Joe Abercrombie - 2012
Joe Abercrombie, a prominent fantasy novelist, presents The Heroes, a work that confronts the cliches of the genre with a cynical and powerful voice. This novel ventures into the topical territory of war, exploring its dangerous aspects over a compressed three-day period. Set in the same world as Best Served Cold, the narrative is fast-paced, depicting a battlefield that is muddy, bloody, and horrific. Abercrombie uses the fantasy setting to examine themes of violence, ambition, strategy, and the inherent unpredictability of conflict, where no plan survives contact with the enemy.
