Red Country

A First Law Novel

De: Joe Abercrombie

Narrado por: Steven Pacey

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 alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust...

The past never stays buried...©2012 Joe Abercrombie

Reseñas de la Crítica

Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out (Joe Hill)

One of the best

One of the best from a series of great book by Abercrombie. Great characters, good story and a couple of good laughs in all the darkness.

Not the best - but still good

If you could sum up Red Country in three words, what would they be?

A Good Time

If you’ve listened to books by Joe Abercrombie before, how does this one compare?

no way near as good as the heroes

Which scene was your favorite?

Any scene with Union interests

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really

Any additional comments?

Set after the heroes - but u dont really know what happened to the UNION!
Last we heard they were off to Styria -but so many years have past we dont know what happened!! did they win?

Joe seems to be very Anti Union which is just strange.......

Horribly and terribly fantastic

Joe Ambercrombie is widely regarded to be among the founding fathers of dark or gritty fantasy, and his latest installment "Red Country" is among the best of his work.
Steven Pacey's performance and portrayal of the characters fits amazingly, portraying the key traits of the characters just perfectly.
Red Country is a good listen, it will make you cringe and it may make you feel sick to your stomach, a tribute to both Abercrombie's skill at description and Pacey's reading.
I fully reccomend this audiobook, but be prepared for bloody and gory descriptions and characters so vile that you can scarcely believe it.
furthermore, it would not be required to be familiar with Abercrombie's former works, but the book would hold much more depth if you are familiar with the characters and events that took place in his former novels.

Life stories, characters

The pace, the characters, narrative. Did not want story to end. Scene setting very good.

A great book by a great author

Would you consider the audio edition of Red Country to be better than the print version?

The characters are so well done by S.Pacey it's like there are different readers for every character

What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Country?

When you realise who Lamb really is.

What about Steven Pacey’s performance did you like?

He gets the voices, timing and drama perfect. Each character sounds like a different reader

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The pit fight between Lamb and Glamour Golden

Any additional comments?

Read ALL of the series. This is an amazing 6th book in an absolutely amazingly well done series.
