author:  Andy Remic 
description: For anyone who is missing their David Gemmell fix.<br /><b> iO9.com<br /></b><br />A worthy successor to the Gemmell crown.<br /><b> SFBook.com<br /></b><br />Praise and Reviews for <i>The Iron Wolves</i>:<br /><br />Remic delivers the goods for fans of stark brutality and violence in a fantasy setting.<br /><i> Publishers Weekly<br /></i><br />If you thought Theon Greyjoys castration scene in<i>A Game of Thrones</i>was a little restrained, then<i>The Iron Wolves</i>could be the epic fantasy potboiler for you Combining George RR Martin-inspired visceral violence with a touch of Slaine-style bombastic barbarism and a plot straight out of<i>The Lord of the Rings</i><br /><b></b><i>SFX</i><br /><br />Nothing is too outlandish for Andy Remic [<i>The Iron Wolves</i>is] glorious.<br /><b>Graemes SFF</b><br /><br />Add to the mix a good dollop of battlefield humour, a good handful of Howards style backed up with a stark descriptiveness and its a tale that gives Remic a firm footing within the genre.<br /><b> Falcata Times</b><br /><br />Andy Remic has to be given credit for his unflinching style which is certainly not for everyone. The action and gore levels are increased, while the characters are all tested and reveal more about themselves The action and snappy dialogue are all here. This book delivers exactly what its predecessor promised: the ability to bewitch the reader and to turn your expectations upside down.<br /><b>Fantasy Book Critic</b><br /><br />A worthy successor to the Gemmell crown.<br /><b> SFBook.com</b><br /><br />Fast paced, good action and an interesting cast of anti-heroes<br /><b>Fantasy Review Barn</b><br /><br />If Quentin Tarantino read a lot of <i>Heavy Metal</i> comics and played <i>Dungeons and Dragons</i> and decided hey, Im gonna write a book!, this is what he would write <i>The Iron Wolves</i> is a vicious, over the top violent, and thoroughly vulgar ripping bloodfest of a fantasy This book grabs you by various body parts and then punches you in the face when you try with all your weak little might to get loose.<br /><b>The Ghostworks</b><br /><br />Full of unlimited energy and madness, this book is perfect for readers looking for a stronger, headier kick to their epic fantasy; fans of bloody battles and gritty anti-heroes are in for a real treat<br /><b>Bibliosanctum</b><br /><br />not [for] the faint of heart, many will find its fast pace and gritty characters to be just to their liking.<br /><b>Heather McCorkle, Author of <i>Born on Fire</i>.</b><br /><br />Remic has a very precise way with descriptions of battles and fights and with weapons of every type (including head butts). The scenes leap and snort off the page, making the heart race with anticipation about their outcomes  The Iron Wolves seethes with action; indeed, it stomps across every page.<br /><b>Sharon Reamer, Author of the Schattenreich Books.</b><br /><br />It amazes me how an author that writes such brutal and straightforward stories can twist the neck of a plot so artfully  Andy Remic brings grit and realism to the fantasy genre in a fascinating and addictive way. This book is well worth a read and Im already looking forward to the next part.<br /><b>Tonys Thoughts</b><br /><br />Holy crap, but The Iron Wolves was a hell of a lot of fun! Its as if Robert E. Howard and Fritz Leiber reached out from beyond the grave to collaborate on the kind pulp fantasy they perfected, decided to take Stallones <i>The Expendables</i> as their inspiration, recruited Sam Raimi to direct the medieval mayhem, and then demanded that nothing short of the explicit, unrated directors cut make it into print.<br /><b>Bob Milne atBeauty in Ruins.</b><br /><br />As Ive come to expect from Mr Remic, the author doesnt shy away from describing the awfulness of the splicing process. In fact, be warned those with a nervous disposition, things veer off into the realms of body horror on a number of occasions. Its one of my favourite things about this particular authors writing. Nobody does brutal violent chaos better than Andy Remic.<br /><b> Paul Holmes,The Eloquent Page.</b><br /><br />So, a bloody, violent, vicious fantasy romp. If you like your fantasy full of elves, unicorns etc this may not be your thing but if you like getting up to your ears in blood, gore and nastiness youre in for a treat. On a final note, the very last scene in this book was not at all what I expected, and even now, five days after finishing it still hasnt left my thoughts. I am certainly looking forward to the next book. <br /><b>The Terror Tree</b>
