5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite of the series thus far., 29 Feb 2008
By Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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! *****

4.0 out of 5 stars Cracking Abnett, 16 Sep 2008
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
To be honest after some of Dan's last few offerings I was starting to wonder if he'd had his day and was just jumping on an established bandwagon allowing his name to sell the product rather than it being seriously talent driven.

Certain Gaunts Ghost's books have sadly let perhaps the most famous Imperial Guard down amongst the readers so it was time Dan did something that helped pick the unit up and reunite reader faith with the series. With this title he did getting back to classic Abnett action blending the human struggle and emotional aspect of the First and Only's characters with the epic war that they're continuing to fight for the Emperor.

Great read and a chance to remember some of the fallen as this tale really does give the readers an epic adventure that doesn't stop until the last page not only reaffirming my continued faith in this author but will definitely be a tale that will vie with readers to become their favourite book of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars jedi knight, 20 Nov 2007
By jedi knight (Basingstoke,uk) - See all my reviews
Another great book from dan abnett, full of the usual twists and turns you expect from a gaunts ghosts plus some you dont expect.
Be warned though this book is not in his usual writing style, and will take some getting used to but once you have you will not be able to put it down !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Only in Death
Another great story from the master. With the surprise re-appearance of some old friends, a really good read.
Published 10 days ago by J. D. Potter

4.0 out of 5 stars 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

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but weird
Not in the usual style, but its still a good read.

Its got nothing on the greats like Necropolis and Guns of Tanith though
