Red Country: Booktrack Edition

De: Joe Abercrombie

Narrado por: Steven Pacey

Red Country: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

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 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.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Love the Booktrack Editions!

I purchased Red Country a couple months ago and Loved it. When I logged on to Audible today, I saw the Booktrack edition. I had no idea what "Booktrack Edition" meant, so I read the blurb about the added music/soundtrack. I listened to the sample and thought it was awesome! The music REALLY adds to the narration. Luckily, Audible allows returns and exchanges. So I returned my non-booktrack edition of this audiobook and snagged the Booktrack edition. Listening to it again right now! LOVE it! Please, Audible! Do this to MORE books! At least add it to all of the books in Abercrombie's First Law world!

A true masterpiece

No one writes character dialog like Abercrombie. Just brilliant. Had me laughing out loud one minute and crying the next.

It's an Abercrombie novel read by Steven Pacey

As usual from this duo, this is a great listen. Though the characters are not as numerous as in past Abercrombie's books, Pacey still shines. Recommended if you are a fan of the First Law Series.
The booktrack audio was a little distracting at times, annoying at others, and then it was sublime. I personally do not care for the audio music about 70% of the time it was intrusive with Steven Pacey's skill, but the audio background noise was pleasant more often than not.

Great story & performance hindered by poor soundtrack

Great story in Joe Abercrombie’s world, must-read if you love the series, but consider a different edition. The music was constantly over-dramatic, often out of place & turning the writer’s dry humour into melancholy moments.

Great read!

The background music was distracting at first. Half way through I started to enjoy it. Great read!

the plot line

so unexpected. spittle predictable. but all in all. better than i think it gets credit for. not a good as the others but a master piece noob the less

Awesome

It took a little to get used to the music but ended up loving the experience. Great narrator and excellent story

Book track boon

Really love book track and this was no exception. I really
Loved how they used the classic Abercrombie theme of chains and choir a few times through out as opposed to beginning and end. That is as much Abercrombie as pacey saying “fucker” in Logan’s voice.
Great story. Helped me through a time of loss and useless violence.

Very Good

The book was as very good as is all of Abercrombie’s work. Also love the return of Logan

Excellent all around

Pros: great writing style as always by Joe Abercrombie. great character and plot development. great plot and paced well to keep you engaged but also give you all the details you need.
Cons: the music can definitely be a give away for what's going to happen and can be a bit loud and distracting.
