Silvaro the Hawk, thought to have been dead, reappears with a man Sesto at his side. Luka reclaims his ship, the Rumor, and his crew the Reivers. Luka tells them they are pirates turned privateers, to face a menace that has stopped all trade. The Butcher Ship is captained by a deamon lord and crewed by zombies. They kill every one they meet, giving no quarter.
I enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and this book is right in that vein. If you like pirates, zombies, deamons, curses, and treachery, this is for you. (less)

It deals with Matthias Thulmann a member of the Order of the Templars of Sigmar also known as the Witch Hunters. The Witch Hunters are feared by all, for everyone has something or someone to hide. They seek out and destroy heretics by fire be they; warlocks, witches, sorcerers, fortune-tellers, necromancers, worshippers of dark gods, deviants, mutants, blasphemers, sinners, mutterers of profanities, servants of Demons, pornographers, or anything else that is an affront to Sigmar.
Matthias and his companion Streng, a mercenary who tortures heretics for Thulmann, are pitted against the undead, skaven, curses, and a heretic doctor, while looking for a book of powerful spells before it can be used against the people of the empire. this was a great book to read. (less)

Read enough of the Warhammer Fantasy and the setting itself becomes a character in its own way. The story, as usual, times are desperate for the empire particularly the province of Hochland. Again as usual the forests are crawling with Beastmen. Unusual in this case is the Beastmen have been using tactics to drive the armies of Hochland to the breaking point. Mercenary Captain Eriksson comes to Hochland to capitalize on this desperate situation. Buying the freedom of prisoners, Eriksson forms a mercenary band of; thieves, cutthroats, murderers, rapers, and all around ne'er do wells. Eriksson must lead his band into one bloody battle after another fighting a foe that is warped my the forces of chaos itself. Robert Earl wrote a good book, but to be honest the ending was a little weak and predictable. It seemed abrupt like it was cut short, that is what kept it from a 5 star review. Hopefully it is the first of a series I look to more of Captain Eriksson and The Gentlemen's Free Company of Hergig. (less)
