Publisher's summary

An excellent addition in the Kal Jerico series

A common concern you tend to see in any long running franchise when a new writer is assigned to a write new stories for a well known "legacy" character because of the new writer might drastically alter their personality/backstory for no clear rhyme or reason. Even some of Black Library's most famous authors are guilty of this.
Josh Reynolds, thankfully, is not one of these authors. He takes the characters created by William McDermott & Gordon Rennie and not only treats them with due respect in the d
story but introduces them to the uninitiated that makes the reader wanting more by the end of it.
Mark Elstob's brilliant performance is icing on the cake. Would recommend to veteran fans of Necromunda or people who know nothing about Warhammer 40000.

surprisingly good

enjoyes it.. big fan of the game. this story really brought the world to life.

Nice.

Very nice story, great and likeable characters, well written story, and the reading was really good.
Even tho he makes terrible female voices, i find them really charming.
I would recommend.

Good story but narrator...ouch

A good story eith alot of background for necromunda. However, the narrator reslly needs to work with a team. He makes almost all the carracters sounds like elderly British citizens. He reads well, but it becomes irritating listening to a bunch of geriatric Brittons.

I liked it, enough to demand a sequel

The story is typical #GamesWorkshop/#BlackLibrary fare. Better than most, not great tho.

Biggest Minus- The Narrator seem'd to have run outta female voices past co-main character Yolanda. The rest of the female voices are a constant cringe. I'm good at rollin with it but fair warning!

Kal Jerico's swashbuckling, *scruffy looking nerf herder* type traits seem'd to have been somewhat forgotten, late in the book, but the action more than made up for it.

A nice Underhive *roadtrip* story, interspersed with plenty of action & character interactions. The roll call of Bounty Hunters was a boon, too.

Great story

Really enjoyed the story, though the narrator did make most of the female characters sound falsetto. It's a pity, because apart from his inability to make the female characters sound convincing, his performance was excellent. Necromunda stories are something I hope to see a lot more of, since we appear to have a plethora of emo space marine stories in the 40k universe and not enough showing the dark underbelly of the Imperium beyond the inquisitorial.

the characters and environment

this story blew me away, easily in my top three of Warhammer novels. It was a completely different style than am used to. Rather than big beefy space marines and heroic last stands we got an underhive filled with mutant scum bounty hunters and backstabbing lowlifes. Kal Jericho is easily my favorite "main" character along with Grimaldus and Straken in terms of being a total badass. Can't recommend enough and I patiently await the sequel teased at the end, Hive Seconds incoming!

great book

Kal is a boring character, but the rest of the cast is fantastic. Now I have to go spend $200 on 20 year old metal redemptionists figures So I can have some red robes of my own.

I really want to see a sequel to this book quickly.

necromunda as we all love it.

this was a deliting read. to all those who have playet the tabletop game and love the setting. this is a must read.
to all others that love cyberpunk and a good story... well what are you wating for. GET to listining

Underhive Shoot-Em-Up Fun!

The first Necromunda novel I've read, and I did so because Josh Reynolds is one of my favorite BL authors. This was excellent! Very enjoyable. The characters are well rounded and just plain fun! There is a nice set up for future Kal Jericho adventures in this as well. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook if possible. The narrator, Mark Elstrob, does a great job with the characters!
