Almost word for word sadly - not recommended - just look at the original house of the dragon book.

Historia
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: The Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds. With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption.

Joe Abercrombie leads this genre

This series got me into fantasy/grim dark and I’ve never looked back. Get this book! Characters are witty, battles are gory, the twists keep coming. Just. Wow. This 3rd in the series is amazing in every detail measured.

IMO these 2 are the best in this genre - dark fantasy lots of action, enemy perspective, so well written, magic not overdone.

Historia
Red Country: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old stepfather Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country the past never stays buried.

Joe is #1 in SF Fantasy
Revisado: 01-27-21
The guy is simply the best writer out there, so detailed but so much violence. Political intrigue, surprises only the great George RR could imagine, oh and more violence. The heroes like video game characters, with jaw-clenching, heart ripped out of your chest strength, the magicians real magicians. A 10/10 on every scale and Pacey is a master also. Dive in (......also book track distracting at first then great).

Historia
The sequel to the number one Audible Best Seller Earthcore, Mount Fitz Roy continues the tale of Patrick O’Doyle and Bertha Lybrand, who were part of the horror show that occurred far below the mountains of Utah. They learn that the "mother of all motherlodes” discovered there was not unique, that there is another deposit similar to it three miles beneath the towering peak of Cerro Chaltén on the disputed border between Chile and Argentina. O'Doyle, a middle-aged former member of a disgraced black-ops unit, gets his aging team back together to go after this fortune.

Going on 1000 books and Earthcore and Mt Fitz Roy are too of my favorites. Love the new take on aliens, it is refreshing, and Ray Porter excels as always. He is the eminent SF narrator and does every character justice. Bravo!

Historia
After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar’s crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move. Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin’s scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals.

Historia
Once a member of the king's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevauvais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child. He’s astonished - and wary - when the Prince Bishop orders him to find and destroy a dragon. He and the Prince Bishop have never exactly been friends, and Gill left the capital in disgrace five years ago. So why him? And, more importantly, how is there a dragon to fight when the beasts were hunted to extinction centuries ago by the ancient Chevaliers of the Silver Circle?

Revisado: 11-07-20
Write from the POV of the dragon or the enemy (see Rodorf in the Wolfric series)... this is the only way to write. Too much SF is written from good guy POV see just about anything read by RC Bray and that’s garbage even if the character is flawed. 5/5 to everything Duncan Hamilton

Historia
Every man serving in Vietnam was "Every Mother's Son". In 1968, the Marine helicopter crews during the 77-day Siege of Khe Sanh risked everything every day to keep the surrounding Marine hill positions alive and viable. The North Vietnamese Army committed more than 20,000 troops to destroying the Marine hill positions and the Khe Sanh Combat Base. The small Marine outposts were transformed into highly effective kill zones, as the enemy slammed the landing zones with rockets, mortars, artillery, and automatic weapons fire.

The wells been running dry on Vietnam memoirs but I want to assure any vet reading this that we do care, we do want to hear your stories. This one is well written, gives more background from the soldiers eye on khe sahn, and has a great narrator. Excellent work!

Historia
In the grand tradition of John Keegan's enduring classic The Face of Battle comes a searing, unforgettable chronicle of war through the eyes of the American soldiers who fought in three of our most iconic battles: Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, and Iwo Jima. This is not a book about how great generals won their battles, nor is it a study in grand strategy. Men of War is instead a riveting, visceral, and astonishingly original look at ordinary soldiers under fire.

One of the best
Revisado: 10-24-20
Literally in the soldiers shoes, all the action recounted. One of my favorites bc it isn’t just regiments moving around on a map. Macro view is not what I’m looking for. Excellent job giving just enough overview and the gritty details. Well written great narrator.
