Four Horsemen Tales #2
Weaver
A Tortantula and a Flatar. The most enigmatic teaming in the mercenary guild, it’s also a perfect pairing, where one’s strengths cover the other’s weakness. Raised together from birth, their lives are a brutal series of tests. From the moment they’re thrust together, they are forced to kill their own kind just to survive. No excuses, no mercy, no room for failure. Succeed…or die.
Azah isn’t like most other female Tortantula; she’s much smaller and made fun of constantly. No one expects her to survive, much less succeed, but she’s still given a chance and assigned a Flatar: Sadek. The two quickly bond and find they complement each other. Against all odds, they survive the breeding dome and join the ranks of their races’ mercenaries.
But Azah begins to exhibit some extremely odd abilities, and everything changes. When Sadek uncovers a plan to manipulate the Tortantula breeding program, he’s unable to determine what their goals are…only that they have plans for Azah. Powerless to stop their shadowy machinations, the two know one thing: they want to stay together ‘Zha Oort’—until the ending.
But Fate is calling, and Fate doesn’t care what anyone wants.

About the author
Kacey Ezell
79 books106 followersKacey Ezell was born in South Dakota in 1977. Her parents joined the US Air Force in 1984, and she grew up around the world on various military bases. When she was seven, her mother gave her a copy of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragondrums, and shortly thereafter, Kacey decided that she wanted to be a dragonrider when she grew up. In 1999, she followed her parents into the “family business” and graduated from the United States Air Force Academy before going to pilot training. As dragons were in short supply at the time, she reasoned that flying aircraft was the next best thing. She earned her wings in 2001, and has over 2500 hours in the UH-1N and Mi-17 helicopters.
From the time she was a small child, Kacey made up stories to tell to her friends and family. In 2009, while deployed to Iraq, she wrote the military-themed supernatural story “Light”, which was accepted for publication in the Baen Books anthology Citizens. She was asked to consult on John Ringo’s 2015 novel Strands of Sorrow, and wrote the cover story for the Black Tide Rising anthology set in Ringo’s zombie apocalypse universe. That story, “Not in Vain” was selected for inclusion in the “Year’s Best Military SF and Adventure Fiction” anthology produced by Baen Books.
In addition, she’s written a story called “Gilded Cage” for the Four Horsemen Universe anthology A Fistful of Credits, and her story “Family Over Blood” will be included in the upcoming Forged In Blood anthology set in Michael Z. Williamson’s Freehold Universe.
She and Christopher L. Smith are currently collaborating with John Ringo on a new post-apocalyptic steampunk trilogy from Baen.
Kacey writes science fiction, fantasy, horror, noir, romance… etc. fiction. She lives with her husband, two daughters, and two cats.

