Klappentext zu „Before They Are Hanged “
Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north, and the union army is lacking experience, training, and weapons. In the south the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the defeat and massacre to come, preparations are made to make the Gurkish pay for every inch of land. 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.

Rezension zu „Before They Are Hanged “
Before They Are Hanged is an excellent sequel from an author writing compelling, character-driven, adult fantasy, for readers who want to be entertained as well as challenged. SFF WORLD In my opinion, Joe Abercrombie possesses all the qualities that made David Eddings such a powerhouse during the 80s and 90s. Before They Are Hanged is a satisfying sequel which should establish Joe Abercrombie as one of the bright new voices of the genre. FANTASY HOT LIST Before They Are Hanged grabs you and drags you along. SFF SITE Dark, deeply ironic and full of character gems that will appeal to your cynical side, Before They Are Hanged is as brilliant as its predecessor. -- John Berlyne SF REVU "We're right there in the heads of these dudes, thanks to the author's style of showcasing their thoughts. His knowing turn of phrase means that situations often appear ironic, with peripheral characters verging on the Dickensian. This follow-up is crammed with unexpected betrayals, murders and liaisons, often catching us off guard." -- Dave Bradley SFX
Pressezitat
Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out Joe Hill
