Publisher Description
In his acclaimed Codex Alera novels, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher has created a fascinating world of elemental magic. Now, as enemies become allies, and friends become bitter foes, a danger beyond reckoning looms for all... After two years of bitter conflict with the hordes of invading Canim warriors, Tavi of Calderon, now Captain of the First Aleran Legion, realizes that a peril far greater than the Canim exists—the mysterious threat that drove the savage Canim to flee their homeland. Tavi proposes attempting an alliance with the Canim against their common foe, but his warnings go unheeded. For the Senate’s newly-appointed military commander has long desired to wipe out the Canim “scourge,” and their slave allies. Now, Tavi must find a way to overcome centuries-old animosities if an alliance is to be forged, and he must lead his legion in defiance of the law, against friend and foe—or none will have a chance of survival...

"Awesome book...I had to go to a different website to actually go and read it. But in the end it was a really good book and I am glad that I have read all the others before it. So now I am moving on to the next book. (princeps fury) and I just know that that will also be a very good read due to the fact that Jim butcher has written a lit of very good books and I have not been disappointed in his work yet....so everybody wish me luck on finishing the rest of the Jim butcher collection"

Quotes

“Sharp tactical plotting, hazardous cross-country travel, and a dash of sardonic humor mark Butcher’s fourth Codex Alera novel…Butcher deftly deploys intrigue, conflicted loyalties, and hairbreadth action to excellent effect. Few writers balance military realism and cinematic swashbuckling with so much skill or wit. Series fans will welcome the revelation of Tavi’s long-secret heritage and the strong climaxes resolving most of the immediate conflicts, while newcomers will have no trouble navigating the well-developed landscape.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Kate Reading seems like an odd choice to narrate a story about grim barbarians who are fighting a war in a magical age. Yet it quickly becomes clear that she’s the perfect choice to read Captain’s Fury…Somehow she sounds as natural as the voice of an elfin magician as she does delivering the voice of a barbarian warlord.”

Captain's Fury Listener Reviews
-
" I'm making my way through the whole series and it us quickly becoming one of my favorite. "
— moose, 12/22/2018 -
" Captain's Fury got better and better as I read it. We learn some fantastic things about Tavi, Isana, Araris and Gaius Sextus as it goes along. The interaction is fairly fast-moving and the climax was worth the time it took to get there. As always, it ends wide open for the next book in the series. There will be a next book, right, Jim?? Don't let us down... "
— Jeff, 2/18/2014 -
" The difficulties Tavi faces continue to push him to improve and the way that the characters around him support his actions while maintaining their personalities speaks to a strong author. "
— Jordan, 2/12/2014 -
" The book continues the storyline quite well. The structure of all the books is quite similar with a big buildup for the final confrontation and a big event for the main character. The story continues in Princept's Fury. "
— Mario, 2/7/2014 -
" The Codex Alera series gets better and better with each book. I'm completely hooked! Jim Butcher has created a richly detailed world with powerful, well-drawn characters, a continuously emerging backstory, complex mythology, vicious political scheming, and yes, even romance and family drama. I can't wait to see where the story -- and our hero -- go next. "
— Lisa, 1/24/2014 -
" While not quite as brilliant as the third book in this series, it was still by far an awesome book and quite a page turner. "
— Erinn, 1/15/2014 -
" Love love love! Tavi is becoming an increasingly deep character, and I'm loving watching him grow. "
— Melissa, 1/3/2014 -
" The story continues to be engaging and full of action. The narrator doesn't do the story justice but the story is strong enough to override the weak narration. "
— Rae, 1/1/2014 -
" This whole series is just so awesome, I enjoy every page! "
— Rachael, 12/28/2013 -
" Great listen on audio books. "
— Anne, 12/7/2013 -
" This book is more Tavi heavy than the previous books and thus (I found) a bit harder to get into, but it did get fun. "
— Thracer, 9/28/2013 -
" Not as good as Cursor, but still good. "
— James, 7/31/2013 -
" once again, jim butcher has written a page turner. this series will appeal to both men and women alike. "
— Kristie, 7/14/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book. Being the SciFi/Fantasy dork that I am it had all the elements of a good book I was looking for. If you are considering this book, it is book 4 of a series. The otheres are Furies of Calderon, Academ's Fury, and Cursor's Fury, all by Jim Butcher. "
— Garret, 7/3/2013 -
" This is a fun, exciting, fantasy with a twist on magic that gives it more of a technical spin rather than a mystical slant. The author's skill in setting up incredibly dire circumstances with exhilarating victories. "
— Don, 6/11/2013 -
" Another 2 years down the track sees Tavi firmly established as a Captain, these last few novels really have been my favourites they cover all of the awkward coming of age scenes that I just devour. "
— Minh, 2/6/2013 -
" The Canim are freaking awesome! "
— Taylor, 4/12/2012 -
" And this wonderfully engaging fantasy saga continues. Nothing like throwing pirates into the already cumbustible mix of humans, alien race and the planet's own elemental "Furies." The adventures of Tavi and his companions continues in fine style. "
— Karen, 2/12/2012 -
" This series continues to improve with every book. Seems kind of hard considering Volume 3 was SO good. And there are still two more to go. Sacrilige though it is, I almost think I enjoy these more than the Dresden books... Naw, not really, just a different flavor. Apples and oranges as it were. "
— Janice, 9/8/2011 -
" Good build up of change in character direction "
— Ronald, 9/2/2011 -

" Tarvi takes a place in a legion and quickly rises to command it. His skills in crafting begin to come in, and he declares himself the princep.<br/><br/>This is probably my favorite book in the series so far, and there are some definite moments that make you cheer for the characters. "
