmell is right up there with Tolkien, and the Rigante series is his masterwork in my opinion

The narration is usually good, but some of her character interpretations are truly awful. Particularly Bane who sounds downright comical.

A Great classic

I read this book back in the 90s and enjoyed it very much. The audio version brought it to life in ways that I truly enjoyed.

The Midnight Falcon

As was the first Book of this series, (The Sword in the Storm) The Midnight Falcon, was amazing. David Gemmell is one of a kind in his story telling, creating characters it is impossible not to know personally. After reading the series twice, hearing in on audible, narrated by Arjona Andoh, my family and I sat together and entered the world created by David Gemmell unable to stop. A wonderful book, narrated perfectly.
