Survival Instinct

Dis iz 'un uv da bestest books I 'as evva read, by da name uv da Great Green Unclean 'Un! Dis 'ere novel iz 'bout a fem pink skin who lives by 'er wit 'n 'er weapons, bit lik da ork boyz really. She's tuff as nails an just as mean too! She runs from 'er past but like it always does it comes back ter get ya 'n she must face wot she 'as done. Ifin ya evva played Necromunda ya will remba 'er as "da psycobitch" 'an dat sayin' sumfing as da undahive is a nasty place where notority truely means sumfing! Dis 'ere book is sumfing dat I'ze can't recomend enough fer anyone ta read sos read it er I'll 'ave ta thump ya 'n ya don't want dat now do ya?

Forget the fact that it's a Warhammer 40k novel. It's a dark, fast reading, adventure with cool gadgets and a bloody heroine who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty doing the wet work. Mad Donna is a noble daughter turned Escher gang member turned solo outlaw. After a crime committed in the elitist Spire, she turns to the Underhive where the only law is that which rests on your hip. Things are bearable and Mad Donna is at least feared enough to be left alone until a summons from her past makes her realize that her past crime has never been forgotten. She's not all tough as nails and I would have loved to have seen a bit more depth to the characters but as with the other Necromunda novels take them for what they are, a fast read adventure in a dark grim bloody future where wits and a quick draw keep you alive. Definitely better than I expected and worth checking out the rest of the series if they stay this good.