I obtained this book through the Kindle Unlimited program.
Confession: I am a human. Therefore, when I read stories about aliens killing humans, I don't root for the aliens. In addition, spiders are killing/eating machines, and I was so very glad when I discovered the biological limitations to their size; that meant that they were NEVER going to be the unstoppable people-gobblers of the scary movies.
Nonetheless, Ezell and Wandrey combine their talents to make this story of giant spiders and their bad-tempered, heavily armed furred companions appeal to my sense of justice, as well as hooking my sympathies.
The shared universe has grown LARGE over the course of the past 18 months, and I've lost count. It is my INTENT to read everything they put out, until they mess it up. Well, they haven't yet. However, the sheer volume of books they have published, and the fact that I review OTHER books as well, make it a bit too difficult for me to easily recall the volume in which we first meet the Tortantula on a personal level, rather than as a battle foe. As I was searching my wetware, though, I imagined some future academic, painstakingly detailing the character arc, much as fans of Sherlock Holmes can tell you in which stories vegetable products are featured. I will leave the research to them, but I WILL point out that the book counts as significant back story.
It doesn't rely on that for its' appeal, though. The way I see it, the action/combat sequences provide the most vivid aspects to the story, but there is a deeper, brooding series of bullying, intimidation, betrayal, and subtle threats which set us up to believe that you can't prosper in this world, just by being good at doing your job. Job competence, in this case, bringing mayhem, is a necessary but not sufficient factor. There are too many covert plots running for a hapless spider/rabid chipmunk combination to be able to do their jobs and go home at the end of the day and eat lasagna for dinner, watch a movie, and retire to a well-earned rest.
So, what will give Azah, the spider, and Sadek, the chipmunk, the edge they need to survive? The answer (always) is LOVE. Yup, that's right. Their affection for each other begins to grow, shortly after they meet, until they become as close as any two beings can get (no sex is involved, though, so don't worry about THAT).
Loyalty, courage, and the determination to do the right thing emerge from that first basic interaction, and it carries them much farther than they ever would have gotten otherwise.
ANYBODY can show us a kitten playing with a ball of string, and falling off a couch, and make us feel all warm and fluffy inside. That's easy, and it happens thousands of times on Facebook every day. Ezell and Wandrey, however, manage to pull off something that I would have bet against, and that's to make us care for these characters, dripping fangs and all.
The multitude of conspiracies in the background can form the basis for any number of new works, but with respect to the main characters, no more is needed, PROVIDED that you access the work that first brought the Tortantula up close and personal. And I will leave that as an exercise for the reader.
NOTE: Still waiting for the appendix describing the characteristics of the different species.

If I had known what this book was about, I probably wouldn’t have read it. Yeah, that’s kind of harsh, but this isn’t a normal book. The first book of this series, “Legend” by Christopher Woods, was what I expected and what I had expected this book to continue to be about. It wasn’t and I should have known that since the authors were totally different. My bad. But, if you’re going to have the same series title, then I think you should continue with that story-line and not jump so far astray.
The only reason I finished this book, is because the writing was very, very good! And that is the most surprising thing about the book. If you choose to read this book, look at the cover picture very closely. That’s what the book is about. You’ll see a small furry thing sitting on a giant spider. That furry thing looking like a cross between a cat and a wombat, is a Flatar and the giant spider is a Tortantula, we ran across one of those in the first book. And that’s what this whole story is about! This isn’t anything resembling a human military science fiction story, but it is kind of good.
It starts in the beginning as every book should, where the Flatar, who’s name is Sadek and the Tortantula, who’s name is Azah are both babies, very intelligent babies. Their initial home is the nesting place of Azah. Her nest mother and her siblings are there and they are making it a difficult time for Azah. See, Azah is a runt, the smallest of the brood and one that probably should have been destroyed at birth. But she wasn’t so now she has to start out just like any other Tortantula and that mean pairing off with a Flatar. Sadek kind of knows what he’s supposed to do, but Azah is just hungry. She’s attacked by one of her sisters and immediately finds out she knows how to kill. She thinks nothing of killing her sister and then eating what remains, in fact, Tortantulas will eat just about anything of flesh and blood!
So, Sadek and Azah form a team which is how these two aliens normally live. They form a strong bond since they are thrown together at birth and are taught from that moment on how to act as a team in everything they do. They go to special schools later in live and learn how to read and write and to do other things including how to fight with weapons. It turns out that both the Flatar and Tortantula are a mercenary alien species. Fighting as a pair is their speciality and they are very, very dangerous. Even the humans don’t want to tangle with this pair no matter how much armor the human may be wearing. Still, they can be killed so one looks out for the other. Their bond grows over time so much so that they can’t be without each other for long periods. You’ll read about this bonding and the entire life of a Flatar and Tortantula pair in all it’s gory details. Still, the writing is very good because it kept me interested along enough that I finished a book I would otherwise never have started.
I’m going to make sure I read the previous of any more Four Horsemen Tails.

