À propos de cet audio

 They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them.

Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed with redemption and addicted to violence, he's far past caring how much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if it's his own.

Prince Calder isn't interested in honour, and still less in getting himself killed. All he wants is power, and he'll tell any lie, use any trick, and betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he doesn't have to fight for it himself.

Curnden Craw, the last honest man in the North, has gained nothing from a life of warfare but swollen knees and frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him?

Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds and petty jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the strongest arms that prevail.

Three men. One battle. No Heroes.©2011 Joe Abercrombie Fantastique Militaire Épique Sincère

Ce que les critiques en disent

Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out (Joe Hill)
The Heroes is an indictment of war and the duplicity that corrupts men striving for total power: bloody and violent, but never gratuitously so, it's imbued with cutting humour, acute characterisation and worldweary wisdom about the weaknesses of the human race. Brilliant
[The Heroes is a] blood-drenched, thought-provoking dissection ofa three-day battle is set in the same world as Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy but stands very well alone . . . Abercrombie never glosses over a moment of the madness, passion, and horror ofwar, nor the tribulations that turn ordinary people into the titular heroes

I've never laughed out loud as much as I did in this book. Excellent story and the narration is top notch as always by Pacey.

Another one for the ages

Love everything about this book but especially Gorst. Steven Percy is an absolute treasure. I found myself listening to chapters even after I read them to hear his take on characters. 5 stars all around!

My favourite book in this series so far!

An incredibly written decontruction of war, folly, and what it means to be a hero, brought to life by some of the best characters in the series. An absolute must read for fans of the first law trilogy.

Abercrombie at his absolute best

Fantastic characters, excellent story and another great story by Joe Abercrombie.
Better Served Cold edges it slightly but The Heroes is a close second in the series for me. Now on to Red Country.

Once again another excellent performance

Great addition to the series and leaves me thirsting for more. I love the view from so many angles over the course of one big battle and near days for the most part. Kept anticipating listening to more.

Awesome as per usual! GLORIOUS!
