The city of Darien stands at the weary end of a golden age. Twelve families keep order with soldiers and artefacts, spies and memories, clinging to a peace that shifts and crumbles. The people of the city endure what they cannot change. Here, amongst old feuds, a plot is hatched to kill a king. It will summon strangers to the city - Elias Post, a hunter; Tellius, an old swordsman banished from his home; Arthur, a boy who cannot speak; Daw Threefold, a chancer and gambler; Vic Deeds, who feels no guilt; and Nancy, a girl whose talent might be the undoing of them all.

Not much to get excited about here
I found this story lacking the element that gives things a bit of spice and makes you just want to listen more. The main characters seem to stumble around from one predicament to another without much reason so ultimately I did not particularly care about their fate.
There are the beginnings of some good antagonists, but just when they get going, the heros move on, pretty much unscathed.
The narrator conveyed a certain naivety for the main character, which may have been his goal, but it put me off a bit.

Gripping tale expertly written
What made the experience of listening to Corsair the most enjoyable?
The only thing that grated was the narrator who can't tell the difference between gaol and goal, otherwise it was performed very well. The story itself was so graphic we could almost be there and there was truly never a dull moment, quite exhausting! I had read the Brendan Voyage a long time ago so didn't know what to expect but knew it would be well researched and historically accurate and the depth of detail is astonishing. A very convincing and enjoyable adventure, well done Mr Severin.