Set in the same literary universe as 'Legend' (book 1 in 'Four Horsemen Tales'). 'Weaver' follows a presumably new cast of characters with no to limited (assuming this tortantula and flatar couple is the same as in 'Legend''s mercenary band) crossover with the characters of the 'Legend'. Exploring the infamous mercenary pairing of otherwise prey and predator couple, of a tortantula and a flatar.
The MC is an underdog tortantula, being bullied by all for her below average size in her version of closed ecosystem project. Embodying the survival of the fittest, MC balances on primitive instincts, the inbred biological bonding to flatar partner and her sharp wit to survive and escape from under the big brother's nose.
Binging the 'Four Horsemen Tale's and starting 'Weaver' straight after having finishing the 'Legend', with it's leading ending with open questions still in mind, it was an unpleasant surprise to learn 'Weaver' doesn't continue the same story, neither of the mercenary band's, nor legend's, nor humanity's perspective.
Conclusion: 2/5. Listened on Audible included in plus catalogue. Narrated by: Cris Dukehart.
'Weaver' shares little in common with Legend (book 1 in the 'Four Horsemen Tales'). It's neither prequel nor sequel, purely set in the same universe. Judging Weaver as a standalone work, the cast of mostly non-humanoid extraterrestrial offers rarely explored points of view. However, for an alien POV story is too vanilla and human, at times resulting in cringe, when a character is battling whatever passes for an alien's inner demon equivalent, think, inside you there are two wolves meme. Terrible value for the length of the book - 4.00 $/hour ( 29.99$ / 07 hrs 30 mins ).
Values:
Terrible: >1.66 $/hour
Bad: 1 - 1.66 $/hour
Good: <1 $/hour

This is a full length novel that tells the origin of a single character, Oort, the tortantular from the Winged Hussars. Azah is born a small tortantular, but she's highly intelligent, and along with her flatar partner, Sadek, they survive their first year together by being smarter than most of the others born at the same time.
Eventually, they get training to become assault troopers, meant to guide the feral tortantulars that a little more than savage beasts to their targets. They survive their first mercenary contract, and get sent to a covert actions team. Hiding their shared secret, they eventually end up in a major battle, only for Sadek to be killed.
Azah goes mad, and wants to die, so she gets sold to fight in the gladiator slave pits. Another flatar turns up, jumps into the pit to fight beside her, and helps her escape, and they head off together to join the WInged Hussars.
There's nothing special about the story, it's the classic tale of two soldiers who meet up in boot camp, become best buddies, and fight together until one or the other gets killed, and then the survivor swears revenge and goes on to become the bestest fighter in the world.. Sure, it gives you a lot of backstory about the flatar and tortantula, and the fact that the veetanho control them.
There's just one single piece in the story that is important.

Web of intrigue!
Another excellent tale in the four hotsemen universe!
This started of as a short in one of the Compllation books(Can't remember which one - so read all 3), this carries on and gives us a great insight into the Tortantulas and the Flatar society but this story also weaves in Thaddeus Cartwright and the Winged Hussars! It is also connected to a previous novel, so i'm left dangling on a string of silk as to what happens next with this particular Tortantula!

It was really cool to see from the giant spiders POV
Well not giant, but they seem so fierce in battle and the Legend spoke of them as horrible so I was really surprised to see how they grow up and how they really don’t have much choice in their lives.. lots of mysteries that hopefully in the upcoming books will unravel more! I so wanted the Legend to show up lol but hey it was still AMAZING!

Excellent!
Training a Tortantula/Flatar pair to command an assault unit takes years, as the two are raised together from birth. Azah is smaller than a typical female, but at least as deadly, and Sadek's talents complement hers. They become an unusual but very effective team.
If you're already familiar with the Four Horsemen universe, and don't freak out at the thought of giant spiders, you will enjoy this book.

