Resumen del Editor

Book 3 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.

On the shattered world of Verghast, Gaunt and his Ghosts find themselves embroiled within an ancient and deadly civil war as a mighty hive-city is besieged by an unrelenting foe.

Listen to it because: The return of a classic Gaunt's Ghosts novel! The Tanith First deploy to Verghast to help break the Chaos siege of Vervunhive. Tanks clash with daemon engines, Imperial Guardsmen make brave last stands and Colonel-Commissar Gaunt steps up and takes control of the war effort, showing for the first time the command abilities that will go on to make him a legend.

The story: On the world of Verghast, a grinding war between two hive cities - one loyal to the Imperium, the other fallen to the worship of the Dark Gods - is bolstered by the forces of the Astra Militarum, spearheaded by the Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only. But bitter rivalries and treachery threaten to derail the defence of Vervunhive, and it falls to Gaunt to take command of the Imperial forces and forge victory from an almost certain defeat.

loved it just like I have every single book of this series so far. couldn't recommend this series enough.

Fantastic with one slight.

Great military sci-fi. Toby is fantastic as usual.

The only slight against it is the ending is rushed.

excellent

such a great book and the last 1/3rd has been some of the best Warhammer I've read yet

Awesome book

Another great read by Dan Abnett. Hyped for more gaunts ghosts books & honestly anything by this author is 💯

Gaunt's Ghosts stories just get better and better

As usual, Dan Abnett excels and shows how amazing his creative mind can be when let loose in the 40K universe. Absolutely loved this entry in the Gaunt's Ghosts series of stories. Well done!!!

another one of Mr.Abnetts amazing works

Gaunts skillful leading and determination win him another conquest this time gaining favors in high places

Grim dark at its best

Best in the series, maybe in the whole 40k genre.
Just finished the 3rd book Necropolis and remember now why this is my favourite in the series. The best novel warhammer 40k literature has ever produced. An action-packed thriller from start to finish packed with heroism of the imperial guard hampered by the infinite pettyness, pride, politics, greed and stupidity of man which makes it such a believable story. Its gripping drama pulls you in and the climax had me clenching my fists until the very end. A perfect depiction of grimdark horror in the face of pure evil, on par with that seen in Berserk, that made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck as the forces of darkness killed and murdered they way towards the hopelessly beleagured defenders. Its everything warhammer 40k is supposed to be; epic battles fought on a huge scale, the battle between good and evil, the horror of mass slaughter, the valor of brave soldiers, the inspiring leadership of heroic commanders, the pompous cowardice and stupidity of higher command. I cant recommend the book enough, if any of this sounds like your cup of tea, if you enjoy the setting of 40k or that of Berserk then you are going to love this book. Binge listened through the audiobook I got on audible and am already downloading book 4.

almost perfect

The story kept my attention the whole time, the side plots were worth including and the performance was good. the only drawback was the whole slayer virus thing coming off as a bit of a mcguffin. Not plot breaking, but easy to see where everything was leading. really good book.

amazing as always

such a great story I would say really the best of the guns ghost books
