4.0 out of 5 stars WH40k At Its Best, 27 April 2008
This review is from: The Founding (Warhammer 40,000: Gaunt's Ghosts) (Paperback)
Anyone who's already familiar with Dan Abnett's work will know that he has mastered the art of writing fast-paced, straight for the throat, action based sci-fi. Indeed, he has become a notably popular writer for his work on both the UK based sci-fi weekly comic 2000AD, as well as for his WH40K novels, with a frankly astounding volume of quality output.
The Founding is a collection of Abnett's first three novels in his Gaunt's Ghosts series: First and Only (Abnett's first published novel), Ghostmaker and Necropolis. Also included is a short story named Honour Guard.
The series follows the adventures of the Tanith First regiment of imperial guardsmen, led by battle-hardened veteran Commissar-Colonel Ibram Gaunt.
Abnett has produced a great character in Gaunt, a commissar who goes against the standards set by his peers, refusing to throw his men to pointless deaths, but still managing to take them to glorius victory after glorius victory.
This is a very human tale, taking the reader into the horrors of war and allowing you to share all the emotion and fear felt by the characters, and although its set in deep space in the 41st millenium, it never feels like its too far away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing!!!, 25 May 2008
This review is from: The Founding (Warhammer 40,000: Gaunt's Ghosts) (Paperback)
This book is astoundingly well written
action packed, good story,good back story and great characters to boot.
It gets quite violent at times, but then again it is set in a war-torn universe so it's to be expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, 29 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This book is quite simply the best piece of sci-fi literature you will ever read. Set in an ultra-violent and gothic future of the 41st millenium, it will have you on the edge of your seat all the time, and i found it very hard to put this book down. Do yourself a favour and do not deny yourself hours of reading pleasure. P.S after searching alot of online stores amazon do the best deals on all the gaunts ghosts books as well as all the other warhammer 40000 books. QUITE SIMPY THE BEST!!!
