5.0 out of 5 stars
Blood Bowl, Book Four,
By
This review is from: Rumble in the Jungle (Blood Bowl) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Bad Bay Hackers are in bliss. They have won the Spike! Magazine tournament. Blood Bowl is still the most violent, and favorite, sport known. Dunk Hoffnung, the star thrower, has seen many teammates die while playing the game they love so much. Spinne is still Dunk's girlfriend, as well as the team's best catcher. His brother, Dirk, and his two friends M'Grash (an ogre) and Edgar (a treeman) are still alive and playing the game with him.
After the latest game, a lovely and sturdy woman invites them to take on the undefeated Amazons in the Tobazco Bowl. The woman is named Enojaha (Ay-No-Ha-Da), ace promoter for the Lustrian Lusties. The stadium for the Tobazco Bowl is formed in the natural crater in the top of a dormant volcano. However, during the game the volcano will no longer be dormant. (It adds to the fun of the game.) Coach Pegleg is determined not to travel all the way to the land of Lustria. Yet Dunk and Dirk are just as determined to go. Enogaha has proof that Kirta (their long thought dead sister) is on the Amazonian team - seems playing Blood Bowl runs in the family. Smooth sailing is not in the forecast. They must fight off amorous fishwomen (mermaids), zombies, "pirates", a giant whirlpool, and even cannibalistic pygmy halflings before they even reach Lustria. Surely the worst is over ... ***** I am absolutely thrilled that author Matt Forbeck has published some fresh blood of the Blood Bowl saga. Personally, I am not a football fan, yet I am totally hooked on Blood Bowl. Just goes to show that you do not have to be a sports fan to thoroughly enjoy this fantasy series. The action begins in the very first paragraph. From then on it is non-stop action, adventure, humor, and blood. Author Matt Forbeck seems to have a warped sense of humor that he can make ooze from his poisonous pen and into his stories. Even during the darkest parts of this story I kept finding myself laughing out loud (and ignoring the curious glances from those around me at the time). Amazing! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews. |
