Portadas de Sharp Ends, colección de Joe Abercrombie

Aquí os traigo las portadas de la edición inglesa y americana de Sharp Ends, la colección de relatos cortos de Joe Abercrombie. Después de leer su relato “Tough Times All Over” confieso que siento mucha curiosidad por el resto de su obra corta.

Sharp-Ends-FC Abercrombie_SharpEnds-HC.jpgThe Union may be full of bastards, but there’s only one who thinks he can save the day single-handed when the Gurkish come calling: the incomparable Colonel Sand dan Glokta.

Curnden Craw and his dozen are out to recover a mysterious item from beyond the Crinna. Only one small problem: no one seems to know what the item is.

Shevedieh, the self-styled best thief in Styria, lurches from disaster to catastrophe alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, Lioness of Hoskopp.

And after years of bloodshed, the idealistic chieftain Bethod is desperate to bring peace to the North. There’s only one obstacle left – his own lunatic champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine . . .

Sharp Ends combines previously published, award-winning short tales with exclusive new short stories. Violence explodes, treachery abounds, and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this rogue’s gallery of side-shows, back-stories, and sharp endings from the world of the First Law.
