The Vincula Insurgency: Ghost Dossier 1: Gaunt's Ghosts: Warhammer 40,000

It's been a problem with the new Warhammer 40k books to end on a cliff hanger just for sequel bait. This books dodges that whole line of bad writing by being worse, just stops mid third act. No cliff hanger no resolution just no more pages.

Maybe I was missing the point? This book is written in Dan Abnetts usual amazing style. The descriptions take you into the moment, be that a battle or just a conversation. So I cannot fault the story, however for the price it's way too short... Was expecting more, still enjoyed it though 😁

Good people of Amazon, DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?Welcome back to the early days of the Ghosts, set before the events of Ghostmaker ( the second GH novel) this short novel finds the men of the Tanith First and Only policing a troubled, newly liberated City. Spoiler; they don't enjoy it much. If you are a long time fan of the series you'll enjoy spending time with old friends long absent in the later books, if you are new to the series I would suggest starting with First and Only instead.

A lot of GW books are utter toss, but the Dan Abnett books are always a cut above the rest.

Abnett just has a knack for writing in a way which engages you.This short novel is set early in the Ghosts' story, so in a way it does not advance the narrative - in another way, it actually does. It certainly shines a light on the social background of the Sabbat Worlds as we learn more about its ethnic history. But the setting also means we get to meet some long-dead friends, which is always good.Vincula City itself seems like a terrible place; a hot, dry, tired, dangerous city, recently liberated by the crusade, riddled with insurgents. You get shooting, punching, kicking, sex and Gaunt delivers a very funny one-liner regarding Rawne's treatment of another officer. So, what more could you ask for?

A Ghost’s story with all the old favourite characters.I have been reading the Tanith Ghost’s stories since they came out, this was a great addition to the collection,Dan Abnett always leaves you wanting more, I look forward to more stories like this.I found it well worth the price.A nice little hardcover book.
