Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Sharp tactical plotting, hazardous cross-country travel and a dash of sardonic humor mark Butcher's fourth Codex Alera novel...Butcher deftly deploys intrigue, conflicted loyalties and hairbreadth action to excellent effect. Few writers balance military realism and cinematic swashbuckling with so much skill or wit.”—Publishers Weekly
 
“The fourth Codex Alera novel further develops the world and characters of its predecessors and confirms Butcher's mastery of action-filled fiction.”—Booklist
 
“I couldn't put this one down...Great work.”—SF Revu
 
“Readers are transported to a distant world that feels like a cross between Ancient Rome and Ancient Britain in this complex tale of war and personal growth...Mr. Butcher demonstrates his versatile talent that never fails to engage his audience.”—Huntress Reviews

Kate Reading seems like an odd choice to narrate a story about grim barbarians who are fighting a war in a magical age. Yet it quickly becomes clear that she’s the perfect choice to read CAPTAIN'S FURY, the fourth book of the Codex Alera series. Somehow she sounds as natural as the voice of an elfin magician as she does delivering the voice of a barbarian warlord. The long and complicated story involves a world in which people have bound themselves to forces of nature, such as the wind, which aid them in eternal battle. In this book, a young leader realizes that the only way for his world to survive is to persuade everyone to do something they’ve never done—put down their swords.
