Publisher's summary

A Gotrek Gurnisson novel.

When Felix Jaeger, a student, poet and minor political agitator, swears a drunken oath to a half-mad dwarf, it changes his life. Adventure awaits, as Felix records the mighty deeds of Gotrek Gurnisson, Trollslayer.

Listen to It Because: This collection of stories is where the saga of Gotrek began. Mutants in the forest, goblins in the mountains, a troll beneath the world - from these small beginnings came the greatest partnership in the Old World and a hero who has crossed realities and become a legend.

The Story: Gotrek and Felix: unsung heroes of the Empire or nothing more than common thieves and murderers? The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between and depends entirely upon whom you ask....

After fleeing the authorities in the Imperial city of Altdorf, Felix Jaeger swears a drunken oath to dour dwarf Gotrek Gurnisson to record his death saga. In the cold light of day, Felix's worst fears are confirmed as he learns that Gotrek is a Trollslayer - a dwarf doomed to seek out a heroic death in battle to atone for an unknown personal disgrace. Their travels throw them into a string of extraordinary adventures as Felix tries to survive his companion's destiny.

Written by William King. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

enjoyable, just a bit jumpy.

Maybe it's just the style of the book but it seemed to go from set piece to set piece and sort of "yadda yadda'd" over the in betweens.
Some people might like that more than the alternative, more action, less traveling between towns. It caught me off guard how they'd just sometimes wrap things up in 2 sentences and move onto the next thing.

Great voice for Gotrek

A stunning introduction to Warhammer

Before this novel I had no idea if I would like Warhammer fantasy, I've been a 40k fan for most of my life and WH fantasy has never captured my interests, until this book! Keeble has perfect narration and his voices are realistic and entertaining. If you like Dark Fantasy, the gritty blood and guts, hack and slash fantasy this is a perfect book for you.

This is the book that got me hooked on warhammer.

The view of Felix Jeager gives me the thrill and horror of how the grimdark of the old world effects normal humans. The story is a bit cliché at times, and I love it because of it!

Excellent. The narration brings the story to life.

I've read this book before and wanted to go back through the Gotrek & Felix series. I was happy to find this book as the narration really brings the book to life. I would ask that WotC/Black Library complete the rest of the series as audiobooks.

I love this series! Another amazing entry

Beautifully written, beautifully narrated. Another masterpiece. Storyline was original, given the WH world. Amazing details and classic William organization.
