The Malcontents are back in action!
Into the Wild, the new novel by acclaimed author Larry Correia, picks up the story begun in Correia’s previous entry in the series, Into the Storm.
Now under the leadership of the reluctant Lieutenant Kelvan Cleasby, the Sixth Platoon of Storm Knights has been ordered to accompany an archeological expedition from the Royal Cygnaran University deep into the Wyrmwall Mountains to investigate an ancient site of potentially great historical value. But what seems a simple enough assignment will rapidly turn into a test of the platoon’s survival skills – an abandoned fort, the lone survivor of a horrifying attack, and a ferociously territorial tribe may be more than even the Malcontents can handle.
Smack-you-upside-the-head PERFECT Well, Larry, you’ve brought the Iron Kingdoms to life AGAIN.Â
Great read I really enjoyed this, it’s well written with good dialog and the action flows. The length is just about right for an extended episode in a shared universe and it’s all good fun with bits Correia’s trademark humor. This is the second book in a series, but reading the first book isn’t necessary, although it does fill in the back story of the characters and explains some of the references.
Don’t bring a knife to a ‘jack fight Bought it this morning, had to spend all day reading it. As good advantage David Drake. Excellent story as well as conveying the responsibilities and costs of leadership.
