Publisher's summary

A New York Times best seller!

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 step father 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.

Awesome

Joe Ambercrombie just keeps coming up with great stories and with Steven Pacey narrating it was just that much better. Its still hard to believe one person was reading the book. Cant wait for the next one!

Amazing

Steven Pacey is the greatest narrator of all time. This entire series, starting from The Blade Itself, is a masterpiece. I am immediately re-listening to this entire amazing series.

Best Abercrombie yet. And that is saying something

What does Steven Pacey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Easily one of the best narrators. Really is a shame that Audible USA didn't release 'The Hereos' narrated by him.

Red Dead Masterpiece...

This is one of my favorites by JA, and that is saying something. Don't miss this chapter from the world of First Law. It's a tribute to the western genre that delivers to the fantasy fan. A great tale of terrible human being who do alright by each other now and then. And you have to be realistic...

Amazing!

This book was an awesome read. Joe Abercrombie spins a tale that envelops you and doesn't let go until the final word. Steven Pacey does a phenomenal job narrating and I have never encountered someone with his prowess to bring to life the personalities of the characters with a voice each their own. The characters in this book will leave you rooting for them, or against them, with all the vigor you can muster.

All of the books in the First Law world are a must read and this one stands with any one of them.

Joe Abercrombie did it again

I am so glad Nine Fingers re-emerged. I like how the author ended the story with a teaser.

Finished too soon

This is one of Joe's books I wished wouldn't end. So beautifully written and so wonderfully read. What will I do now that I have read all 6 books? Book Slump anyone?
