BOOK BLURB:
When the noxious artefact known as the Wormstone is discovered, only one being in the insidious skaven Under–Empire is vicious and ruthless enough to dare harness its awful power: Grey Seer Thanquol. But when the artefact is stolen by smugglers, Thanquol must recover it. Not only that but a mysterious wizard and his band of henchmen are also trying to stop him. Only by finding the Wormstone, avoiding the murderous attentions of his treacherous subordinates and dodging the displeasure of his superiors in Skavenblight will Thanquol realise his plan to bring the kingdoms of both man and ratkin to their knees…
REVIEW:
The mysterious Skaven rise to the fore with this, the first book written from the ratmens point of view. In particular, that of the seemingly indestructible Grey Seer Thanquol. Written by renowned Warhammer author CL Werner (perhaps better known for his Brunner series and more recently Mathias Thulman (Witch Hunter) he brings his own indomitable take to the bane of Felix and Gotrek’s existence.
Creative, thrilling and above all giving a more rounded appeal to the under dwellers its sure to attract many more followers to the Horned Rat as they seek to put the dominion of men under their rule on the battlefield. A novel that will appeal to many and perhaps will lead to the first full Orc novel in its own time. A fun time will be had by readers perhaps even giving the odd household a break from the normal noises to be replaced by plenty of squeaks of excitement and perhaps even the odd squirt of fear musk which will make this a true addition to any Warhammer collection. Well done BL and Clint.
