About this listen

WAR. POLITICS. REVOLUTION.
THE AGE OF MADNESS HAS ARRIVED . . .

'Funny and sardonic, violent and compelling' Guardian

'A tale of brute force and subtle magic on the cusp of an industrial revolution ... Buckle your seat belts for this one' Robin Hobb

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

On the battlefields of the North, the next generation of would-be heroes rushes to make the same bloody mistakes as the last.

While the age of the machine dawns, the age of magic refuses to die. One might glimpse the future, through the curse of the Long Eye, but changing it is another matter altogether.

The chimneys of industry rise, the cities seethe with opportunity, and even kings must kneel before the new power of the banks. But in the slums, anger is brewing, and soon it will boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control . . .

Introducing a cast of unforgettable new characters, A LITTLE HATRED begins a new First Law trilogy which will have you gripped from the very start ...

It's another Abercrombie masterpiece! Coupled with Mr Pacey narration it's genius.

I listened to the First Law trilogy and loved it. Though I came to,this book unsure, set years after with a host of new characters I was worried I'd miss the old ones, I really needn't have worried.

Say one thing about Abercrombie say he is a fuckin great author!

Personally I think this is Joe's best work so far. I really enjoyed the original first law trilogy and there are plenty of nods to it through out this book.

Fast paced, deep complex characters and set in an interesting & fresh era of industrialism.

Can't wait for the next one.

Bloody Brilliant!

Solid performance and an intruiging start
