Product Description
The Warhammer world is filled with great heroes, and defined by honour and survival against the odds. But sometimes these values are overridden, and death and dishonour prevail. This collection contains nine new stories featuring some of Warhammer's most legendary heroes including Gotrek and Felix, Florin and Lorenzo and Brunner the Bounty Hunter. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars From Florin to Gotrek to Brunner
Being somewhat new to the Warhammer World, I was excited to see Death & Dishonourshow up in Amazon Vine. It was a perfect opportunity to learn a bit more about the Warhammer uverse. And this volume delivers. Nine stories by various authors including the likes of Nathan Long and Ross O'Brien among the more notable of the Black Librarian contributors. Fans of Gotrek and Felix will find a compelling short story in Red Snow. It is start to finish an exciting look at one chance encounter with a Yeti. The Assassin's Dilemma presented a nice little tale set in the world of the Skaven. And the ending of this one was really quite good. Noblesse Oblige with Florin and Lorenzo is a nifty little tale of intrigue which embroils the duo in some shady politics that nearly stretches both their necks. The addition of a little Skaven spiced up the story nicely.

But I must say of all nine stories, Rest Eternal stayed with me long after reading it. I found it to be the most different and troubling of all the stories. There was something about being trapped for eternity in that nether realm that just unnerved me a bit. It's really great story telling that left me thinking more about the story than just a quick read and on to the next chapter.

Buying a compendium of stories can always be a bit of dice roll, much like buying a full CD and finding that you only like one or two tracks. In this case, fans of Warhammer won't be disappointed. This is the perfect book for those waits in the doctor office or sitting in the airport waiting for your flight to board. The stories are just long enough for you to finish them in a short time. And once you're seated and taxiing onto the runway...well you'll be flipping to the next story...you will...these are that good.

5-0 out of 5 stars Death, dishonor, and amazing stories
Death and Dishonor is the latest offering by Black Library for the Warhammer fantasy universe. All stories explore the theme in very unique ways. From a knight that is stuck in limbo with a malevolent force to a dwarf that is trying to die a spectacular death, to adventures condemned to death for heroics in a gladiatorial arena - this book has it all.

A complete list of the book are -

* Red Snow by Nathan Long
* The assassin's Dilemma by David Earle
* Rest Eternal by Anthony Reynolds
* The Miracle at Berlau by Darius Hinks
* Noblesse Oblige by Robert Earl
* The Last Ride of Heiner Rothstein by Ross O'Brien
* Broken Blood by Paul Kearney
* The Judgment of Crows by Chris Wraight
* Wolfshead by C.L. Werner

Red Snow is a new Gotrek and Felix story. Typical for those two, expect a great story, an impossible monster that needs slaying, and a disappointed dwarf. Noblesse Oblige is a new Florin and Lorenzo story. This one had me laughing out loud, and is alone worth the price of the book. Lastly, Wolfshead is a new Brunner the Bounty Hunter story, and is a great way to end the book, since it is a thrilling and compelling story.

If you are a veteran of the Warhammer universe, you will love revisiting some of its most iconic characters.If you have never before read a Warhammer story, this is a great way to learn more about the universe, and you need no prior knowledge to appreciate these well written, amazing stories. You also never need to have played Warhammer the game in any way to understand these stories. All you need is a love of well written, well executed fantasy stories.

Highest Recommendations.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good mix of stories
This book comprises several short stories set in the Warhammer world. If you like short story format and good fantasy fiction, this book should please.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Surprising Book
I bought 'Death & Dishonour' primarily for the new Gotrek & Felix story, as I suspect many readers will. Surprise #1: this was not my favourite story in the collection. In fact, it was somewhat disappointing. 'Red Snow' is a very by-the-numbers tale that adds nothing to G&F's epic. It is not badly written by any stretch, it's just average. I had hoped for more.

Surprise #2: this book is full of good stories! Since I am largely in agreement with the assessments already posted here, I won't go into further detail, except to say that the stand-out stories for me were 'Rest Eternal', 'Judgment of Crows', and 'Noblesse Oblige'. I would gladly read more of the adventures of any of the leads in these stories, and in fact ordered the 'Florin & Lorenzo' omnibus immediately after reading 'Noblesse Oblige'. I was less enthused about a couple of the other tales included here, but I can fairly say that I enjoyed them all.

