About this listen

The Greatcoats - legendary heroes, arbiters of justice...or notorious traitors?

The Greatcoats are travelling magistrates bringing justice to all...or at least they were, before they watched the Dukes impale their King's head on a spike.

Now the land's heroes are reviled as traitors, their Greatcoats in tatters. Facio, Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as mercenaries, but when they find their employer dead - and are forced to watch as the killer plants evidence framing them for the murder - they realise things are about to get even worse.

For the royal conspiracy that began with overthrowing an idealistic young king is spreading to Rijou, the most corrupt city in the land, and the life of a young girl hangs in the balance.

When every noble is a tyrant and every knight is a thug, the only thing you can really trust is a traitor's blade.

I read this book a while ago and purchased it because I enjoyed listening to the malevolent seven and other books by the same narrator. I love the humour in de Castell’s stories.

Excellent narration of a great story

I quite enjoyed it but got a bit fed up with going on from one fight to the next, but more fleshing out of the characters background required

too many fights

I’ve not been so excited by my first exposure to an author’s work since I discovered Joe Abercrombie, and I can’t remember the last time I consumed any audiobook with such gusto.

A great deal of the credit must go to the narrator; his accents are good, but his ability to switch, quite convincingly, between the voices of men, women and children is little short of uncanny.

To Messrs De Castell and Jameson, my thanks and congratulations.

Magnificent

If you know the law is corrupt and used to oppress. You will like this book. If you want a hero to beat up bullies. A hero who does the right thing and does not know why. You will like this book. I enjoyed this book as much as I did Abercrombies.

Really good book

Super story, quite different. Will definitely try another from this author. Narrator is superb, the tone, pace and character representation is spot on and brings the tale to life.
