After a short and bloody war on foreign soil, the Expeditionary
Army of Ashkent is preparing to return home. Captain Jon Forge and
his company, however, are assigned one more task - to oversee a
workforce of enslaved Bantusai tribesmen as they replace a long
lost bridge across the River Rooke, in the mountainous northern
borders. With construction already underway, a band of fleeing
trappers brings news of a fast approaching barbarian horde and
Forge quickly realises his de facto commander, the devious Duke
Burns, has send him and his men to their deaths. Despite the
overwhelming odds them, Forge decides to stay and fight, buying
time for the Ashkent Army to prepare for the coming invasion. With
the help of a motley crew that includes the enigmatic Bantusai, the
wily trappers and a lacklustre bureaucrat-cum-wizard named Portal,
Forge and his men hastily set about rebuilding a dilapidated fort
that stood guard over the river. Their doom, it seems, is
inescapable: their redoubt - a patched-up tower house - will surely
be their tomb... Redoubt is a hard-nosed fantasy in the tradition
of Joe Abercrombie and Glen Cook's Black Company series. Praise for
Redoubt Redoubt is a cracking fantasy adventure featuring a strong
plot and well-realised characters and locations. The pieces fit
together like dovetail-joints and the plain-speaking narrative fits
the story perfectly. Recommended. Fantasy Book Review
