I've always like Kal Jerico stories, because he is basically a swashbuckling version of Blackadder (from series 3), complete with repugnant but loyal sidekick, Scabs (Baldrick).Unfortunately, when I read the stories, I hear the characters talking with those particular voices.
A really fun rip roaring tale of adventure. Just what you would expect from the team of writers, and from a book based on Necromunda.
Before I get into it, because I'm going to nitpick, I did like this book. I've yet to read a Necromunda, or really any book in the 40k universe that I didn't come away with something that made me glad I read it.Now this is a Kal Jerico book, so it is bounty hunting, only this time the client is his father, Lord Helmwar, planetary governor of Necromunda.The target is Kal's insane, blood thirsty brother (it seems that there are about 200 offspring).

I was spending too much time looking at Infinity miniatures, and I had not even finishing painting my first Necromunda gang. I thought some background reading would help me focus on the GW game. So I looked for a light reading that would expand the meta of the game, but I am not sure it fulfilled any of these two expectations. The book is short enough it does not take that long to finish it, and it has plenty of action, so it should be fun to read, right? Well, I think my big problem is that the...
A fun little book set in the ‘grim future’.
A bounty hunter (in a future / mystical world) searches for a valuable object and fights a ‘vampire’ plus various other foes.I found the setting / characters interesting but in some places slightly confusing.
