Description
The highly anticipated sequel to A Demon in Silver, The Hangman's Gate continues the epic saga of the War of the Archons.
After uniting the bandit clans, the Iron Tusk has swept into Shengen and taken control of the empire. With an army behind him, he marches along the Skull Road, ready to lay waste to the lands in the west. The rag-tag defenders of Dunrun are all that stand in his way. With their country besieged on all sides, troubling rumors of a priestess amassing power in the North, and unnatural alliances to the south, no help is coming. Alone, they must hold back the god-like powers of the Iron Tusk, or see life as they know it come to an end.

Innovative Storytelling Technique Falls Flat
R.S. Ford continues his tale describing a war among immortal beings spilling over onto the Mortal Plane - largely concentrating on a seven-foot-tall monstrous creature named 'The Iron Tusk' leading a coalition of Bandit Clans and (eventually) the Shengen Army across the landscape in this one.
Ford reunites characters from Book One ('Josten Cade', 'Livia/Innellan', 'Silver/Siff', and others) while trying a "Flashback" storytelling technique to drive the plot (cutting to previous timelines to answer the question "How did this person get to here?", and back to current time). It's an intriguing approach.. but generates more confusion and disruption of flow than edification (introducing new characters doesn't help, either).
Besides the messy narrative style, the expletives are overdone and many interrelationships are sophomoric.
On the other hand, Ford's scripting of combat is superlative and the descriptions are great. Altogether, the result is an enjoyable but unspectacular installment in the series.
Doubtless contributing to the book's suitability: impressive reading from Derek Perkins. This is some of the best that I have heard from Mr. Perkins - the voice-acting in particular is almost worth the price of admission alone.
If you can get this book as a 'Plus' selection, it's an 8/10-star distraction that's worth a download. If you listened to 'A Demon In Silver' (Book One), it's a capable sequel - but unless you're invested in the 'War Of The Archons' series, spend your Credit elsewhere if they ask.
