Synopsis

'Alfred of Wessex, Book Two: Vengeance' is the second book in the Alfred of Wessex trilogy of historical novels.

"A fantastic follow up from the first in the trilogy." "Excellent read, finished in 3 days." "5* at least. Excellent book as well as part 1."

'Alfred of Wessex, Book Two: Vengeance' continues the story of the King of Anglo-Saxon Wessex who would later be known as ‘Alfred the Great’.

Wessex has survived one invasion by the Danes but the next one could be decisive. And yet Wessex remains divided by rivalries and intrigue.

The action moves across Wessex from Wiltshire to Wareham in Dorset, then to Exeter in Devon and on to Bath in Somerset, bringing alive Anglo-Saxon times. Alfred of Wessex is historical fiction but is firmly based around real events in Anglo-Saxon Wessex during the 9th century viking wars.

Reader review: “Brilliant read. I really enjoyed reading this, I couldn’t put it down even when I needed to go to bed or be part of the real world! It is a fantastic follow up from the first in the trilogy.”
Reader review: “Great Expectations. I came to Mr Carden’s 2nd book in his Alfred of Wessex series with, & forgive me, great expectations! Was I disappointed? I enjoyed Book One, & I feasted on this. I love the history, the fact & the fiction, & the knowledge & writing skill of this author. He blends and he crafts & is fast becoming one of my favourite historical fiction writers, but for me has established the number one spot of all the writers I have read (& they are numerous) of this period of English history & certainly those that feature the iconic Alfred, King of Wessex.”
Reader review: “What a great read. Made you feel as if you were with Alfred as part of his bodyguard. Although vast parts of the story were added too by author it was very well written. Hope there are more from this brilliant author.”
Reader review: “Thrilling. After reading book 1, which left me wanting more, I purchased book 2 and spent the first night awake all night reading it. Now finished, and SO looking forward to book 3 when printed. The story line keeps you gripped and wanting more. Most definitely worth the purchase.”
Reader review: “A cracking book, you have done it again.”
Reader review: “Excellent read, finished in 3 days!!”
Reader review: “I’ve just finished Vengeance. Loved these books , I was able to immerse myself into the stories as live in ‘Wessex’. Looking forward to book 3 in the near future.”
Reader review: “5* at least. Excellent book as well as part 1. Awaiting book 3”
Reader review: “Have just finished both books so enjoyed reading them.”
Reader review: “Well, what can I say? Bought book 1 started reading end of January. Book 2 bought and read already. Couldn’t hardly put them down. 1 month to read both books is a miracle for me, usually takes me 2-3 months to read a book!! Keep up the good work Mike.”

'Book Two: Vengeance' follows on from 'Alfred of Wessex, Book One: Inheritance' and the trilogy is completed by 'Book Three: Resistance'.
