The men and women of the Tanith First-and-Only, a.k.a. Gaunt's Ghosts, knew that this would not be an easy task, but when are they ever easy? Trouble is what they do. Now they are on Jago, a fortress world built along the trailwards salient of the Cabal System. As others are thrown into areas where the fighting is already intense, Gaunt's Ghosts' objective is Hinzerhaus, a labyrinth house full of hidden passages, surprises, and possibly something supernatural. Though no one has set foot in Hinzerhaus for decades, if not a couple of centuries, the lights are still on. Dim, but on, the lights pulse as if in rhythm to its own heart beat. The Ghosts are to find, secure, and hold it. They are to deny any attempt by the enemy to enter or pass through the area.
Each member of the team begins hearing odd sounds. Echoes from people that do not exist. Ghostly footsteps seem to come up from behind them, pass, and then continue on down corridors. Teammates, long dead, show up to offer tactical advice, give a heads up on incoming fire, or leave small gifts. To make matters worse, the enemy seem to know all the hidden passages and use the information to set up ambushes. Lack of water is a major problem. Snipers keep attention to the areas and nowhere seems safe choppers to land and deliver the much needed water or ammo.
Commander Ibram Gaunt does his best to keep his people alive as the situation continually worsens. Dalin Criid, the first son of the Ghosts, has Hinzerhaus as his first mission. He has to do more than prove himself. It just may be up to Dalin to save them all.
***** This is probably my favorite of the Gaunt's Ghost series. Not only is this story well planned and executed, but the strange happenings seemed to have no credible explanations. There were scenes that sent cold chills down my spine. The story starts out unnerving and keeps getting worse until the very end. For perfect effects, read during a storm at night. Military warfare meets paranormal in this Ghosts installment. Absolutely wonderful! *****

Two stars because I managed to finish it. I shall avoid this author in future.
A really bad book. Oodles of nauseating blood and gore. Zero subtlety. Trivial 'goodies' versus 'baddies' stuff - with the 'goodies' winning of course. Thanks to an amazing 'deus ex machina'. Not interesting at all.

Best so far? Hardly! Bit of a disappointment for me. Although the setting is quite good, and different to previous books, I just could not get on with the spooky stuff at all. Lots of things just didnt seem to add up for me. Bit of a let down from the previous books such as Traitor General and the Armour of Contempt. Still difficult to put down though!

Abnett does it again.
I was hooked on the Ghosts books from the founding and the series has never failed to deliver.

Only in Death
Another great story from the master. With the surprise re-appearance of some old friends, a really good read.

Not his best
Typical Gaunt's Ghosts fare which I usually enjoy but I think this does not have the drive and involvement of his other books and Gaunt only appears in half the book. Read more
