About this listen

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

"Unflinchingly bloodthirsty and outrageously entertaining." (Christopher Brookmyre on Age of Iron)
"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!

Stories within Stories

There is a nice structure to the narrative, there is some excellent and often amusing phrases. The folklore appears well researched and intelligent. I liked it a lot.
