The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie

The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie

Three men. One battle. No Heroes.

Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasySeek 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 * Guardian *
[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 * Publishers Weekly *
