À propos de cet audio

Audie Award Finalist, Fantasy, 2016

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. It was prophesized that someday the demons would return, and only the descendants of Ramrowan would be able to defeat them. They became the first kings, and all men served those who were their only hope for survival.

As centuries passed, the descendants of the great hero grew in number and power. They became tyrannical and cruel and their religion nothing but an excuse for greed. Gods and demons became myth and legend, and the people no longer believed. The castes created to serve the Sons of Ramrowan rose up and destroyed their rulers. All religion was banned and replaced by a code of unflinching law. The surviving royalty and their priests were made casteless, condemned to live as untouchables, and the Age of Law began.

Ashok Vadal has been chosen by a powerful ancient weapon to be its bearer. He is a Protector, the elite militant order of roving law enforcers. No one is more merciless in rooting out those who secretly practice the old ways. Everything is black or white, good or evil, until he discovers his entire life is a fraud. Ashok isn’t who he thinks he is, and when he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, the consequences lead to rebellion, war - and destruction.

Larry Correia does a commendable job worldbuilding a "Swords & Sorcery" reality where a rich magical/martial history is balanced with an - evolved over generations - dystopian public structure. Corrupt elitist Duchies impose "order"; secular sensibilities are ruthlessly imposed (any hint of religion is outlawed); and a rigid caste system is enforced without exception (stepping outside of hereditary roles is punished with instant execution).
Within that matrix, Correia introduces Ashok Vadal, a zealous "Protector" (a kind of wandering magically-enhanced warrior/justiciar). Ashok discovers that he is secretly an "Untouchable" (Casteless) and embarks on a mission to reorganize society - while simultaneously facing sorcerous assassins and confronting a resurgence of Ancient Demons that are trying to extinguish humanity.
Correia's vocabulary & prose are capable, his plotting is "adequate", the pacing of the book is quite good (there are no stretches of tedium), and the author's description is vivid.

Adding exemplary narration from Tim Gerard Reynolds results in an 8.5/10-star audiobook. This book doesn't quite qualify as GrimDark, but it deals with more serious themes than most Conventional Fantasy. Be prepared for some thought-provoking entertainment.
I look forward to further installments in the 'Saga Of The Forgotten Warrior' series.
