Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 34
Within the vast sprawl of Varangantua lies the Spoil. It is a broken crossroads, forsaken by the Lex, abandoned by the city’s uncaring masters, where the only choice is a slow death in the manufactories, or a quick one on the street. And it is in turmoil. Andreti Sorokin, the gangster king whose vicious rule brought order to the Spoil, is dead, slain in the most brutal fashion. Melita Voronova, skilled info-broker and reluctant agent of the imperious Valtteri cartel, is tasked with uncovering the mystery of who killed Sorokin.

I've enjoyed all of the Warhammer Crime books published so far, but this one is underwhelming.
The writing is fine from a technical level, but the story is, for me, just flat and the characters are uninspiring and un-engaging. I just didn't care about them, or the problem they're trying to solve.
The narrator does an excellent job, I'd happily listen to more books by her.

Unbeknown to them, a group of grim-eyed, bloodthirsty warriors stalk the mountains. Men who have never known defeat, to whom revenge and torture are meat and drink. For 10,000 in gold they are eager to kill the woodsman. Battle-hardened warriors all, they have no fear of this task - but they should have.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
This would be a great book, if it was complete
Any additional comments?
The recording ends with several chapters still to go in the book

An Entertaining listen
Revisado: 12-21-07
This tale takes up where the previous book ended and follows a very similar style. It is an enjoyable listen and while it is similar to the initial tale (which is to be expected in some ways) it is different enough to keep you interested, You are left wondering a little more about the character world in the installment but this all just adds to the experience in my opinion. If you enjoyed the first book in the series you will not e disappointed in this one

Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor.

A surprisingly good series
Revisado: 08-08-05
I was pleasantly surprised by this series of books. The characters are enjoyable from the first and as they develop across the series you find some new depths. Sometimes keeping a handle on what is happening can be a bit tricky at first but I found I soon got into the flow of it. At times it is distracting that the narrator miss pronounces some of the words and the strange accents are a bit comical, but it does not distract too much. The book does not have a complex plot and because of this it works well as an audio book. Worth a listen for some good harmless fun
