The Flesh of War

Warsworn, Book 1

By: Ben Hale

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

Forged for combat, the rock trolls have no equal. They train from birth, endure brutal conditioning, and mark their skin with every kill. They have become the very flesh of war, but their history of honor has been forgotten. Now a bounty has been issued, one which calls for the extermination of their race. To survive they must awaken to what they have lost, before their enemies begin to gather.

Born in the midst of a bloody conflict, Tryton bears a heart of peace. His talent will command respect, but his nature is the true weapon. To wield it he must rise to lead them all - without sacrificing his soul. The fate of his people lies with him, but the seeds of destruction have already been sown.

And the harvest has come.

great book

the story line was great. the narrator did a great job. I definitely recommend it.

If you liked the Jack Myst series,

you will enjoy this series. Same land, but it focuses on the Rock Trolls. The narrator is very good.

Great story, bad narration

I really enjoyed the book, but just couldn't get over the staccato machine-gun delivery of the narrator. I doubt I will pick up the next 2 books in the series because of it.

Great Read

An amazing story and look into the world of Trolls and expanding the world of Lumineia. Loved it!

Great Fun

Sucked me in quickly for the series ... beware! You too may enjoy the series

The main character - Tryton.

Any additional comments?

Great book. Captivating/new perspective of the Rock Trolls within world of Lumineia, the world that the author has shaped within all of his books.

Great!

Great book, great narrator. Would recommend this book. Best part of the book is the war.

Great story with plenty of action!

Good story that is told very well and keeps you in suspense throughout! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series!

How I learned to love the trolls

A coming of age story of war mongering trolls who raise their young under brutal Spartan-like conditions and, one such youth, who decides to change their society to put more focus on the family. Not much intrigue and nuance with this species, more like, "if it walks and bleeds, KILL! (or, darn it!, enslave)"

The writing was excellent and the narration was well articulated and enjoyable to listen to. It was a fun novel and worth picking up the next one in the series.
