While on a quest to find magical treasure, the soldier of fortune discovers an artefact beyond his wildest dreams: the ancient armour of Bartuc, the legendary Warlord of Blood.

Having played the games before I knew of the places and characters descibed in detail in the book. Almost like reading about a place you have been, the book stays true to the game.
The story is spilt into the journey's of the charcters who's paths eventualy meet. The book never lets you put it down, you want to read more. Can't wait for the next one.

If you wish to spend a few hours engrossed in a medieval fantasy world full of sorcery and warriors and hordes of hellish creatures, this is definitely the book for you. If you're a fan of the game, you'll gush with pleasure as you see a familiar world brought to life through the words on the pages of this book!
I purchased this book along with others in the Diablo series just because I'm a fan of the game. Not all the books were good, but this one excels in all respects. A very gripping story coupled with very vivid story-telling make for a very enjoyable experience.
I started out as a fan of the game, and now I have been converted to Richard Knaak as well. My high opinion of the author was cemented by the 3rd book in the series, Kingdom of Shadow.
The story revolves around the legendary enchanted armour of Bartuc, the Warlord of Blood. The protagonist is unwittingly cast into the midst of an unpleasant adventure when a treasure-hunt goes horribly wrong. Will he survive the malice of the long-dead Warlord of Blood? Will he lose his identity and his soul? Will he prove to be the instrument of the destruction of the world? The pages unravel the story seamlessly, not losing it's grip on your attention for even a paragraph!
If you're a fan of the Diablo games, if you're into medieval fantasy, if you enjoy stories of adventure, this book will be a fantastic read. Definitely recommended!
