5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good., 8 April 2009
I was surprised at just how good this novel really is, not really being a fan of Warhammer I was a bit weary start this new trilogy, but I'm glad that I did. McNeil has created an amazingly vivid world filled with great evils and greater heroes, his writing skill is very good and you can feel yourself being pulled into the world he has created. You can imagine the Ork armies as they mass at Black Fire Pass and hissing of arrows over head, this to me is the difference between a good author and a great one. The battle scenes are vivid and bloody with action and adventure abound.

Signar is the Prince of the Unbergoen, he dreams of one day uniting the troublesome world of men and creating an Empire that will be a force for good in the world and also a force the will fight the chaos that spreads throughout the land. But first he must survive the hordes of Orcs and Goblins that wish to destroy the world of men, he must survive assassins and betrayal, only then may his dreamed come true.

If you love Fantasy then this is a great piece of Fantasy fiction that will make you hungry to read the next two books in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something a bit different, 12 Jan 2009
By T. Brown (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a big fan of warhammer the story of the coming of sigmar was one that was of a lot of interest to me. Inspired by how much i have enjoyed the horus heresy series so far i decided to read heldenhammer.

The main character is obviously Sigmar Heldenhammer, the man who will one day become like a god to the people of the emperor. I was a bit worried with how this was going to be written, but once i started i realised i needn't have been. It is written just like the story of any other man, getting into his emotions and troubles, all the while set against the time of a troubled land where men are divided and set against each other for power.

A good interesting book, with a collection of realistic and inspiring characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book One of the Sigmar Trilogy, 10 Jul 2009
By Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
As our story opens, Prince Sigmar Heldenhammer of the Unberogen tribe is about to ride into battle and earn his shield. Earn it he does, but he also loses his close friend and sword brother, Trinovantes. Gerreon, twin brother of Trinovantes, blames Sigmar for this brother's death in battle and plots for future vengeance.

Eventually, Sigmar becomes king. Wielding the mighty hammer Ghal-maraz, the Splitter of Skulls, Sigmar is determined to fulfill his dream of uniting all the tribes of man into one empire. This is the story of how young Sigmar brings together most of those tribes and brings all the others to their knees. For Sigmar, failure to accomplish his great quest of unity is not an option. Should Sigmar fail, all of man dies.

***** FIVE STARS! This tale captured my interest immediately as Sigmar catches two young boys sneaking into an area they do not belong. Prince Sigmar's character came across to me as brave, thoughtful, and fair. As king, Sigmar grew into so much more.

Since this is the first of a trilogy, not all loose ends are tied. Defeated enemies will regroup for future attacks. This story mainly explains how this wise prince becomes king and brings together the tribes to form a single empire of man. The dwarfs are by Sigmar's side almost from the beginning of the story. Each battle is tougher and bloodier than the last as they battle orcs, goblins, raiders, and more. But it is the last battle that will take your breath away as it seals the fate of all mankind. An astounding tale to be long remembered. *****
