Synopsis

'Alfred of Wessex, Book Three: Resistance' is the third book in the Alfred of Wessex trilogy of historical novels.

"Enjoying every minute, thank you." "Just finished book 3, fantastic throughout!" "On book 3. Enjoying all!! Thank you Mr. Carden."

With every other Anglo-Saxon Kingdom defeated by the Danes, once again Wessex is invaded and this time it could be final. Are there Saxons prepared to accept the conquering army? Will more vikings pounce on a seemingly defeated Wessex? Can Alfred's resistance to the Danes succeed?

The action moves across Wessex, with Alfred on the run until the last battle that will decided the fate of the Kingdom.

Alfred of Wessex is historical fiction but is firmly based around real events in Anglo-Saxon Wessex during the 9th century viking wars of Alfred the Great.

Reader review: "Excellent fictional account of Alfred the Great"
Reader review: "Fantastic trilogy."
Reader review: "Finished the third one; VERY good series"
Reader review: "Many historical novels of the Anglo-Saxon period have a tendency to be gritty stories of battle after battle. But not this one. Carden's trilogy is filled with human interest, the warp and woof of human relationships, deep questioning on the part of the hero, Alfred. Yes, of course there are battles and sieges, but these are well drawn in the mind, and whilst they are tent poles for the story, the underlying narrative drives that story onwards. I have read all three books in something under a week, and am grateful to Carden for painting a vivid and engaging portrayal of what might well have been the kingly rule of Alfred."

'Resistance' follows on from 'Alfred of Wessex, Book One: Inheritance' and 'Book Two: Vengeance'.
