The fate of Wissenland lies in the balance when a mighty Undead horde lays waste to the state. As the Imperial troops are pushed remorselessly back, the count and his advisors come up with a desperate plan - to find the missing Solland runefang, for with this legendary weapon they will surely win the day. Baron von Rabwald and a small force of men head into the mountains to seek the sword, but can they find it, let alone get back in time? "Runefang" is an explosive tale of fantasy adventure from C.L. Werner, author of the "Witchhunter" novels.

Decent, but has problems.,

This review is from: Runefang (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)
The land of Wissenla is beset by inhuman abominations. Zahaak, one of the Dark Lords of Nagash, is causing havoc. His deathless legion is laying waste to Wissenland, ending all life upon it. Soon it is determined that they only hope of salvation is in locating the legendary weapon of Count Eldred. It is a sword known by many names, the most famous being the Grudge Settler and Runefang. The dwarf Skanir Durgrund says it is possibly locked away in a dwarfish war-tomb somewhere in the Black Mountains.
Count Eberfeld sends Baron Ernst von Rabwald and the baron's champion, Max Kessler, to gather an assorted group and begin the expedition that will decide the fate of Wissenla. A halfling cook, an ogre, a dwarf, a road warden, and a Crone of Morr are but a few of the odd people chosen. The task of finding Runefang is made even more impossible due to a traitor within their midst and a greenskin warlord. As for Count Eberfeld, help just may come from an unexpected source - maybe. *** One of my pet peeves is a story that gives a character's full background only to kill the character off early on. This story is guilty of that, more than once. There are some characters that I could find no reason to even be mentioned in the story. The plot line is pretty good, but such an ancient and powerful weapon should not have been this easy to locate. All-in-all, this is not a bad book, but do not expect anything worth telling friends about. *** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Slow Start, Great Ending with twists in-between.,
By Red staR "RICH" (West Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Runefang (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book starts out pretty slow and actually boring but picks up pace after the second chapter. A champion killer named Kessler is hunting for the Runefang, a sword that will somehow by itself drive off hordes of undead from his lands.
This book has some interesting twists in it, and a few of them I didn't see coming, which is rare for me in books these days. There are plenty of fights too, and plenty of C.L. Werner's excellent descriptive writing. Not his best book, but not his worst either. It's worth a look.

Your Average Undead,

This review is from: Runefang (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)
C. L. Werner is one of the stronger writers in the 'Warhammer Fantasy' stable. For his best work go and read the 'Matthias Thulmann: Witch Hunter' trilogy. Runefang is not as well developed, but still a reasonable read. If you are new to Warhammer, pick up Matthias Thulmann instead. If you are already a fan of C. L. Werner, then this is okay, but not outstanding. 3.5 Stars.
