About this listen

The David Gemmell Award-shortlisted author of Age of Iron returns with the final book in his West of West trilogy, in which a mismatched group of refugees must battle monsters, an unforgiving land and each other as they cross a continent to fulfil a prophecy.

Battling across the Shining Mountains, the questers discover a land more terrifying and filled with more dangerous creatures than they could ever have imagined - and they've fought thunder lizards. The tentatively allied Wootah and Calnians must survive monster attacks, flash floods and tornadoes to uncover the secret of The Meadows. And then comes the hard part. To save themselves and everybody else they will travel west of west, deeper into danger, and do all that they can to defeat a goddess who has already killed all the other gods.

Angus Watson's amazing gang of alchemically enhanced super women and the craziness of the Wootah tribe start this book right slap bang in trouble and pretty much stay there from start to finish despite travelling many, many miles! Watson throws so much at them you wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of kitchen sinks crash into Wolf the Fat's skull while he wasn't looking. From supernatural weather to even naturally treacherous terrain it is all set against out heroes from page 1 until you hear 'Audible hopes you enjoyed'.

In amongst all this of course we have the wonderful Finn the Deep trying desperately for validation and coming so close but somehow letting it slip through his grasp. A really wonderful character but far from alone in this wide and varied cast, the other Wootah tribe member are equally delightful with special mentions going to Erik and of course Keith!

Sean Barrett is once again the man charged with bringing the madness to our ears and as you would expect he continues his fine performances from the previous books. With his narration and Watson's writing it may mostly lack the keen hard edge of say a Pacey and Abercrombie combination, mortality is more gently treated, but there are some grisly scenes that will genuinely make you wince in this one.

This has been a tremendous and extremely inventive trilogy and I do love the way that Watson has based it on North America, in his historical note he certainly taught me a thing or two and it's fascinating to think of the likes of Finn, Keith and Erik roaming those vast plains.

Needless to say it would be madness to start with this one, it needs reading from the start and as a trilogy it's definitely worth thinking about if you want to embark on a grand fantasy adventure that never quite takes itself fully seriously and yet delivers genuine excitement and wide-ranging adventure!

Wootah! Wootah! Wootah!
