Labyrinth of the Lost

Warhammer Age of Sigmar

by Andy Clark

Deep within the sorcerous labyrinth of the Silver Tower, a small band of champions fights for survival. Some seek to win glory and power by defeating the master of this ever-changing realm. Others look only to survive, and to escape the hellish maze before it takes their lives, their souls or their sanity. Forced to work together, the champions must overcome bitter rivalries and age-old hatreds in their quest to defeat the twisted machinations of the Gaunt Summoner. Yet lies and illusion spill through the Silver Tower like a flood, and none of these questing heroes is quite what they seem…

Read it because
It's a classic adventure tale of heroes on a quest in a labyrinth… but it's given some twists that could only occur in the Age of Sigmar and some bizarre circumstances that could only come about when you're dealing with the servants of Tzeentch, the God of Change.

As far as tie-in novels meant to be appetizers go it was sort of OK-ish. However if you expect any character development or great writing you will be disappointed. There are far better Warhammer novels out there.

Splendid stand alone tie-in to Warhammer Quest board game

Stands out as a fun, stand alone novella based on Age of Sigmar Warhammer.

Pleasantly surprised by its ending.

Inspiring for those playing the Silver Tower board game.

I wanted to read this book for a long while after I played the game and the story was a pretty nice read as well. It follows a group of adveturers who just happen upon each other in the mystical maze of the Silver Tower. It’s a very weird group of polar opposites who in the end grow to somewhat respect each other. A nice chance to see a Stormcast and a Chaos warrior converse in peace. Then there is a menacing character trailing them from the shadows. Piece for piece it’s reminiscent of many classic fantasy stories but it moves fast and has some tense fight scenes. It just feels enchanting and magical. I really liked it.

Three stars for an entertaining story centered around the choice of a character. That choice, to choose between apotheosis or salvation, was the climax of an otherwise, fairly germane, fantasy quest story.
A good little tie in to the table top game, but far too short for anything other than a single read through.
Not bad, however.

A hard to read book, which is very much mired in the lore of the Warhammer World. Without a basic knowledge of that world, a lot of the book is hard to make sense of, and the story is very tedious in parts. The end was unpredictable, and sound, but this book might appeal mostly to fans of the Warhammer game.

For a book purely written as a game tie-in, this a surprisingly fun, dungeon crawling romp.

The well designed characters and interesting environment hooked me from the get-go.

The biggest issue? It was too damned short! It left me wanting more.

Released at the same time as the Silver Tower version of the Warhammer Quest game, Labyrinth of the Lost is an enjoyable, if somewhat basic, book that follows five disparate adventures as they explore the titular Tower for their own unique reasons. While the action in the novella is reasonable, the thing I liked most about the novella was the character interactions between the various heroes, with the Darkoath chieftain being particularly entertaining. I am a little disappointed that the Warrior-Priest didn’t have a bigger role, but the other characters more than made up for that. The novella’s plot is a little predictable, but it is still relatively solid, with a twist ending that was foreseeable but still entertaining.

With a new version of the legendary Warhammer Quest game just announced, Black Library are in on the act as usual with the release of the novella Warhammer Quest Silver Tower : Labyrinth of the Lost by Andy Clark. Harking back to the classic game but updated for the Age of Sigmar setting and a more contemporary audience, it follows a disparate group of heroes trapped inside the titular Silver Tower and forced to work together to survive and reach the master of the tower – the Gaunt Summoner. Cue an adventure full of monsters, treasure, bickering and lots of blood.
