I never said he had children. But yes I doubt he married either.

Is it going to be a western? The blurb on the site and the video suggesst it looks like it. Either way Joe is always entertaining.

It's going to be a western theme, without revolvers and guns I guess, the whole man with a dark past trying to leave it behind and start again but getting pulled into it one last time.
Little settlements dotted miles apart in a dry land, bandits roaming, wild natives.

Re: ‘A Red Country,’ or possibly just, ‘Red Country’.

Will it be in the same world as the books he wrote previously?

Yes, another standalone before his next trilogy (also in the same world).Free Cyber-Cookie if you guess whos on the front cover. I don't think it's been made official yet but there a lot of theorys on other websites.

Re: ‘A Red Country,’ or possibly just, ‘Red Country’.

It looks like Samurai 7 hehe, the cover almost sells the book to me on its own!

I hope the last two books of First Law is as good or better than first that i enjoyed. Logan grew from generic Conan like Barbarian to more interesting.

Joe Abercrombie is coming to my town in Sweden in October for some SFF convention i was shocked, brit,american SFF authors almost never come here.

Re: ‘A Red Country,’ or possibly just, ‘Red Country’.

Awesome!

Stil, what to make of it?
The flap speaks of 'the far country'? What country is this?

Also, the maps clearly shows 'New Keln'. Keln is a town in Midderland if I'm not mistaken. So this would place this book in a New World rather than the Old Empire. I wouldn't know what would be a New World in the abercrombie series, unless it's a place not mentioned before.

Could it be we were all wrong in our guesses about Styria or the Old Empire?

Re: ‘A Red Country,’ or possibly just, ‘Red Country’.

I think it's a kind of frontier land that abuts Styria/the Old Empire.

I really liked reading about the Old Empire in the First Law. Hope a book gets set there.

That's all I had to hear to cement the fact that I'll most likely love this book.

Cosca is a riot. Wherever he goes, bloodshed and hilarity ensue.
