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.

  1. Mycket bra med de bästa stridscener jag läst!
    Daniel J, 10 april 2023

    The heroes är den andra av av tre relativt fristående romaner i First law-världen. Med relativt fristående menar jag att den visserligen går bra att läsa utan att man läst de tidigare böckerna i serien men att referenser till händelser och karaktärer i dem existerar. Även om boken kan läsas fristående så rekommenderar jag att man läst tidigare böcker i serien innan man läser den här.

    The heroes utspelar sig cirka åtta år efter orginaltrilogin och cirka fem år efter Best served cold. ... Läs hela recensionen

  2. Grym
    Björn Torp, 25 november 2014

    En våldsam historia med onda människor.Men med bra personbeskrivningar och spännande handling. Dessutom välskriven med ett visst djup. Lite lång kanske som med alla nyare engelsk/amerikanska böcker.

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 * 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 *
