Red Country Released

There have been a lot of people waiting for this news: Steven Pacey’s performance of Joe Abercrombie’s latest novel, Red Country, was released on audio this week!

Dark fantasy meets unforgiving western in this standalone tale of one woman’s struggle to find her kidnapped brother and sister.

The First Law was Joe’s take on the great epic fantasy tales. Then, in Best Served Cold he took on a fantasy version of a classic revenge story. With this, his 6th novel, he is once again venturing in a new direction, and on a new adventure, with one of the most enduring, powerful and popular characters of the The First Law Trilogy. It’s going to be their biggest challenge yet…

Shy South comes home to her farm to find a blackened shell; her brother and sister have been stolen and she sets off in grim pursuit with only her cowardly old step-father for company. But it turns out he’s hiding a bloody past of his own. None bloodier.

Their journey will take them across the lawless plains, through feuds, duels and massacres, and high into unmapped mountains to a reckoning with ancient enemies, and force them into alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune…and a man no one should ever have to trust…
