<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set over three days, "The Heroes"--the new novel by the author of "Best Served Cold"--is about violence and ambition, gruesome deaths and betrayals, and the brutal truth that no plan survives contact with the enemy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 neighbor, 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. <p/>THE HEROES <p/>For glory, for victory, for staying alive.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Lord of the rings as directed by Kurosawa --- Wall Street Journal. <p/>Magnificent, richly entertaining. --- <i>Time <p/></i>Abercrombie never glosses over a moment of the madness, passion, and horror of war, nor the tribulations that turn ordinary people into the titular heroes. --- <i>Publishers Weekly </i>(Starred Review) <p/><i>The Heroes</i> 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 world-weary wisdom about the weaknesses of the human race. Brilliant. --- Eric Brown, <i>The Guardian </i>(UK) <p/>Delivered in Abercrombie's trademark witty style ... This is an action-packed novel full of brutality, black humour and razor-sharp characterisation. --- Dave Bradley, <i>SFX</i> (5 star review) <p/>It's an excellent tale and arguably Abercrombie's best book yet ... Its pace really showcases his talent for differently voiced and realistically motivated characters ... any genre fan can enjoy what's one of the best fantasy books of the past year. --- <i>SciFi Now</i> (5 star review)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Joe Abercrombie</b> is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Red Country</i> and the First Law trilogy: <i>The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged</i>, and <i>Last Argument of Kings</i>.
