Rogues of the Black Fury Taschenbuch – 29. April 2014

Englisch Ausgabe von Travis Heermann (Autor)
4,3 von 5 Sternen 80 Sternebewertungen
When a band of shadowy fanatics abducts Javin Wollstone's sister, Bella, from his care, his family's only hope to bring her home is turning to a hard-bitten band of mercenaries, the Black Furies, led by Commander Rusk. Javin follows Rusk and his men through a maze of political intrigues, religious fanaticism, and centuries of distrust. Little do they know that Bella Wollstone could be the spark that sets off a war of Armageddon. Across trackless, pirate-infested seas and into ancient lands of prophets and priest-kings, Javin and the Black Furies pursue Bella's captors into the teeth of the serpent, trying to snatch her back before the beast swallows her forever. Javin finds himself torn between his genteel, noble upbringing, the scars of war, and the raw, brutal necessity of what he must do to save her life.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Military fantasy with loads of action
    Bewertet in den USA am11. Mai 2021

    This story reminded me a lot of Nick Thomas's Craven series.

    The setting is a sort of analog to Christianity v Islam. It woupd have been better with this being less obvious. It sort of feels like a far future after a cataclysm with tech rising to 18th century or a alternate history or earth etc.

    Has a good balance of men and women lead characters. It sort of feels like there was previous stories to this novel with the Commander Rusk.

    The plot is good and the heroes aren't Mary Sue superhumans. Lots of action. Very special forces in a previous era as elite soldiers try and free a kidnapped character.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen A rollicking adventure & dark fantasy story
    Bewertet in den USA am21. Oktober 2012

    OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS: Rogues Of The Black Fury by Travis Heermann was a book that attracted my attention for a couple of reasons namely that it seemed to be a standalone and the blurbs promised a dark adventure ride. It seems the first reason is partly wrong and the second one is absolutely correct.

    The story is set in a secondary fantasy world wherein two nations Cusca and Fartha have been warring with each other for generations and now are in an uncomfortable stalemate. The world is set in a time wherein firearms have been recently invented and yet to become the primary weapon. The main character is Javin Wollstone, son of Janus Wollstone who is the most powerful general in the land of Cusca. The plot opens with Javin and his sister Bella enjoying a play and that's when disaster strikes as men from his own unit (the Blue Dragons) abduct Bella and leave everyone shell shocked. Janus Wollstone is forced to think of the impossible and hire the company of mercenaries known as the Black Furies to find and bring back his daughter.

    Captain Rusk is the leader of this team and his competency and coarseness are both legendary along with his team's exploits in the previous battles. He has though been tasked with the task of finding Bella but with a caveat that Javin join the Black Furies in this task. The story is then set as to whether Javin is successful in joining the Black Furies as well rescue Bella. This book has some strong points in regards to an action-packed plot, strong paced plot as well as some good twists.

    This book has a very robust plot that is very akin to a thriller and at several moments in the book, I almost forgot that this was a fantasy book. The book has a very low-key magic role however just when you think that its not there, a plot twist or reveal occurs to remind you about its presence. This book manages to showcases a geo-political conflict that is very reminiscent of the Crusades and shows a world wherein war has sundered the lives to both sides. The book's pace is such that the reader is constantly flipping pages. Also the characterization is done decently and shows a varied cast of characters however not all of them get a chance to shine. It also has a rousing adventure story that makes for a fascinating read and also keeps the reader's distracted from some of the drawbacks of the story.

    The main drawback of the story was that the story has two sides fighting over a theological issue, which is very reminiscent of the troubles mirroring Christianity & Islam. Also the villains in this book rather closely mirror the Islamic villain stereotypes as seen in books by Brad Thor & Vince Flynn. Perhaps the author had intended to lampoon such a stereotype showcased in most books however the villains rather are too close cut to those stereotypes for it to seem satirical. The book also doesn't showcase much of the world's back history and therefore is rather low on the world-building front. This perhaps was done on purpose as to help keep the book as fast paced as it is currently.

    This was a fun read with a single fault for me. Perhaps for most this drawback might not be such a big point as it will depend on their individualistic perspective. I would heartily recommend Rogues Of The Black Fury to readers who want a rollicking read choc-a-bloc with pace, action and adventure. Give it a read and I think you will not be disappointed.

    The story read like and the characters sounded like something out of a Dick Marcinko novel. If that appeals to you also then you will enjoy the read.

    Book 1 had errors throughout and was a fun read. The plot and characters are developed well. The plot was a bit predictable, but had a few good twists in the mix. The characters are interesting, but can get confusing at times depending on what is going on. The book wraps up nicely, but could continue on to another book.
