First Lord's Fury

Codex Alera, Book 6

By: Jim Butcher

Narrated by: Kate Reading

In the final novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's acclaimed Codex Alera series, the people of Alera—who use their unique bond with the elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal for protection—must face the ultimate conflict…

For Gaius Octavian, life has been one long struggle. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, he became a legendary man of war and leader of men—and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

Now, the end of all he fought for is close at hand. The brutal, dreaded Vord are on the march, using fear and chaos to turn the Alerans against one another, and forcing those who will not submit to flee to the outer reaches of the realm.

Perhaps for the final time, Gaius Octavian and his legions must stand against the enemies of his people. And it will take all his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness...©2009 Jim Butcher; (P)2009 Penguin Audio

Fantastic story

Kate Reading is one of the best narrators I've heard. She always delivers an amazing performance.
Jim butcher is becoming one of my favorite authors! The story universe is complex and always filled with interesting details. His characters are just as complex and are never stagnant.
I highly recommend both the author and narrator to anyone interested in the best stories!

Excellent!

I have enjoyed all of the Fury books. If you like the first one, you will like the others too.

long but good ending

it was a long conclusion but not unnecessarily overdone. good ending that brings a solid conclusion to the world that was built.

The ending...

Had higher hopes for the ending, but it was not bad. I could see another book in the future to fully complete the series, but the ending is fine where Butcher left it. It makes sense I suppose.

Great series!

Jim Butcher ties everything up at the end, no loose ends. Sad to see it end!
