I forgot he had his own section here now! Anyway, I saw Joe on Saturday at BristolCon. Already posted in that thread, but here tis again: As well as that, he said his favourite SFF authors were George RR Martin, Tolkien, Le Guin, and Moorcock. He also said that he wants his next book to be...

I was wondering if anyone here would know the difference between the UK and US editions of the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. The site I wish to order from has both versions of each book, and the only difference I can easily see is that the UK editions have a higher page count. I dont...

http://www.bristolcon.org/ I will be going to this'n to try to flog some books! Didn't know Joe Abercrombie was going to be there until I had a look on the website. Might have to buy one of his books now! Heard good things about him on here.

Well hello there. How are you doing? All well? Some weather we're having, huh? A tad too hot for my taste, though. So what else has been going on? Job okay? Moving onwards and upwards? Straddling the pink-slip line? Well, take care, then. Please give my regards to the family. Oh, by the way...

I just recently finished the first book in this series and was totally blown away by the writing style, the deep, dark, secretive characters and the pure lack of a coherent plot. That did not bother me in the least because I wanted to see what happens to the characters, only at the end on the...

Did anyone else feel that The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie felt as though it left many questions unanswered and very much open to other ways of following up on the main characters? Even slightly disappointed? Inquistor Glokta, Jezal dan Luthar, Logen Ninefingers, The Dogman, and...

Alrighty - the next book in Joe's litany has been named. A book called The Heroes. Although it is listed for release in the distant 2011 - I wondered if you'd like to pitch in with any speculation and wish fulfillment for Characters 'n' stuff? Ady

I picked up The First Law Trilogy a couple of weeks ago and am half way through book 2. All I can say is that this series goes right to the top of my "must read" collection. There is just something about the story line and the writing that draws you in and makes the books very difficult to put...

Just finished the First Law trilogy, ordered his next book. Then I'll have run out. :-( Its grim, and big, but very human and doesn't take itself too seriously. It is a serious story, but Sand dan Glockta's little thoughts about the rest of the world, and those wonderful moments when West...

The David Gemmell awards are being held tonight. So - what chance has this novel? And for anyone who wishes to discuss the outcome of the most excellent First Law trilogy - you can begin your rants, raves and general ruminations here! I really did enjoy the trilogy. After the initial reading...

Have just finished Joe Abercrombie's fourth book - Best Served Cold. A superb read from a guy who is quickly establishing himself as the best fantasy author in the UK - and threatening to conquer the world with his acerbic humour, deftly created characters, twisty-turny plotlines and lashings...

To the east of Midderland and the Union lies the land of Styria, a feuding patchwork of city-states consumed by the 'Years of Blood'. Duke Orso of Talins has spent years expanding his power across the land, and city after city has fallen into his grasp thanks to his strong right arm, the...

Here's a review of the much-anticipated concluding volume to this author's debut trilogy.

**********SPOILERS ARE VERY LIKELY********** Has anyone read this second part in Joe's First Law Trilogy? I finished it just yesterday and I didn't think it'd be as good as The Blade Itself (thread http://www.chronicles-network.com/forum/11395-the-blade-itself-joe-abercrombie.html) but it...

Hello I bought this book yesterday and I was just wondering if anyone else has read it and what their thoughts were if they had done so. The blurb - just to refresh anyone's memory is... Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on...
