Summary
Crazy. Brutal. Unpredictable. And those are their good qualities. A pair of foul-mouthed mercenaries go on a suicide mission in this otherworldly fantasy.
After accepting a mission that no one wanted, He-Dog and Ballless travel the treacherous Lands of the South to the glittering city of Foust. There, they find the fabled walls under siege. A vicious, seething army of Beastmen surround the city, intent on sacking it and feasting upon every last citizen within. No one in their right mind would try to get past this mob. But He-Dog, Ball-less, and their companions aren’t in their right minds. Getting into Foust is utter madness. Getting out again is sure to get them killed.
Keith C. Blackmore’s madcap, grisly fantasy novel is perfect for fans of J. R. R. Tolkien and George R. R. Martin.

Terrific grimdark story
Another gem from Mr Blackmore. Big,bold and bloody. Mr B brings us a gritty tale of a group of mercenaries. If you have enjoyed any of his previous books be sure to check this one out.
Think this is one of his earlier works, and hopefully he has plans on bringing us more from these characters, as one story just ain't enough :). Narration was also top notch breathed life into the motley crew. Thank you for an enjoyable listen

Fantastic listen
I'll start by saying I'm a fan of both Mr Blackmore and Mr Lee so I could be biased, however it's a fantastic story and the narration is spot on as always.

Another Blackmore Bloodbath!
Anyone who has enjoyed Blackmore's "131 Days" series will feel immediately at home with this as the author dips into his back catalogue to bring us more vicious, nasty but somehow still honourable mercenaries. He-Dog and Balless are not the kind of people you would want within about fifty miles of you unless you were in an incredibly tight spot and of course had the gold coin to pay them!
They really are thoroughly dislikeable by pretty much any standard and yet the skill of the author is that you still end up cheering them on to the end. They have standards you see, not about much, and not great standards but they have a pseudo moral code and a thuggish likeability that is often Blackmore's forte.
As you would expect from Blackmore in this mode there is more bloody violence than is good for anyone and a body count to match most minor wars.
It's not for the faint-hearted or those that need to have likeable characters butit is a good old-fashioned ballsy knees-up of a tale that never relents or holds its punches.
