5.0 out of 5 stars The Warhammer Loremaster Flexes his Muscle, November 30, 2001

Gav Thorpe's 13th Legion returns again(sort of as only Kage survived, but he is back at least). Lt. Kage the antihero of the story once again finds himself back under Col. Schaeffer, but this time his mission is different he will be training and leading a kill team to assassinate a tau general. Thorpe's word is law and the Tau codex designers made sure not to contradict his prose. Thorpe's descriptions of the Tau are great, And Kage is fleshed out as a character even more so than in 13th legion.

3.0 out of 5 stars So Where did the fun from the last book go, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Kill Team (Warhammer 40,000 Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book right after I read the 13th legion book and I had a really hard time finishing it. I enjoyed 13th legion and could not put it down but this one was a completely different story. Throughout the whole book it just seems to drag on and on, especially through the middle with the meetings with the Tau. It did not seem to have the spark that the first book did, nor any suprises that the first one did. Then when it finally did get into some action towards the end of the book, it was over very fast. I was disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book 2, May 30, 2006

This review is from: Kill Team (Warhammer 40,000 Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

This title is the second book in the Last Chancers trilogy. The single novel was released in November 2001. It begins with Kage in prison waiting for Schaeffer to come back for him. Even if you read the first novel, you will find yourself a bit lost due to this. Yet once Kage is picked up, it is on to the next suicide mission. This time the mission targets a Tau general. In my opinion, it seems as though the author is changing his writing style. The smooth flow, if you can call any story set in the WH40K universe that, is missing. This one is more choppy. It gets slow often. I found myself even getting bored at some points.

*** All-in-all, it is not as wonderful as the first Last Chancers book, but not too bad either. Could have been much better, but by the same token, it could have been much worse. As of February 2006, readers have another option. All three titles in the Last Chancers trilogy, as well as two short stories that help tie the three main novels together, are now in one MASSIVE novel ISBN: 1844163008. However, if you want to keep each novel separate, then purchasing the stand alone novels is the way to go. ***
