Publisher's Summary

Red Country: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

They burned her home.

They stole her brother and sister.

But vengeance is following.

Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old stepfather Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country the past never stays buried.

Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse, it will force them into an alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust....

Red Country takes place in the same world as the First Law trilogy, Best Served Cold, and The Heroes. This novel also represents the return of Logen Ninefingers, one of Abercrombie's most beloved characters.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Perfect (except for the soundtrack)

From the first sentence, this is a western. Set in a fantasy world, yes, but oh man is it a humdinger of a western. Pacey's performance, as usual, was pitch perfect, but I could have done without the soundtrack...

Best Joe Abercrombie book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. The characters in the story had great personalities and the interactions between characters were some of the best I've heard.
It took me about half the book to get used to the soundtrack playing in the background. For me it didn't really add anything to the story and I could've done without it just fine, but kudos to trying it. Instead of using soundtracks I think it would've been better if they had added sound effects, and battle sounds during an intense battle. Make it more like an audio drama.
