Product Description
Sigmar, the first Emperor, is a god amongst men, a peerless leader and an unbreakable warrior. Having defeated the Chaos invasion of Middenheim, the Empire knows a measure of peace. But in the vast deserts of Nehekhara, another empire is rising. Nagash, the most feared of necromancers, is determined to claim dominance over the Old World, crushing all before him with an unstoppable and nightmarish army. Legions of unnatural creatures swarm the Empire. Sigmar must defend the lands of the living from the hordes of the dead and prevent Nagash's terrible vision of power coming true.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fans of the Time of Legends series will have been biting at the bit to get their hands on this title by David Gemmell Legend Award Winner Graham McNeill's third part of the Sigmar Trilogy. Within is a tale deeply woven within the mythos of the Warhammer world and one where two of the world's heavyweights prepare to meet each other in a battle to the Death (or Undeath in one of the combatant's cases.)
Woven to the level that this title not only demands but deserves, Graham's prose alongside his almost eldritch ability to interweave a tale with known facts makes this one of his best books to date. Add a huge dollop of serious combat alongside massive bloodshed and you know that it's a battle that will have fans talking about it for ages.
Finally add to this some great dialogue as well as some seriously good battlefield humour and the reader will not leave this series disheartened, a serious reread may just be around the corner and to be honest with you, I started the whole series from scratch just so that I could relive the epic life of the Empires greatest hero.

As I say it was ok, actually it was pretty damn good, up until the end which I felt just lacked...something. Perhaps I was just overloaded by all the death and killing which went on for a long time, not that its a problem per-say Blood for the Blood god and all that jazz, but I did find myself skimming parts just for a bit of relief.
Also there was to much of the modern empire in the telling of the story, parts wouldn't look out of place in contemporary empire stories which I found annoying.
But still a worthy read when alls said and done.

Having patiently waited for the conclusion of the Sigmar trilogy to be released I eagerly opened and read this book upon arrival. I expected to enjoy this chapter of the story, and as always with the Black Library I was not disappointed. This story builds upon the previous books and shows the development of the protagonist from a leader of warriors and people in a newly flourishing empire, to an epic hero of myth. This final part of the trilogy maintained the same stylish action, as well as the realistic and emotive dialogue that had made the previous books so good to read, and so easy to become involved in. This is a real clash of the titans, and fans of the Warhammer universe will be delighted to see one of their fictional heroes given the send-off that he deserves.
