Joseph Colsco has survived what many would not have - cast naked on an alien planet amidst humans speaking an unknown language and with a different culture and history. Now, known to the people of Caedellium as Yozef Kolsko, he has risen out of despair to prominence and finds himself a central figure in the culmination of a struggle against an imperialist power bent on subjugation.

The clans of the Island of Caedellium must gird themselves for what is to come. If they can't unite to a degree previously unimaginable, they will fall into the bottomless abyss of lost history. Their strengths are their determination, bravery, potentially new allies, and a single man with a mysterious history. The options are simple: victory, death, enslavement.

Yozef Kolsko may have transformed from who he had been on Earth, but did the trials he has undergone produced a savior some of his adopted people see him as or is he an illusion? The crucible of fate is about to yield a final product, but is the result enough against a formidable enemy?

Wow. Just Wow. What a truly great series. A fantastic combination of author and performer, who together literally breathe life into the epic tale of Joseph Koltho. I can't say enough good things about this series. Ther are no flaws, no hiccups, it is simply one of the best series I have ever listened to. Most highly recommended, but listen to the SERIES in ORDER!
( I kindof hope there are more sequels, but if not, this is a fine ending! )

Book 4 just as great as the previous 3!

Would you listen to Forged in Fire again? Why?

I was carried away into a world where good things regularly happened. My mood was uplifted each day I listened to the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Joseph captured wonderful people as friends and maintained these relationships in a new life of continuing growth, come hardship or joy.

What does Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Aside from the benefit of listening over reading giving you the advantage of free hands, eyes available for life, the narration quality gives both sexual perspective and emotional ques you might not feel if just reading the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What irreducible desires, truths, skills, make us human, on ANY planet we inhabit.
