Book Description

Warhammer 40,000 Novels May 21, 2002
The eldar farseers can see the future - or more particularly, the futures. Endless possibilities stretch ahead of the galaxy. By manipulating events, the eldar can bring peace, for a time. But they are not powerful anymore - so they must find an agent. They must find one very special human being.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A destitute, half-mad spaceship captain and a Farseer team up to battle dark forces in William King's whirlwind adventure. When Auric, an elf-like seer, visits Janus Darke in a drug-ridden dive, tells him that their futures are entwined and offers him a fortune to journey into the deadly Eye of Terror, Janus writes Auric off as insane. Still, Janus goes along with Auric's plan and soon finds himself contending with a powerful force that is determined to steal the one thing he has left to lose his soul. Although the political structure of King's (Dragonslayer) fanciful world never fully comes into focus, he paints a bleak but compelling portrait of life in the 41st century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Eldar Book in 40k, January 2, 2008
By 
D. Cole (Osan AB, Korea) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Farseer (Warhammer) (Paperback)
I found this novel an entertaining read. It was exciting from start to finish and managed to convey the alien Eldar without becoming too alien of a read in the way that Eldar Prophecy was. The background material is also true to 40k; in addition, the background does a good job of bringing to life some areas of the 40k universe that you really can't get from a rulebook. The best example would have to be the navigator's view of crossing into the immaterium. Overall I recommend it as a good read. Definately light years beyond Goto's Eldar Prophecy, which ranks as one of the worst Black Librairy publications that I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 40K novel, July 30, 2003
By 
invictus (Lawrenceville, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Farseer (Warhammer 40,000 Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't understand what the reviewer below, who is an Eldar player, didn't have enough of in this novel; but for me who am not an Eldar player, I found plenty to love. Fast-paced action, a demon prince, an female Eldar warrior and a Farseer who seemed (at least to me) to be major players in the story as well as a battle in a mysterious dead city on an Eldar home world. The chapter about the Navigator's journey into the warp is fantastic, as well as all the background info about Eldar history. Good stuff if you want my opinion. In fact it is near to being my favorite of the 12 Warhammer novels I've read so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read, September 12, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Farseer (Warhammer 40,000 Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first Warhammer 40k book I have read. While I'm told there are others that are better, I did find this a worthy read. It's a must read for those interested in the Eldar. Though there are some very interesting isights into Eldar culture and history this book does nothing to solve the mystery of the Eldar. Oh, and the ending! I don't want to ruin it for you, but it's a shocker, and it definetly does prove that the Eldar are every bit the advanced, sometimes arrogant, mysterious beings the Imperium believes them to be.

Anxiously awaiting a sequel.