Beautiful story from a unique point of view. Mark Wandrey is the master craftsmen of this universe, and this time he's partnered with Kacey Ezell, a master at tugging your heartstrings. Together they've woven (see what I did there) an exquisite tale of two vastly different creatures partnered to make the perfect mercenary team, but who're also slowly learning more about those who're pulling their strings.
July 15, 2018
I would not have believed that anyone could make a story about spiders enjoyable, but Kacey and Mark did an outstanding job here. Enjoyed the entire book and especially the twist at the end, which I was kind of expecting, but it went off in a completely different direction! Well written, great characterizations. Recommended for anyone who likes a great story!

Giant spider warriors and their partners
Another excellent book from the author describing an alien race of warriors in the Four Horseman universe. The book had an ending I didn’t see coming, but certainly made sense. I’m looking forward to more from Ms Ezell and her take on this universe.

Great first 90% and then boom
I enjoyed the first 90 present The book follows a well worn, stable plot line with a few hints at something deeper then... Ends. No rel reason just ends. Imagine reading a James bond novel with a plug and just at the end he gets into an elevator and the can't breaks for no real reason killing him. Not very satisfying.

Good story
An interesting take told from the perspective of a Flatar and Torantula. It takes them from the mindless killers in the other Horseman books to telling sentient beings who are being manipulated by the Venitoo. Making them sympathetic characters that you want to cheer for.

I wasn't expecting to like a book about a giant battle spider and her battle raccoon friend but it turns out I'm a big softie and was cheering them on the whole way.
Definitely a fun read. Don't wanna say anything more because of spoilers though. I suck at talking about stories and their characters without spoilers. >.>

A worthwhile spinoff/prequel with interesting characters, action, and new details relevant to the main storyline. The writing is a little wonky in places (mainly the humans), but is infrequent enough to be overlooked. I really don't like how the series is being structured though, it makes it very hard to recommend when each "series" doesn't necessarily follow chronology or a single plot thread.

Read this unique perspective!
Excellent book!
It takes truly talented writers to evoke sympathy for a 10 legged nightmare that is the size of a tank. Kacey and Mark manage this as they weave this story which adds to the extraordinary world building. No spoilers! Read it. You will not be sorry.

A strange love story
I have read all of the 4HU sagas so far and I hope they NEVER end. I know, all good things and all that but a person can always hope and all that. This was a wonderful team and they did an outstanding job. I hope they will continue to work together.

19 Sadly, I spent about an hour reading this book hoping that it would gather apace.. But no. It stayed plodding. It is written in the manner of a YA despite some of the ‘killing’ scenes. So unable to recommend to the normal crew.
June 9, 2024
Ezell provides us with some wonderfully likable characters, including a giant killer spider. Although there were still some loose ends left at book's end, I enjoyed it and feel it was well worth the long wait I had to go through to get a copy.

Loved it!
I can't get enough of the Four Horsemen universe. It's just a fun, fast paced and exciting read. So much fun imagining other species thoughts and emotions.

This entertaining tale provides new insight to one of the more enigmatic races of the 4HU Universe. A must read for any 4HU fan.

A side story (eventually related to the Winged Hussars arc) about an 'odd' couple in the 4HU. Good work from Kacey and Mark.

Good story but strange
How do you relate to a giant carnivorous Spider like creature? In this book you will😱😱😄😄
Oh I forgot there is a minimum number of characters

Excellent book. Probably 4-star as a standalone, but 5-star as part of the series.

Loved this book loved the characters, enjoyed the story and I passionately hate spiders
Thought this was a continuation of book 1 but instead it’s a complete different world and story

Love, live, love this author. This book is one of my faves in the four horsemen series so far. Fascinating and fresh story line, but I need a sequel!
December 29, 2023
The development of the dreaded Flatar and Tortantula team up. Maybe they aren't so bad. A weird and delightful ride either way.
September 27, 2022
Its nice to have some backstory on various mercs.
Reread this one.
Since this was one of my earlier reads in the side-story series, I didn't have a lot of context in the 4 Horsemen Universe when I first read this.
Having read several more books in the Universe (close to 70), what seemed like background moments then are pretty significant now.
Reread this one.
