Book Review: You Haven't Aged A Day!
Summary: 5 Stars
Regardless of why Bill King is no longer writing the adventures of Gotrek & Felix, I am now completely convinced that the characters are in good hands. In `Manslayer', the duo return to the lands of the Empire after their 20 year sojourn, and are immediately plunged into another dark conspiracy in the city of Nuln. The story is slower to get started than their previous outing, but once it gets going it keeps up a breakneck pace that only increases as the story nears its climax.
I enjoyed seeing the duo interacting with human beings again, since it has been two books and several years since they spent any time among Felix's people. There's a running joke involving Felix's appearance that I think hints at an important revelation to come, and we get to see several familiar faces (some friendly, some not). We also get some information regarding the fates of two former companions, Max Schreiber and Snorri Nosebiter (which I was very grateful for). There is action, intrigue, horror, heartbreak, suspense, a tragic loss, and an epilogue that had me grinning from ear to ear in anticipation of the next book.
There were only a couple of things about the book I didn't enjoy: the first is a speculative oversight on Felix's part near the end regarding the identity of a still-unknown threat that had me shaking my head at his cluelessness (you'd think he'd know better by now). The second is the nearly sadistic level of punishment inflicted on the two heroes. I felt bad for both of them by the end of the story. They take a worse pounding in `Manslayer' than anything previously written, almost to the point of absurdity.
To sum up, I highly recommend `Manslayer' for fans of the series. Nathan Long does not disappoint in his second outing, and I eagerly look forward to the next.
Summary of Manslayer (Warhammer)
Now back in the Empire following their sojourn overseas, Gotrek and Felix head north, to aid the men of the Empire in their fight against the invading Chaos hordes. Stopping off in Nuln, they meet up with dwarf engineer Malakai Makaisson, who is helping the Imperial war effort by transporting cannons to the frontline on his airship, The Spirit of Grungni. After a series of nasty accidents, it becomes clear that saboteurs are at work - can our heroes find the villains in time to save the day?Action & Adventure Books
