What makes Warhammer awesome

Fantastic book. The Warhammer world is one full of darkness and Witch Hunter epitomizes this. This was one of the first books that I truly had a hard time putting down, the story is that interesting. The characters in this book are what make the story so strong. If your looking for a book a bit on the dark side, and love fantasy, get this book.

Solomon Kane in Middle Earth...

This was only the second Warhammer book that I've read, but without a doubt it is one of the best dark fantasy stories that I've seen. Werner did a amazing job bringing his characters to life. He provided the reader an indepth look at their personal motivations and private thoughts. The story's setting had a beautifully detailed Gothic and Germanic feel. This wonderfully set the stage for his horrific creatures and slightly fanatical hero. Mathias Thulmann, the protagonist, is a determined and devoted Knight Templar in the guise of a witch hunter. I was most amused with the Witch Hunters sadistic thug of a partner, Streng. In all, if you are remotely interested in horror or fantasy then this is a must read. I would also recommend Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane stories, which have recently been republished. Howard is best known as the creator of the legendary Conan.

Accurate portrayal of warhammer fantasy

The novel itself has many strengths and few weaknesses. The story flows very smoothly and has a decent plot but it's greatest strength is in the character details. Witch Hunter reflects well on the different perspectives and views of the main antagonists and protagonists. Motives are explained well and allows the reader to really get into the minds of the characters. The author also manages to convey a very real sense of grim desperation about many of the characters in the novel. This allows for a feel of the warhammer fantasy world that i have expected but not seen realized in other warhammer fiction. The only weakness as i saw it was that the author may have spent too long building the mystery and suspense. I found myself nodding off during the first half of the novel. It was well written but tended to get a bit boring during the first half. Once i reached the second half, it was a straight reading session til the end of the novel. I felt that certain segments could have been shortened, thus the 4 stars and not 5.

What a suprise

I got this book on a wimm, never had i heard of warhammer, i though i would read 5 pages and put it away. this is one of the best books i have ever read. i love warhammer now and well... YA. IT IS THAT GOOD! (P.S. there is a sequal coming out for this book i is supost to come out early 2005. YA, it is to be called whichfinder.)
