Vampireslayer: Gotrek and Felix: Warhammer Chronicles, Book 6

Product looks great, especially considering the age of the book. A lot of care was taken in the packaging. Thanks Rosann!

It was a very enjoyable read. The book arrived before the expected time in excellent condition, no stains or wrinkles on the pages. I would recommend the series to any fan of fantasy especially to those who enjoy dark gritty tails.

If you've got this far in the Gotrek and Felix story then you're going to read this regardless.Solid fun in the spirit of previous novels - well worth the time.

This novel seemed like a step back after the less episodic Beastslayer and Dragonslayer. However, the second part of the novel was very good and the ending has me anxious to start Giantslayer.

Slayer Gotrek Gurnisson is a dwarf on a death quest. He roams the land searching for the mightiest of evils to fight and slay until he is finally rewarded with a glorious death that will long be remembered and talked about for generations to come. Felix Jaegor is sworn to accompany the Slayer, however long it takes, even though it could end in his own death. Should he survive, it will be Felix's job to record and report the heroic dwarf's many battles, as well as how Gotrek fell in combat.Nearly a quarter of Praag's population is dead after their recent battle with the minions of Darkness. The same numbers again are expected to perish of hunger, disease and exposure to the northern winter chill. Times are hard and a few suspicious deaths foreshadow of worse to come. A few recent corpses have been drained of blood and have strange marks upon them. Though Felix is not sure why, these particular bodies give him very bad feelings. It is during these odd times that a rich antique collector approaches them for help and protection.To make a long story short, Adolphus Krieger (a vampire) and Roche (his hulking henchman) have been trying to convince the collector to hand over a certain talisman, the Eye of Khemri. Adolphus is holding off a blood-feeding madness lately and must continue to do so until he fulfills Nospheratus's ancient prophesy. Battle Mage Max is studying the talisman, accidentally springs an ancient trap, and rendered unconscious. Therefore, when Adolphus steals the Eye from a vault, Max is unable to keep the blood sucker from kidnapping Ulrika (the lovely warrior).Once Max is again conscious, the group must move quickly. Max's magic allows him and the group to follow the Eye, out and away from Praag, until Max's magical tracking spell is broken. If Ulrika still lives, she is more than likely being used as the vampire's portable blood supply, or worse, turned into a vampire herself. Time is of the essence not only to rescue Ulrika, but to keep Adolphus from becoming Lord of the Night and beginning the Age of Blood.***** The Skavens Thanquol and Lurk take a back seat in this episode of the Gotrek & Felix adventures. This time the author, William King, gives the main bad guy, Adolphus Krieger, a decent amount of scene time. For the first time in several Gotrek & Felix titles, the creature within the book's title is neither seen only in small, brief scenes, nor just a group name for an army or horde. Readers get to see an equal amount of the good guys and the bad guys.The author puts the female warrior, Ulrika, in the spotlight for a change as well. The love triangle between Ulrika, Felix, and Max broadens, expands, and some new information is given to the readers. In my opinion, there is a lot more action in this story than in the previous two. (On a side note, three titles - Dragonslayer, Beastslayer, and Vampireslayer - may be purchased and read under one cover titled GOTREK & FELIX: THE SECOND OMNIBUS!) With each story William King's writing gets better and better. *****Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

A powerful vampire is seeking to get his hands on an artifact that will let him control all of the bloodsucking fiends of the night, and only Gotrek, Felix and their friends stand in his way. Their efforts will bring them out of Praag into the frightening land of Slovinia where centuries before vampires ruled and where those creatures of the night are still far more powerful and influential than any opponent of chaos would want to believe.There’s a lot of tragedy in this novel as characters that King has developed over many books are all threatened with death and worse. There are also some great battles and one of my favorite moments in the entire series leads to the destruction of this latest peril. Fans of the series will love this book and fans of vampires will find a lot to enjoy in this novel as well.

The sixth installment in King's Slayer series picks up almost immediately where the last Beastslayer left off. While the Massed Chaos horde still threatens the old world Gotrek and Felix must combat a more urgent threat A Vampire count and his undead minions. And sicnce this is a Warhammer novel that means lots of bloodshed and the profound lack of melodrama that lurks within most modern fantasy. Fast paced, bloody, and often time, blackly comedic this book is not to be missed

I think this book is really good. It is full of action and it kept me reading. It is very discriptive and not predictable. Keep in mind that this book is not for faint hearted people because it is pretty gory.

I read this book years ago as a paperback and a re-read is no less enjoyable. The characters and action are superbly written and coupled with the scene setting and backdrop of the Warhammer world make this a must read.

This felt a bit By Numbers, but had some fine flourishes and I enjoyed it. Three might seem like a low mark, but its a strong three. I don;t really think that anyone reading Gotrek and Felix novels wants it to be deep really. Just get to the chopping! But things need to be emotionally convincing, and this isn't always. All the vampire cliches are here, and done quite well, it's generally fun, and has a satisfying send off (albeit one you might recognise from somewhere else). Was pretty good.

Very bleak and nasty land of sylvania and a creepy vampire tale

best series written withing the WFB lore, I especially love the Kislev part (in which this book falls) so had to have the original book for carrying on my person (the volumes are pretty bulky)

Gotrek is a Dwarf on a mission and Felix is a Poet along to record the tale. Brilliant, funny characters that chop up everything in their way. Finally a book without those damned Skaven squirting their musk of fear. Sixth book in the series.
