I wonder do the various Necromunda books offer anything worth reading or checking out?

I've not read any of them and am not familiar with the authors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482038/4863368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482038/4863368.page GMT WH40K - the title character is a rogue that goes for style and is happy to make enough money to live comfortably for a few days. Comfort meaning the ability to buy some cheap booze and have a bar wench sit in his lap.

Incidentally, they've collected them (and the graphic novels) in one omnibus on Black Library. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482038/4863416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482038/4863416.page GMT
I'm going to go against the grain and state that the Kal Jericho book Blood Royale was a really terrible cliche from beginning to end. My understanding is that other stories with him as a character are better. Really, the writing is terrible and the excuse that it's meant to emulate hack pulp writing is no excuse at all.

Salvation starts off great, with an interesting description of a library in a noble sub-spire. As the novel progresses it gets more and more goofy. As I recall it seems to imply that noone ever goes back uphive past the wall, which is simply untrue. Also disappointing is the way the lower hive houses are described- they're almost overlooked entirely, suggesting that underhive gangs are the ones making contract with the noble houses. It's been a while since I read it so I might be off.

Junktion is great. I think it has the best story and description of what it is really like culturally, economically, and visually downhive. I'd recommend that one highly. I noticed that reviews of it on Amazon aren't that great compared to other Necro books, but quite frankly I believe it requires more thinking and has a more complicated interwoven plot than the others. I think you'll enjoy it based off your writings here on Dakka.

I enjoyed Survival Instinct as well, for its overview of hive life. Status Deadzone in an anthology of stories ranging from headshakingly bad to very interesting.

Kid, send me PM and I'll post some of them along to you if you'd like. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482038/4866352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/482038/4866352.page GMT
