Lasgun Wedding

Necromunda

by Will McDermott

For Richer or poorer...
Till Death Us Do Part!

In the nightmare industrial underworld of Necromunda, brutal gangs clash in desperate battles to increase their standing with the decadent families who occupy the uppermost spires of the teeming city.

When the ruler of the massive hive city of Necromunda falls dead, Kal Jerico is coerced into taking his place. But with assassins taking pot shots at him from all sides and forced into marrying a Spire noble, Kal begins to suspect there may be more to his rapid ascension than first appeared. Will Kal triumph and discover the root of the conspiracy or will he end up dead, or worse, married!

Ok, the third one done and it got worse.
For a long time it was a "2", but that last chapter...oh the humanity, that last chapter...., brought it down to a solid "1".

I'm not expecting great litterature when reading books from a game universe. But I do expect them to actually be about said universe and expand on the lore or add to the atmosphere.
Not much of that here I'm affraid.
You could've just as easily had put this story in any generic sci-fi (in it's most loose definition) setting since not much says grimdark about it (and Necromunda without grimdark isn't Necromunda.).

I mean...tuxedos? Really?

A wonderful end to the trilogy, and an excellent first foray into Necromunda.

I'm not sure why Kal Jerico gets his own book, let alone 3. Still don't like him, but the characters around him are cool. Realized when I got to the end that the cover is a bit of spoiler and if I had looked at it closer, I would have realized it. It was interesting just how much info that the story gave about inhabitants of the hive. It explains Ratskin physiology some, more than I had ever had laid out before. Shows in good detail how cyber-mastiffs work on both autopilot and with commands. Shows politics in the uperhive. For that it is a great read. For the main focus of the story, not so much.

While fun and enjoyable to read, Lasgun Wedding was pairly predictable and tended to drag on quite a bit at times. Two factors in its favor are the complete lack of rage induction and zero apoplectic incidents. On the downside, however, it is also not terribly memorable.

A good old necromancy yarn.
Fun for all the good old sci fi reasons that most necromancy books share. It does a very good job of not taking itself seriously. It's a good yarn that delivers a 40K fix

Another great story about Necromunda and it's most outrageous inhabitant, Kal Jerico. If you're a fan of Kal (and his appalling behavior), you'll enjoy this book.
