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

Opinie krytyków

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 liked it all in all. Better than what I expected after I read some reviews before buying. Good addition to the series. I just couldnt agree on trying to make Gaust so similar to Glokta...
(Spoiler) Shivers should have called out Dow about what happened in the room when he "took" Logans sword (iirc he didnt take it). Would have been a better reason for Shivers to turn on him.

Good, some missed chances

Battles, hard men and what it means to be a hero. Gritty fantasy at its finest.

One of Abercrombies Best Work in my opinion

As all books from Abercrombie so far it was a blast and I rushed trough it because I just couldn't stop! Steven Lacey does a great job bringing to book to life with his acting skills and the story profits immensely from his vigour! For everybody who likes fantasy that is a bit on the dark side. (and nobody has plot armor!)

Great book, great performance!

Absolutely stunning and detail rich storytelling. The most realistic characters in fiction and definitely written with love.

Read and listened to these magnificent, right-going-into-your-heart-and-brain stories over and over again. Altough i am a foreign lingo consumer its just fun and joy to follow Pacey's show, that should never end. It's so good to hear, he's performing Abercrombies new words. Can't await'em.
The story seems to some folks futile, in fact it demonstrates the futility of war. Nothing gained, much more lost. Actually it is the in between. Abercrombie's narrative is not to binged on. You've to taste it, melt it in your mouth. The dialogs are ripping madness and insanity out of our world. They make me laugh, reflect and often enough sting my prefrontal cortex . Just what stories should do. I think Abercrombie is barely beatable, even if his plots are not moving the action along briskly.

The very best
