À propos de cet audio
Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north. It's bloody and dangerous, and the Union army, split by politics and hamstrung by incompetence, is unprepared for the slaughter that's coming. Lacking experience, training, and in some cases even weapons, the army is scarcely equipped to repel Bethod's scouts, let alone his elite forces.
In the heat-ravaged south, the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the inevitable defeat and massacre to come... but a plot is festering to hand the city to its besiegers without a fight, and the previous Inquisitor of Dagoska vanished without trace. Threatened from within and without the city, Glokta needs answers, and he needs them soon.
And to the east, a small band of malefactors travel to the edge of the world to reclaim a device from history - a Seed, hidden for generations - with tremendous destructive potential. A device which could put a end to war, to the army of Eaters in the South, to the invasion of Shanka from the North - but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled.

On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specializes in disappointments. Savine dan Glokta - socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the Union - plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary. But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Great story, can't wait for the next one, and Steven Pacey is a smooth and lively reader.

keeps you guessing
I really enjoy this series. it gives a GOT vibe in the sense that not all good guys are completely good and not all bad guys are completely bad. the characters are well developed and the story while having the odd slow point is great. lots of political back stabbing etc. this is a dark series. I would definitely recommend

Abercrombie & Pacey Audible Dynamic Duo
Joe Abercrombie again shows he is the best. Very entertaining, smart wit,
each main character is interesting and their back stories are slowly revealed throughout the book. I found myself laughing out loud and grinning around the house as I listened and re-listened to chapters to selfishly revel in the story.
Mr Pacey’s voice performance talents gives layered nuance to the many characters and seems to have a kinship of sorts interpreting J. A. works. A winning combination for all parties. I’m a fan of both JA & SP.

Exemplary Middle Entry
There is a reason that Fantasy tales are told in Trilogies (besides buying the author time to complete a vision, building anticipation among fans, and the financial ones): Book One in the genre establishes the central characters and introduces world-building; Book Two engages in character development & fine-tuning of the setting - while advancing towards a climactic confrontation; Book Three is the payoff. The formula works.
Joe Abercrombie does a great job adhering to that pattern: 'Before They Are Hanged' elaborates on the fascinating characters introduced in 'The Blade Itself' - leading readers through engrossing personality evolutions. At the same time, he pens an action-heavy exposition describing three seperate fronts in the wars of "The Union": Colonel West & Three-Trees's company in the North; newly-promoted "Superior" Glokta in the South; and "First Of The Magi" Bayaz and companions heading West to obtain a magical weapon to confront a resurgent magical threat. On the way, we learn much more about 'The First Law' (basically "Don't Summon Demons") and the 'Second Law' ("Don't Eat Human Flesh").. both of which we find have been regularly violated (putting the world at risk). Notwithstanding a tendency to write a little too much sex, Abercrombie offers a fabulous bridging novel.
Truly outstanding reading from Steven Pacey contributes to the enjoyability of the book, too. Yes, I cringed every time he read the word 'grimaced' as "grim-AYSSED".. but his otherwise clever voice-acting and understanding of the author's intended tone - in particular - make this Orion Publishing Group production genuinely praiseworthy.
I rate this audiobook 9 stars out of 10. It's actually *better* than a very, very good Book One.. and it has me looking forward to listening to the final book of the Trilogy.
[ATTN PRODUCERS: The book mainly deals with battles and travels across Abercrombie's Union territory. An appended PDF with Maps would improve this product markedly]

Truly Joe is the dark fantasy writer we deserve!
How is it possible to write about terrible people who you as the reader end up routing for? Well that is how well Joe Abercrombie does character building. Some of the best characters I have seen in any book setting. The conversations, thoughts and attitudes of the main characters are phenomenally well written and character progression is well thought out and implemented.
Steven Pacey is a prenominal narrator and became one of my favorites instantly when starting this series. My only regret is that he does not do more notable fantasy series.
All and all this and other books in the First Law series are amazing to listen to and will grip you long after you have stopped listening to the last chapter.
