Straight Silver

A little bit of humor there in the title, if you know the WH 40k universe. Straight Silver is another great example of how Dan Abnett can write a book on just about any field of battle. We've seen city fights, air drops, forest battles, and ship brawls, and yet he adds another to the list: trench warfare. Another great read by Dan Abnett.

I first read this because Im a fan of warhammer. I played chaos so i was looking for a chaos book. my choices were limited so this was the closest I could get. I thought t was going to be a bore at the beginning. But once the fighting started i couldnt put it down. This was my first warhammer book wich is to bad because Dan Abnitt probably writes the limit of enjoyment warhammer 40k books can go. so I was looking forword to the other four I bought but they just couldnt add up. But if you play warhammer 40k then you will probably like this book.

Straight Silver is my favorite book out of the Gaunt's Ghost's series. The book starts off with the Ghost's arriving at a world which as be engulfed in a 40 year tench war, wow. Straight Silver, like all the other Gaunt's ghosts books has wonderful detailed battle scenes, but that is not the reason why this is my favorite. I felt this book had wonderful character development and emotion. Unlike the other books in the series, Straight Silver was the only one almost to bring me to tears. Rawne, Larkin, Caffran, Criid, Soric, Gaunt, and all the ghost seemed to get a upgrade in this book. The writing and descriptions of the characters and the settings were Abnett at his best.Some fans of the Gaunt's Ghosts don't really like this book, other like myself,absolutey love this book. So give it a try, but read all the other first.

I've been a fan of Gaunt's Ghosts from the beginning, and every book has left me with a feeling of awe at Mr. Abnett's writing ability. this one is no different in that respect. A damned good book if there ever was one.
