Mark of Chaos (Warhammer)

This novel is set the year following the Great War against Chaos (2302). The action mostly follows two characters Stefan von Kessel, a Captain in the Ostermark army and Hroth the Blooded a chaos champion. The book is virtually non-stop action as the two leaders fight their way to their eventual confrontation at Talabheim. The action is fast, furious and bloody as both champions must face external opponents and betrayal from their own side. The various battles are well-paced and provide enough details to engage the reader. The final battle is excellent The book is heavy on action and somewhat light on character development but I found both main characters to be interesting. Despite the fact that this book has the same plot as the video game of the same name, it is an excellent action-packed Warhammer novel, well worth reading.

nthony Reynolds' MARK OF CHAOS offers Warhammer fans a saga of war and the story of a young commander who must retain his honor by tracking down and destroying a dangerous enemy leader. The attention to detail and military action is superb and any library strong in military science fiction will want these.

this is the best warhammer book ever! not for the light hearted.
