Summary
You die when you die....
You can't change your fate - so throw yourself into battle, because you'll end the day either a hero or drinking mead in the halls of the gods. That's what Finn's tribe believe. But Finn wants to live. When his settlement is massacred by a hostile tribe, Finn plus several friends and rivals must make their escape across a brutal, unfamiliar landscape, and to survive, Finn will fight harder than he's ever fought before.
The David Gemmell Award-nominated author of Age of Iron returns with You Die When You Die - an epic fantasy adventure in which a mismatched group of refugees battle animals and monsters, determined assassins, an unforgiving land and each other as they cross a continent to fulfil a prophecy.
Critic reviews
"Would I read the next one? Yes, absolutely. Bring me my hammer, bring my beer, bring it on!" (SF Crowsnest on Age of Iron)
"It simply grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go." ( BIBLIOSANCTUM on Age of Iron)
"A fun and addictive read." (Fantasy Faction on Age of Iron)
"Watson's tale is gore-soaked and profanity-laden - full of visceral combat and earthy humour, and laced with subtle magic." ( Publishers Weekly on Age of Iron)

Fantastic, fun and absorbing.
Fantastic story line with first class narration by Sean Barret. Can't wait (I suppose I will have to) for the next book in the series. To console myself I'll re listen to the Age of Iron trilogy.

Action packed, brutal and amusing.
Loved it. I've got friends that talk like the Laktian (spelling!) tribe so it was OK. Some people may be shocked but it is a great story and very funny in places. A great bit of escapism well written and brilliantly narrated. 10/10

Great follow up to Age of Iron
I gave this a go on the back of loving the Age of Iron & the narration.
More of the same, really enjoyable, fast-paced, often funny action, and absolutely rockets along. Full of great characters & narrated flawlessly.
If you liked Age of Iron, it should be an automatic buy.

Fantastic.
Almost as good as the Age of Iron Trilogy!
I love his hearing all the inner thoughts of his characters and they have me laughing out loud at times with their naivety!
Sean, again is brilliant with the narration, characters and personalities; fast becoming my favourite narrator.
Roll on book 2!

Angus! Angus! Angus!
During my formative years I remember fans at an AC/DC concert chanting “Angus, Angus, Angus” in homage to their guitar hero as he strutted his stuff on stage. While AC/DC weren’t huge favourites of mine I always remember the warmth, affection and excitement pouring off the crowd for their man. Well that came back to me as I listened to Angus Watson’s first trilogy, “Age of iron” not so long ago. He drew the crowd in with an excellent opener, crossed the tricky minefield of keeping it going in the second book and rounded it off with a thudding wallop of a closer. And now he’s at it again!
You Die When You Die is a genuine fantasy series but once more Watson has based it loosely on real geography and history. This time it’s some Vikings in the Americas of all things! In terms of plot it’s also a long way from the “Iron” books. Our “hero” is Finn and he’s no Gus that’s for sure. He and some friends are forced on an epic journey pursued by the fantasy equivalent of Charlie’s Hell's Angels and running into all kinds of different tribes and problems along the way.
That said, this delivers in very firmly in the same style as the Age of Iron series. Great fun characters who are defined as much by their failings as their strengths or mighty deeds. Watson delivers their inner child with great aplomb and for anyone who worries about such things much swearing. There’s a strong argument that it is reminiscent of Abercrombie but I think maybe now we should avoid such comparisons because Watson is forging a style of his own.
This is an author delivering my kind of contemporary fantasy with a narrator who is definitely up there near the top. So, go on shell out a credit for this one and join me chanting “Angus, Angus, Angus” as messrs Watson and Barret take us on another great ride!
