À propos de cet audio

 Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap is a legend to all who don't know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteran of the wars against the lizards he makes a living from telling credulous travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire's slave trade. Here he will discover a secret infinitely more frightening than the trade in lives.

Archeth - pragmatist, cynic and engineer, the last of her race - is called from her work at the whim of the most powerful man in the Empire and sent to its farthest reaches to investigate a demonic incursion against the Empire's borders.

Egar Dragonbane, steppe-nomad, one-time fighter for the Empire finds himself entangled in a small-town battle between common sense and religious fervour. But out in the wider world there is something on the move far more alien than any of his tribe's petty gods.

Anti-social, anti-heroic, and decidedly irritated, all three of them are about to be sent unwillingly forth into a vicious, vigorous and thoroughly unsuspecting fantasy world. Called upon by an Empire that owes them everything and gave them nothing.

Richard Morgan brings his trademark visceral writing style, turbo-driven plotting and thought provoking characterisation to the fantasy genre and produces a landmark work with his first foray.

The storey grabs you right from the beginning and doesn't let go. Fabulous narrator as well.

Hard to put down!

Enjoyed this book. Among many fantasy books, it's not an epic standout. But it is good! The audio performance is also solid. Uniquely, the author does a good job of handling the feelings of homosexual characters within a recently puritanical oppressive regime. Frankly, it is nice to see any representation like that in a fairly traditional style fantasy book.

It's worth noting that this book is somewhat grim-dark, if that's not your thing. But I've enjoyed this book and since book one has come across as a set up for the rest of the series, I'll be listening to the next one soon.

Good fantasy book, not amazing, but worth a listen
