“Steven Pacey’s performance brings the story to life. Listeners will be on the edge of their seats.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Full of easy banter, dry humor delivered with excellent comedic timing, and tender moments of sapphic romance, this audiobook's memorable characters are expertly realized in Pacey's narration.”—AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)
A brand-new epic fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie, featuring a notorious band of anti-heroes on a delightfully bloody and raucous journey
Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds.
Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Sacred City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him. But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters. The mission he is tasked with will require bloody measures from them all in order to achieve its righteous ends.
Elves lurk at our borders and hunger for our flesh, while greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions and comfort. With a hellish journey before him, it's a good thing Brother Diaz has the devils on his side.
This program features original credits music.

Critic reviews
“The Devils is Joe Abercrombie at his best: exciting, witty, vicious. History buffs (like me!) will love the fantasy-historical setting overflowing with brilliant little details.”—Django Wexler, author of How to Become a Dark Lord and Die Trying
“Devilish fun, an unholy delight. Wielding his trademarked grit and stiletto-sharp prose, Abercrombie is at his bloody best weaving a tale of monstrous heroes who discover the humanity in themselves.”—Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Rising
“The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, the first in a new series, is ferociously imagined, and rumbles along with the unstoppable force of a city-burying avalanche. It's also frequently shout-out-loud-with-laughter funny. When it comes to big, shamelessly entertaining fantasy, Abercrombie is in a class of his own.”—Joe Hill, author of Heart-Shaped Box

In The Devils you become each character forced to do something you don't want to do for something you don't believe in, the converse or along any variation in between. With Pacey's masterful delivery of each character you see the world from unique perspectives. No matter where you are taken or for why, you get to experience it from the backseat of someone elses mind... a mind full of trauma, cynicism, self abasement and meglomania. As the characters are changed through their experiences so do the perspectives. The characters grow organically with their experiences adding more depth and dimension to not only them but the readers interpretation of the world.
True to Abercrombie's style, it is grim, humorous, a bit raunchy, cynical, full of gore and at times its a little offensive. Everything fun isn't, yet paradoxically the most fun you'll get out of a book all year.

Mike - while my initial concern has merit the story isn’t diminished by hanging on old tropes. Yes the story is set in a quasi Europe and we can easily conflate Venice with “Styria” from the first law map but hey why not? And yes the characters all have the same internal dialog as some of your favorite characters. But I really enjoyed the winks and nods in this self aware story. I will also congratulate Mr. Abercrombie of conjuring some new twists into the werewolf, elf, and vampire archetypes.
Lastly let’s not forget Mr. Pacey. You sir are a genius! You breathe life into these flawed humans like no other. Bravo on another performance - another home run.
Give it a go Mike, I think you’ll enjoy it
Joe and Steve done did it again Mike Rossi!
