Gaunts ghosts the warmaster epub download torrent

He has also written the Ravenor and Amazon. In , Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers, a novel so famous and still so popular today that it scarcely needs introduction. Shortly thereafter he wrote a sequel, Twenty Years After, that resumed the adventures of his swashbuckling heroes. Later, toward the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, another direct sequel to The Three Musketeers that begins, not twenty years later, but a mere twenty days afterward.

A young cavalier newly arrived in Paris, Moret is an illegitimate son of the former king, and thus half-brother to King Louis. The French Court seethes with intrigue as king, queen, and cardinal all vie for power, and young Moret soon finds himself up to his handsome neck in conspiracy, danger—and passionate romance!

Dumas wrote seventy-five chapters of The Red Sphinx, all for serial publication, but he never quite finished it, and so the novel languished for almost a century before its first book publication in France in While Dumas never completed the book, he had earlier written a separate novella, The Dove, that recounted the final adventures of Moret and Cardinal Richelieu.

Now for the first time, in one cohesive narrative, The Red Sphinx and The Dove make a complete and satisfying storyline—a rip-roaring novel of historical adventure, heretofore unknown to English-language readers, by the great Alexandre Dumas, king of the swashbucklers. Monty Don author. Person of Warmaster Macaroth has been shown at last. And it was a hilarious experience. Because he is an absolutely 'human' being and totally different to the figures the likes of Macharius.

Never expected 'Warmaster' to be like that - 'a small, cumbersome, tired and grandpa character'. Also, what Dan did again on the 'Oskar' level - he created the same 'evil' character we haven't seen since Cuu's devilness in the flesh. You need to read that novel - to start despising a character on 'that' level.

Especially at one moment followed up with a character death. Which reminds me to mention that it is a 'proper' GG Abnett's novel.

By proper I mean that 'Nobody is safe from the Grim Reaper'. With his usual eagerness Dan Abnett easily kills your beloved character, not shedding a tear ; And now to the issues I had with the novel. That's just my personal opinion - so I do not suggest that you don't gonna like described below. There are no 'ideal' writers in the world, who will create everything 'right', without even 1 minor issue.

All the stuff which would be mentioned is indeed a list of minor issues. But they do exist. What is not so good with the Warmaster First of all - even though Dan's great 'descriptiveness', the beginning chapters up to the arrival on Urdesh were too streched.

Scenes of boarding actions and actually getting through space to Urdesh took too long. If we add stories from the 'Sabbat Crusade' here, which took place after the 'Salvation Reach' - it take even longer. They are 'rushed'. Here it is vise versa. It is the beginning that is too long for it's own good. Second point - which in my opinion has place in the most of the Gaunt Ghosts novels are the luck or fate. Then some Ghosts or characters are getting to die, some universal force will save them from destruction.

Space Marine arrival no disrespect for Dan - but that 'trio' was definitely redundant here , another regiment, other enemy, high command etc. Usually I do a full spoiler free review - but I can't do that here. Because some events are 'exactly' an 'issue' here.

Minor spoilers ahead - do not proceed further if you haven't read the book Third point is based on a characters.

Saint Sabbat is mentioned several times throughout the book - but we never saw her in it. Gaunt never met her in The Warmaster in person. And all mentions of the Saint are grounded to: 'She is where or she is at the main battleground'. Which is kind of disappointing. Because a lot of us were expecting to see her and Milo for quite a long time since 'Sabbat Martyr'. Same could be said about a person of Mabbon Etogaur, the one we liked by now and have solid respect as to his professionalism, - is quickly dropped from the plot.

Dropped so simply on an order from HQ, which define belief. Especially after all GG went through to keep him safe. Another of the 'character problems' of a narrative list is Gaunt's 'son' Felyx. Without major spoiler - in my personal opinion it was a mistake to do what Abnett did with him. Not because it was a bad decision. Quite contrary. It is wrong because of 'how it was added into the story'. We had the character for a full previous novel Salvation's Reach and nobody see 'that' coming and where weren't any hints about 'that' reveal.

It's like author has decided to change something on a fly, without a solid background to it. Now we should pray that 'Anarch', the last book in the 'Victory' arc - would be written quickly and released in Because with 'that' kind of ending - waiting till the next book is a 'seven circles of hell'. BIG Spoilers ahead. Last warning - 'ending' spoilers ahead, can't skip them - or my point would be nil without them.

Why Sons of Sek did retreat - they didn't get the stones, they didn't killed the High Command of the Crusade? With horrible casualties - but they were at the point of breaking through and destroying Imperial command structure once and for all. And that's years of rebuilding it - years in which Archenemy and Sanguinary Tribes under the united command would get back everything they lost so far. What's happening with Anakwanar Sek - he was always a rational and genius being?

