Forged in Blood

De: Michael Z. Williamson - editor

Narrado por: Eric Jason Martin

Warriors and soldiers tied together throughout time and space.

From the distant past to the far future, those who carry the sword rack up commendations for bravery. They are men and women who, like the swords they carry, have been forged in blood. These are their stories.

In medieval Japan, a surly ronin is called upon to defend a village against a thieving tax collector who soon finds out it's not wise to anger an old, tired man. In the ugliest fighting in the Pacific Theater, an American sergeant and a Japanese lieutenant must face each other, and themselves. A former US Marine chooses sides with outnumbered Indonesian refugees against an invading army from Java. When her lover is stolen by death, a sergeant fighting on a far-flung world vows vengeance that will become legendary. And, when a planet fragments in violent chaos, seven Freeholders volunteer to help protect another nation's embassy against a horde.

Featuring all-new stories by Michael Z. Williamson, Larry Correia, Tom Kratman, Tony Daniel, Micahel Massa, Peter Grant, John F. Holmes, and many more.

Amazing anthology

I absolutely loved the anthology, but the narrator made it a bit hard to enjoy because of his bad pronunciation of several things like “wakizashi” and “Grainne”, especially as pronounced by the other narrators of this series and the lack of even vaguely similar accents for several well known characters.

This is not true to the series.

The author sold out, this is not a Freehold story, a lot of short stories. I am disappointed.
