Archaon faces unimaginable perils and devastating betrayals in his quest to assume the mantle of Lord of Chaos, the harbinger of the End Times.
Archaon is the Everchosen, the warrior who will lead the final, cataclysmic assault that will usher in the End Times and the reign of the Ruinous Powers. But he was not always thus – he was once a man, a devout servant of the warrior-god Sigmar. This book tells of his origins, and of his epic quest to claim the six great treasures of Chaos and bring death to the world as the Lord of Chaos. This book collects together the novels Archaon: Everchosen and Archaon: Lord of Chaos, plus the short story "Archaon: The Rise and the Fall".

I quite enjoyed this portrayal of Archaon, depicting the emergence of a world threat by starting with the origins of a good man. A great deal of this book can best be described as "Evil vs. Evil" which is the kind of struggle I enjoy having depicted before me. The protagonist, Archaon, makes an excellent Anti-Hero as he fights his way past everything the world can throw at him. He is an engaging and fun character to travel with, especially for bloodthirsty readers like myself. More importantly, reading this novel adds to the enjoyment of playing the Chaos Warriors in Total War: Warhammer which is certainly welcome. In short, if you want Warhammer bad guys at their best then I highly recommend reading this book.
It was a good book. It was a nice peek at Archeon. However, some parts of the book went beyond defying belief and hit the realm of unbelieveable at full speed.

I felt like I was on a quick tour through Archaon's history. Everchosen didnt hit it's stride till 3/4 through. Author had a tendency to repeat the same points and thoughts multiple times over the course of a chapter. I didnt need Archaon describing the same beastmen in 10 different ways through a single chapter.
Lord of Chaos is better overall. It was a fun read. If you like Warhammer pick it up.
