It brings together two of Abnett’s most famous creations: Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor, crippled hero of the Ravenor trilogy, and the infamous radical Gregor Eisenhorn. To start with, I remember the book looked great, and I sure was anticipating sitting down to read it. So I have to write this relying solely on memory - and fleeting memory at that. If evidence is any guide, I’ll find it on laundry day, at the bottom of a pile of gym socks. I’m pretty sure it’s still in the house, somewhere. I bought it a few weeks ago and it vanished scant hours after it was delivered. Case in point: Pariah: Ravenor vs Eisenhorn, the new novel from superstar Dan Abnett. Maybe it’s because my sons, die-hard Warhammer 40K fans both, keep stealing the frickin’ books the instant they arrive. Something of a crime, since they specialize in exactly the kind of thing we celebrate - exciting, original adventure fiction from talented writers, set in a wonderfully realized fantasy world. We don’t show Black Library and Games Workshop enough love here at Black Gate.
