About this listen

It is the year 2010. Her Divine Majesty, Queen Elizabeth XXX sits upon the throne. Great Britain’s vast Empire is run by alchemy and superstition. Now Sir Rupert Triumff, dashing swordsman, has uncovered a vile plot to dethrone her glorious majesty. For the honour of the nation: to arms! Multi-million selling author Dan Abnett whips up a furious maelstrom of incredible swordfights, wild invention and truly outrageous jokes.

Critic reviews

" Triumff is a witch’s brew of alternate history, hocus pocus, cracking action and cheesy gags. Reads like Blackadder crossed with Neal Stephenson. It’s a Kind of Magick – don't miss it.” (Stephen Baxter, esq.)
“Endlessly inventive, joyously irreverent, drenched with adrenaline and wicked humour, Dan Abnett’s Triumff: Her Majesty’s Hero is a brilliant occult-comedy-historical-adventure that’s true to the best traditions of the genres it so eagerly devours.” (Mike Carey, esq.)

Blackadder meets Discworld, really entertaining

Good plot, An alternative England and swashbuckling hero, sprinkled with magic and action. Good narrator.

Absolute Triumph!

Wonderfully inventive both in terms of setting and story, with playful narrative and description. Add to this the witty and inventive dialogue, and you have a truly delightful story that deserves a lot of attention and respect. The performance of the narrator is to be highly commended, thoroughly committed to every nuance of the text. I can't recommend this enough! Desperately waiting for an encore!

A workman like performance with a funny story unde

The reader is more professional than inspiring but he gets the job done without getting in the way of the story. He does well with the pace of his reading and has enough voices to go around although if you have listened to other books read by him you will notice the same voices come round again. It lead to some funny moments where I thought what is the DG from Len Deightons Berlin game doing in a funny fantasy book about an alternative Elizabethan London.

The story itself is fun, I laughed a lot especially in the first quarter of the book. The author draws on a lot of the same lines as Terry Prattchet. If you’ve just come off a Disc World binge and need something to help the come down I would recommend this. Although it does stand up as a its own thing.

brilliantly done

truth be told I struggled at the start. some of the wording was difficult to understand. However perseverance won the day and I have actually listened to it multiple times. the narrator is simply fantastic and the story amazing. It presents an alternative magic fueled England with wit action and a gripping story

Really not sure

Would you try another book written by Dan Abnett or narrated by Simon Vance?

Dan is normally a fabulous writer and I really enjoy his style, however the audio effects on this book make it difficult for me to relax while listening. It's pretty jarring. It's a shame because I'm sure it's a great story, like all of his works, but I can't get past the first chapter without all my nerves being on edge. Sorry Audible, but I think you broke this one.