Great tactician and one of the biggest boogeyman of the Sabbat Worlds? Why he use his troops as a diletant? What really happened to Mkoll? Another miraculous save in the last moment? Who by the way has 2 sons not a son and a daughter - I see what you did here Dan. Archenemy covets here, she sees the future, anyone getting to her dies or guard her with their own life.

Is she part daemon now, is she somehow connected with Anakwanar Sek? Having part of his soul inside her? Is she a full alpha class psyker? If so - wild theory but maybe she is one of the kids of Pater Sin? And covered herself since Sabbat Martyr? That ending to The Warmaster totally ruined every produced theory so far and totally turned everything upside down. But which again shows that Dan Abnett is a brilliant authors, whose books are totally worth the wait.

Which suffers from trying to be more than it could. Don't get me wrong - the book is awesome, but that ending - geeze. I would have definitely prefer to have a defined ending like 'Guns of Tanith'; 'Sabbat Martyr' or 'Only in death' instead of 'this'. The patience till the next book would be impossible. But - it is Gaunt Ghosts, regiment we all love and longed for. It is a story which should be definitely read by all fans - because it's totally worth your time. I give 'Warmaster' 4,5 out of 5.

If not for the 'issues' I mentioned above - it's definitely would have got a 10 out of 5. Dan Abnett - you did it sir. It is a book we waited for, longed for and counted days, months and years till it's release. And slowly suffer till the release of Anarch. After all - life is so unfair ; Dec 04, Andy rated it liked it.

As always with Abnett, it's a great read about more than just the shooting. Having waited years for something that feels like half of a book really doesn't sit well. Here's hoping the next one actually has an ending. Dec 02, Alexander rated it it was amazing. Holy thrones. I can't believe I've been reading this series for 17 years, and it's still amazing.

Mar 04, Tepintzin rated it liked it. The worst of the series. Very little happens, and it's padded out with battle scenes that don't have consequences. It also has the stupidest plotline I've yet seen in a Black Library book yet concerning Ibram Gaunt's progeny. I have Dan Abnett's "Magos" on order, and I hope that all Dan's writing mojo went into that book because it sure wasn't here.

It's strange to think this is the first time this website has visited this series. It's stranger still to think that we have gone so long after the previous novel's cliffhanger. Serving as one of Black Library's big flagship series and rivaled only by the Horus Heresy novels now Gotrek and Felix has ended, Gaunt's Ghosts is quintessential Warhammer 40, Equal parts Napoleonic War epic and science fiction battle campaign, it follows the efforts of Commissar-Colonel Gaunt and Tanith First and O It's strange to think this is the first time this website has visited this series.

Equal parts Napoleonic War epic and science fiction battle campaign, it follows the efforts of Commissar-Colonel Gaunt and Tanith First and Only light infantry regiment. Fighting their way across the Sabbat worlds, they are shown fighting various opponents across a multitude of battlegrounds. The series was praised for its balance of Warhammer's key elements, its "anyone can die" mentality without it becoming gratuitous, and was one of the key sagas which promoted the Imperial Guard's popularity.

So, as you can imagine, its return is a big thing. Synopsis Following the harrowing battle of Salvation's Reach, the remaining Ghosts are on their return flight back to Imperial lines.

Still reeling from the heavy casualties taken in the conflict, the atmosphere is tense and tempers are running high. Yet, they are not out of the fight just yet. Assailed by Chaos forces as they attempt to return, the Ghosts must fight tooth and nail to hold their transport vessel against the corsairs aligned with Sek. Even should they survive, stranger things still await them back with Imperial Command, along with an astounding revelation for Gaunt himself.

The Good Trying to start up a series after a six year gap was always going to be difficult, especially in the case of this one. Rather than having any kind of conclusion, Salvation's Reach was almost a cliffhanger, with the deaths of several major characters and the heroes stuck in enemy territory. They were on their way out, the journey and their return still had to be dealt with. So, this left the conundrum of both trying to directly resolve the stories established in that book while leaving it open to anyone who simply wanted to start up again.

Thankfully Abnett pulled this off spectacularly. The intro reminds the reader of who is alive and dead, but it does so in a natural and understated way. This is also folded into reminding people of the ongoing character changes, developments and recent repercussions as well.

This is all done within the first few pages and, while it is clearly written with series familiars in mind, it's open enough that anyone who has missed one or two books can quickly adjust to the current events. There is enough character drama on hand in these early stages to remind readers of the major issues plaguing its heroes, and of the tensions between units. The First and Only has been reborn several times now, with the most recent event still fresh in the memories of its troopers and the book does a good job of balancing this out against greater threats.

While it does prove to be combat heavy even by Gaunt's Ghosts standards, it nevertheless still has the quiet moments of character drama people value most. These serve to divide up the combat, but also to keep people guessing when it comes to certain new revelations. A mystery surrounding Gaunt's son in particular runs throughout the first act, and as one ends another quickly starts up.
