Publisher's Summary:
David loves his sons. The last thing he expects is that they will topple him from the throne. Who among them will remain by his side? Who will be not only loyal, but also eager to continue his legacy?
For now, David remains silent, even as Amnon rapes Tamar, even as Absalom lures Amnon to his death. In families other than his, such crimes may be concealed. But when they occur in the king's family, they affect matters of the state, and result in his escape from the son he adores. Will he find a way to quell the revolt and come back to the City of David?
This is book III of the trilogy The David Chronicles, told candidly by the king himself. David uses modern language, indicating that this is no fairy tale. Rather, it is a story that is happening here and now. If you like ancient historical fiction about court intrigue, this King David novel has a modern twist like no audiobook you have heard before.

The Life of Biblical King David comes to climax
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I recommend this to everyone who has enjoyed audio-books such as I, the Sun, or The Sacred Band; to anyone in fact, who loves the ancient world and years for stories that bring those days to life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Edge of Revolt?
As David grows and ages, he is trapped into yet another wear, one in which he cannot protect his children nor, truly, the empire to which he's dedicated his life.
Have you listened to any of Bob Sterrys other performances before? How does this one compare?
Bob Sterry's unerring ear brings the story an extra measure of reality through his deft pronunciations.

The ending, but I won't spoil it for you, except to say this book has a conclusion you will always remember.

A Father's Love Never Changes
This book takes the listener back in time to the Biblical days of Kings and Queens and war among family members. King David has several children by several different wives. Back then a King could do whatever he wanted. He ruled the land wisely but was not so wise when it came to his sons.
This book made me realize that some things in life never change...many of the issues in this book such as incest and murder are still around today and will always be around.
I enjoyed the narrator's voice and the manner in which he spoke. I've always enjoyed how people conversed back in those days--such proper English.
I appreciate receiving this book in exchange for a review.
This was a gripping story and quite shocking in some parts but overall I totally enjoyed being brought back in time to this era.
A literary gem!
Ive always enjoyed books by Uvi Poznansky, they are inevitably written with great skill and literary charm. This story is no exception. What astounds me about this series, however, is the amount of incredible research needed to pull off such a feat.
How Ms. Poznansky created such a vivid, detailed, true-to-life account leaves me awestruck. Its as if she peered inside the Bible, spoke with the characters and witnesses who were there, and then created a realistic and moving portrait of Davids life.
I listened to the audiobook version of this title, and was delighted with the quality and variety of the narrators character voices.