Overall, 'Death & Dishonour' is a very worthwhile read. There are not a lot of happy endings here, but I think there will be a lot of happy readers.

5-0 out of 5 stars For fans and newbies
The most compelling feature of the Warhammer universe is its extraordinary breadth. Because there are many, many authors, and several different time frames, all sorts of different kinds of science fiction and fantasy can be offered.

This work is set in the middle times (middle-ages-ish, not futuristic, and not ancient). Swords and sorcery rule the story lines, but there the similarity ends. Some stories are lighthearted and heartwarming, some are dark and violent, and some are really, really creepy.

Readers new to the Warhammer universe will be able to get a taste of different author's styles, but be forewarned - some authors are more into convoluted plots than others, and, while this is evident in their books, it doesn't show up in the shorts (I wonder if the authors were instructed to make these strictly stand-alone stories).

Readers familiar with the Warhammer universe will enjoy the book, particularly for those times when getting elbows' deep into tortuous plots and palace intrigues isn't convenient.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read/Good Twists
I am a fan of many genres and had no idea what this book was about until I read the first couple of pages. 24 hours later and I finished the last page with avengence. Davis writes with a plan and gives you bits of information as he builds towards the climax: excellently placed. Do not underestimate the beginning as twists and turns shock you throughout your read. This book is one of the new titles out of the POD (Print On Demand) technology that is evolving. This books proves that quality can come from the vast content being produced. By the way, those of you who like X-Files will love this book. Have fun reading!!

5-0 out of 5 stars A truly excellent Thriller!!
Hi, This is actually the first review I've ever written, but The Christopher Factor by Lindsey S. (Bear) Davis was so enjoyable I felt it my obligation to say so. (I even sent him an email through his website, which was actually how I stumbled onto TheChristopherFactor.com in the first place. There are about one hundred pages of the novel online, as well as some real cool art and music). Dave Jeffries and Vic Donato are the most real cop characters to come along in a long, long time. They talk like real people talk. The relationship between the two is rich, these guys have been partners for seven years and you can tell. I also dug how the story began in 1975. The reader gets a look at what some of the characters looked and acted like when they were in their late teens and early twenties. Then the story picks up 25 years later with all this intrigue taking place in and around Los Angeles. It kept me turning pages from the very beginning. This is this guy's first novel. I guarantee you hear about him in the near future. I 'll even bet The Christopher Factor ends up as a movie!! If you like to read King and Clancy, you'll definitely dig The Christopher Factor. Happy reading, one and all. ... Read more

Product Description
One fine day in AD 70, scruffy, working-class informer Marcus Didius Falco literally runs into a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl on the steps of the Forum. Sosia Camillina is on the run from a couple of street toughs, and after rescuing her, Falco wants to find out why. It soon becomes clear that Sosia knows a dangerous secret about a stockpile of silver ingots - or 'pigs' - and there are those who will stop at nothing to prevent her telling what she knows. Hoping for future favours from Sosia's rich, influential uncle, Falco embarks on an intricate case of smuggling, murder and treason that reaches as far as the Emperor's palace, and beyond the seven hills of Rome. Soon, Falco finds himself in an inhospitable outpost of the Empire called Britain, where the weather is filthy, the natives restless and the women angry. There, he meets Helena Justina, a spirited aristocrat who becomes an important part of his life. But, if he does not tread carefully, the treacherous puzzle of the silver pigs could be the death of him...Anton Lesser stars as Falco with Fritha Goodey as Helena Justina in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Lindsey Davis's first Falco novel. ...

Not overly impressed with this. Once upon a time you could totally trust the BBC but not any longer. They turn out poor products some of the time also. At times the music is so loud it's difficult to hear the voices. The story is OK but not great. ... Read more

Product Description

Marcus Didius Falco and his laddish friend Petronius find their local fountain has been blocked—by a gruesomely severed human hand. Soon other body parts are being found in the aqueducts and sewers. Public panic overcomes official indifference, and the Aventine partners are commissioned to investigate. Women are being abducted during festivals, and the next Games are only days away. As the heat rises in the Circus Maximus, they face a race against time and a strong test of their friendship. And they know that the sadistic killer lurks somewhere on the festive streets of Rome—preparing to strike again.
