Joe Abercrombie is the New York Times bestselling author of Red Country and the First Law trilogy: The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, and Last Argument of Kings. He is a full-time writer and occasional freelance film editor who lives in Bath, England with his wife and three children.
"[Abercrombie has] begun breaking his own rules. And succeeding
wildly at it. ... [R]arely has Abercrombie had so much fun while
rollicking through his colorful cast's foibles and witty dialogue -
and rarely has he dished out so much straight-for-the-heart
poignancy."--The A.V. Club
"Abercrombie has written the finest epic fantasy trilogy in recent
memory. He's one writer that no one should miss."--Junot Diaz
"Bloody and relentless."--George R. R. Martin on Best Served
Cold
"Bold and authentically original."--Jeff VanderMeer
"Exhilarating... Abercrombie's knack for wit and grit holds your
attention throughout, and his eye for character means that there's
heart as well as muscle."--SFX (UK)
"If you're fond of bloodless, turgid fantasy with characters as
thin as newspaper and as boring as plaster saints, Joe Abercrombie
is really going to ruin your day. A long career for this guy would
be a gift to our genre."--Scott Lynch, author of The Lies of Locke
Lamora
"Imagine The Lord of the Rings as directed by Kurosawa."--Lev
Grossman, Wall Street Journal on The Heroes
"Magnificent, richly entertaining"--Time on The Heroes
"New, fresh, and exciting."--The Independent (UK)
"Pointed, driven, and sharp."--Locus on Red Country
