À propos de cet audio
Larry Correia's best-selling epic fantasy series, Saga of the Forgotten Warrior, continues.
Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. As a Protector, he devoted his life to upholding the Law, rooting out those who still practiced the old ways and delivering swift justice with his ancestor blade Angruvadal. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. His brutality was legendary and celebrated.
But soon Ashok learned that his life to that point had been a lie. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. He had been nothing more than an unwitting pawn in a political game. His world turned upside down, and finding himself on the wrong side of the Law, he began a campaign of rebellion, war, and destruction unlike any Lok had ever seen.
Thera had been first daughter of Vane. A member of the Warrior Order, she had spent her life training for combat. Until a strange sight in the heavens appeared one day. Thera was struck by lighting, and from that day forward, she heard the Voice. A reluctant prophet with the power to see into the future, she fought alongside Ashok Vadal and his company of men known as the Sons of the Black Sword, until a shape-shifting wizard with designs on her powers of precognition spirited her away. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins.
Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword march to rescue Thera. With his sword Angruvadal, Ashok was unstoppable. But Angruvadal is gone, shattered to pieces on the demon-possessed husk of a warrior. Now, Ashok must fight without the aid of the magic blade for the first time. Thera’s life depends on it. But there is much more at risk in the continent of Lok. Strange forces are working behind the scenes.
Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword are caught up in a game they do not fully understand, with powerful forces allied against them. Ashok no longer knows what to believe. He is beginning to think perhaps the gods really do exist. If so, he’s warned them to stay out of his way. They would do well to listen.
About House of Assassins: “Correia piles on the intrigue, action, and cliffhangers in the invigorating second Saga of the Forgotten Warrior epic fantasy.... Correia also weaves in elements that question the value of belief and the cost of giving authority to those who find more profit in preying on the weak.... Brisk fight scenes, lively characters, and plenty of black humor continue to make this series a real pleasure.” (Publishers Weekly)
Larry Correia is the creator of The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times best-selling Monster Hunter series, as well as urban fantasy hard-boiled adventure saga the Grimnoir Chronicles and epic fantasy series The Saga of the Forgotten Warrior.

After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since, the land has belonged to man, and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated.

Tonight the city is on edge, a hive of hurried, sometimes violent activity; its citizens bustle about, barring doors, shuttering windows, avoiding any stranger's stare. Because tonight there is to be a convergence, the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon - an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker things....

Benny White had been having a rough couple of years, and the approaching apocalypse wasn’t exactly helping. Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate. But hey, it's not all bad news. Benny’s experience as a lab tech grants him a rare Splicer Class that lets him repurpose the genetic material of slain enemies into augments for himself.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

About the Creator
Fantastic
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
1. Former Protector and now General of the growing 'Sons Of The Black Sword' movement Ashok/'Fol' [along with some fascinating fellow rebels.. including religiously fanatical "Keeper of Names" Keta (Casteless); aggressively principled Jagdish (Warrior caste); and hulking money-hungry magic-sensing Gutch (Worker caste)] fights his way across the continent of Lok to rescue 'The Prophet'.
2. Said prophet Thera - in captivity with the assassin/wizards of the "Lost House" since the end of Book One - learns that she manifests a previously unknown type of magic (requiring neither Black Steel nor Demon Bone) and reminisces about her mysterious past through enlightening nicely-timed flashbacks.
..and..
3. First Caste Librarian Rada (accompanied by enigmatic Protector Karno at the insistence of his boss and Rada's lover, "High Protector" Devedas) uncovers the plot to commit Genocide on the casteless.. all while dodging the murderous Inquisitors.
Despite the complexity of the narrative, Correia meets his Book Two world-building mandate and advances the plot capably. He's guilty of a bit of over-the-top theatricality, but deficiencies were generally easy to ignore.
Doubtless, superlative reading from Tim Gerard Reynolds made the book more consumable, too. His peerless diction, timbre, cadence, and tone combine with inspired voice-acting to generate a cinematic listening product. If you are given the choice between this recording and a text version of the book, take this one every time.
Bottom Line: I enjoyed this 7.5/10-star effort. 'House Of Assassins' is heavily influenced by the Gilgamesh/Enkidu saga and Indian mythology - which is great - but also Bollywood romance-dramas and Asian swashbuckling radioplays that have a strong "Soap-Opera" flavor - less successfully.
I am easily intrigued enough to continue with the series, however.. despite being melodramatic at times, this richly built world yields "Quality Fantasy Done Well".
