You Die When You Die by Angus Watson (June 6, 2017 by Orbit)
Having enjoyed Watson’s Iron Age trilogy immensely, I was glad to learn he’ll be releasing the first of a brand new series this summer (West of West). It promises dark humor, visceral action, and a lot of blood…which sounds just about right, if you’ve read the author’s previous books! Plus just get a load of that title.
“YOU DIE WHEN YOU DIE . . .
You can’t change your fate – so throw yourself into battle, because you’ll either win or wake up drinking mead in the halls of your ancestors. That’s what Finn’s tribe believe.
But when their settlement is massacred by a hostile tribe and Finn and several friends, companions and rivals make their escape across a brutal, unfamiliar landscape, Finn will fight harder than he’s ever fought in his life. He wants to live – even if he only lives long enough to tell Thyri Treelegs how he feels about her.
The David Gemmell Award nominated author of Age of Iron returns with You Die When You Die – in which a mismatched group of refugees battle animals and monsters, determined assassins, depraved tribes, an unforgiving land and each other as they cross a continent to fulfil a prophecy.”

Old school travel across the land book. If the humor hits it could work. I missed Iron Age even though it should have been right up my alley.

Yeah, I actually thought you had read Iron Age. Because I would definitely say it’s a “you” trilogy.

I haven’t read Angus Watson but this is tempting. LOVE the cover! I like the fact that he’s holding an ax instead of a sword:-)

Yeah I know some folks don’t like the photo-realism covers, but I think they lend a grittiness which is perfect for a story like this.

Too much blood might be just… too much sometimes, but with a premise like this one – and such a powerful cover, to boot! – I don’t believe I could pass on this one… 😉
LikeLike
Yeah, his Iron Age trilogy was like that…very bloody and very violent to the point of upsetting sometimes. So yes, there’s a good chance this will be on the intense side too.

Well, I loved his first book – and though I haven’t caught up yet I will – this sounds amazing so it’s an incentive to finish the series.
