Product Description

Product Description

When the forces of the Imperium are defeated by Chaos, Grey Knight Alaric is captured and taken back to a daemon world in the Eye of Terror. Stripped of his armour and weapons, he is forced to fight as a gladiator for his daemonic masters, who worship their god Khorne with endless slaughter. Can our hero find a way to escape before he is either killed or turned into a monster himself?

3.0 out of 5 stars Predictable yet diverting, 24 Feb 2008
By Mr. I. S. Clements (U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While this doesn't stand up to the earlier Gray Knights books, and the storyline is basically a flat line, it's still well written and exciting in places. Mostly, the problem is what I've coined 'the chaos effect', in that books set exclusively on a chaos world can become monotonous quite quickly due to the repetitive descriptions of blood, torture, death, evil, blood, blood - a problem also suffered by Dead Sky, Black Sun by Graham McNeill.

While the descriptions of chaos can sometimes be quite intricate, this will be an uncomfortably simple story for some, but those who can put aside desire for a winding, multi-faceted plot will find an enjoyable tale of good vs evil. I would have given this four stars if not for some shocking typos later in the book, not half as bad as some I've seen in self-published work but they shouldn't have made it into a professionaly produced novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Character Grows, 4 May 2008
By James Minahan (Cornwall, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a big fan of the Grey Knight books although i was put off from this book by some reviews i read about it. Its true this book leads away from the others which drew heavy into squad based team work to take down swarms of deamons but where this book leaves that it moves into the development of Alaric

As Alaric is torn from his battle brothers and thrown onto a world in the Eye of the Storm where he is forced to fight and learn what the Grey Knights do not teach in their training and give up the structured text book codes of combat that is drilled into his head and delve deep into the art of combat to not only survive but to defeat the Deamon Lords of the world who imprisoned him but defeated him before

Though this book isnt like the others it really shows the development of Alaric. I enjoyed this book and finished it quicker then the other two books combined. Not the taste for everyone but i enjoyed it none the less and look forward to see how this experience has shaped him as a Grey Knight in any books that follow

I thought that the book wasn't well written. The Storyline was good but they could have done more with it. Its quite boring and predictable, unlike most warhammer books. Read more
