Resumen del Editor

War rages as the Great Extermination spreads in the latest installment of Larry Correia’s best-selling Son of the Black Sword epic fantasy series.

The assassination of the chief judge has pushed the Capitol to the edge. The Great Extermination has spread to all the land. The casteless must be annihilated.

Their only hope is the fallen Protector Ashok Vadal. But Vadal is being held prisoner on the island of Fortress. In order to save those who need him most, he must escape and find his way across the demon-infested sea and return to Thera, the prophet of an illegal and forgotten god. It is she who has sent the Sons of the Black Sword to war against the warrior caste, hoping to buy time until Vadal’s return.

But as the chaos swirls, Grand Inquisitor Omand Vokkan launches a coup to install Lord Protector Devedas as his puppet king. Devedas has no intention of being anyone’s puppet, but it may not matter. For Vokkan has struck a secret bargain with a demon. Vokkan will destroy the casteless for this ancient being; in exchange, he will be granted the power of the ancient gods.

Ashok Vadal, Thera, and the Sons of the Black Sword face foes both human and supernatural, Byzantine political intrigue and bloody hand-to-hand combat, gods and demons alike. But Vadal is a warrior with a warrior’s heart, and woe to those who would stand in his way—man, god, demon, or otherwise!

fantastic story, characters and performance.

my only dislike is now I have to wait for the last book to be written and recorded.

Always Entertaining

I can & do always expect a great product from this author and this installment was no exception!

I love this series

The storytelling is vivid the action is fun and the characters are very realistic with real emotions and great unique voices. The narrator is fun to listen to as well. Keep up the great work.

Ashok get's his due

great book. Cannot wait for book 5. This is one of the best epic fantasy series going.

Story line is strong

Another engrossing saga with great characters. Storytelling is first rate. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Characters are amazing

Where to start? This series keeps getting better and better. Perhaps not the level of Tolkien’s works, but close. Closer than any contemporary writer has gotten.

Becoming one of my favourite series

Sons of the black swords keeps unfolding a great story. Ashok is a very strange protagonist but he keeps developing slowly as a character from the first book until the fourth. This book has many strong moments just like its predecessors. My only complaint is that it felt like it was quite short and ended prematurely. I will be eagerly be looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great Series

Entertaining and imaginative. Love Larry’s foray into Epic Fantasy. Only one star removed for discrepancies in plot of House of Vidal.

I wish I could give this a million stars.....

It's been SO long since I read this series that I had to go back and see what my thoughts were....and O.M.G....I'm so EXCITED...so freaking reading to dive right back, in......
(this is where things left off for me..... p.s. I needed the reminders....)

Well, dang it....another cliffhanger.
Now I have to go back to waiting, but boy oh boy was this a fantastic book.

After reading so many books, it really is hard to clarify when a book goes above and beyond, especially if it is the series as a whole that is one of the so very rare. It makes you want to scream it from the mountain tops.....

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE.

By now, during this series, we have followed the main protagonist Ashok Vadal for years as he has struggled to understand his place in life. From HERO to OUTCAST. The things that he was told and believed for most of his life ended up being completely untrue and we have watched him try to deal with the consequences of his actions, and his attempts to try to do the right thing.

During this journey, we have also had the great opportunity to meet an enormous but amazing group of secondary characters who have helped to make this series so rich and so riveting. This book is no different.

Without going into spoilers, let me just say that in this book - Ashok is separated from his group for most of the book. Part of me was VERY sad about this, but there were things that had to happen.

The crazy thing about this series is that there are events happening all over the place - all over the country, and in different groups. We are getting POV's from so many different views as we are following the various schemes and plans that both the good guys AND the bad guys are putting in motion. I will say one thing, this book is full of non-stop action. I think possibly, and just possibly, the beginning might have been the only section that started off a bit slow, but once things got started...OH. MY. GOSH.... Things are getting crazy!

I can't even remember right now if there was a foreword, or afterword where the author told us if the next book is going to be the last. I was so caught up with WHERE things were when the book ended that my brain was still thinking about the ramifications......

So, I guess it is back to waiting. Dang it. I truly hate waiting, but then again, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Honestly though, if you have not started this series...stop reading this and go find book 1. Do not start in the middle, or at any other book than the first one. You will be going on a grand adventure that will make you cry, break your heart and yet make you so unbelievably proud......

treacherous magic!

I very much enjoy this story. interesting fantasy that keeps adding more lore and world building id love to explore.

please write more :)
