Zath Chauvert Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Has anyone read Fell Cargo, by Dan Abnett yet? It's part of the Warhammer series and is supposedly about people fighting a bunch of zombie pirates. I'm tempted to pick it up, but I've never read any of the other novels in the series, so I don't want to pay good money for something that that's not going to make any sense to someone who isn't already familiar with the Warhammer universe. Can anyone give a recommendation either for or against it?

Zephaniah W Nash Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I just finished reading the book. This particular novel isn't as dependent on already knowing the Warhammer setting as a lot of others I've read, but there are a number of references to it. Overall, I think someone without the Warhammer knowledge will be able to read and enjoy the book - they just won't catch a few of the "in" references. I don't think it would make the book unreadable, though. Most of these would be the references to various countries - based on real world countries, but... Warhammer-ized. Overall, I prefer some of this author's other books over this one (particularly the Gaunt's Ghosts books in the Warhammer 40,000 setting).
