Čepele Chaosu

Slaves to Darkness #2

by Gav Thorpe

Po hektických událostech popsaných ve Spárech Chaosu se Kurt Leitzig stává ne všemi uznávaným Vyvoleným válečníkem bohů. Aby svou pozici obhájil před norskými kmeny, shromáždí skupinu válečníků a v jejich čele se vypraví do bájné Arábie. Ve chvíli, kdy jim docházejí zásoby a hrozí nemoci, najdou opuštěné město s pyramidami a dávno zapomenutými hrobkami. Přemoženi touhou po zlatě probudí armádu, která byla mrtvá po tisíce let – a obávaný král Nephythys povstal z hrobky!

[Nicola · Rating 2 out of 5]

old school, Old World, Warhammer Fantasy. I read it in my youth while RPG'ing Warhammer Fantasy and loved picking up immersive novels for the setting. It's a different experience picking up the novels again as an adult when many years have passed since I last read books of this ilk. My tastes have somewhat changed and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much although it was fun to reminisce.

Fantastic dark fantasy with two very compelling storylines developed wonderfully.
