Robert Earl (Author)

Book Description

Series: Warhammer Novels | Publication Date: October 10, 2006

The corrupting nature of magic is revealed! The dark nature of the Warhammer world's wizards is explored in Robert Earl's latest action-packed novel. With very strong cross-over with the "Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay" books, "Realm of Sorcery" and "Tome of Corruption", this novel is targetted to appeal to the legions of WFRP fans and fantasy readers alike. When rogue wizard Grendl flees the Empire, a disgraced wizard and a fanatical team of witch hunters are sent to track him down. But as hunters and hunted stray into the Northern Wastes, all bets are off as the corrupting touch of Chaos starts to affect them all...

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't get enough of Chaos, February 15, 2009

Robert Earl has written a number of 'Warhammer Fantasy' novels. This is not a long novel, really more like a novella. Perhaps if it had been longer there would be more flesh on the bones here. That does not mean this was not a fun read. Both the plot and characters were enjoyable, it just needed another 100 pages. I'm giving this 4 stars (though really it should be 3.5), maybe the bonus 1/2 star is for the wonderfully lurid cover art. I have already picked up the other 'Warhammer Fantasy' books by Robert Earl and look forward to reading them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good premise, but bounces around too much, August 15, 2008

It's an amazing read, but the book continuously jumps from character to character and plot to plot.

It definitely captures the feel of Warhammer FRP, but I think that it could have been fleshed out a little more (the book is very short).

Robert Earl's other three books were much better--don't get me wrong the book is okay--but just okay not great. It jumps around a lot and never really seems to find any direction. I recommend his other three books wholeheartedly, and this one too if your looking for a quick read just don't expect too much.
