Games Workshop wipe out the original Warhammer Fantasy world in a bid to force people into buying new rules and models and give the whole thing a major reboot.This is a collection of short stories by different authors setting up the new world. Chaos has taken over most of the mortal realms, and Sigm...
The Ghoul King by Guy Haley For those of you who know me, the TL;DR version is this: I finished The Ghoul King in one sitting, and immediately turned around and purchased The Emperor's Railroad (I almost never buy books.) And now it's at the top of my to-read list. The Ghoul King is short, but p...
YESYESYESYESYES! I love this book. I loved it the first time. It takes a long time to get started, and I was upset both times - although at least this time I realized that this was a temporary impatience that would soon dissipate, replaced by giddy glee. And it was. Once this story gets go...
Falling somewhere between King's The Dark Tower saga and Brooks'Shannara series, as seen through the achingly vibrant lens of Discovery's Life After People, The Emperor's Railroad is a remarkably unique approach to post-apocalyptic fantasy. While I felt the choice of a 12-year-old narrator put some ...
This book is told from the POV of Abney, a 12 year-old boy that was born in the year of the Dominion of Angels 1097. Abney and his mother Sarah Hollister are on the road, trying to get from the destruction of their hometown to safety with a cousin in the town of Winfort. The two must cross th...
Given the length I wasn't sure how much I'd get in here. It turns out more than I expected. It was large in scope, even if short in length, showing us the background to a side character, Genie, who I liked quite a bit in the books. And I'm not crying over the loss of Richards and Klein books ...
I love this book. It's a short prequel to the novels, and I read it after I devoured the first two Richards and Klein novels. It's an amazingly rich future in which AIs have full human rights as the UN found them to be sentient. Which makes me so, so happy, so in addition to clever writing and...
The storyline was detailed and consistent and it all made sense. AIs have protection under an amendment to the UN in which they are recognized as sentient. However, the man who made this possible has disappeared, and Richards and Klein are hired to investigate. Meanwhile, his assistant, Veron...
This was my eightieth book I've read this year. I don't count short stories but this year I've heard some audiobooks so that help achieve this mark. One thing is for sure: It couldn't be a better book to commemorate.Some minor spoilers ahead but with a title "The Last Days of Ector"... The story is ...
Although it did get much better towards the end, my main problem with this novel was that I LOVE Richards, and spent the portions of the book that Richards wasn't in waiting for Richards to come back. So I missed some key bits of information here and there and the book felt a little more disjointed ...
