Au début j'ai été un peu déstabilisé, ne connaissant pas Necromunda et assez peu W40K.De prime abord ça semblait un peu lourd comme le sont souvent les romans de la franchise, mais on se prend au jeu sans s'en rendre compte et les pages finissent par se tourner toutes seules.
Well written, with interesting characters, and a surprisingly involved plot. BL tend towards straight action, but this one was a refreshing change that showed members of an Escher gang purposefully trying to save their skins, and getting vengeance. Kept me interested, moved well, and actually felt fulfilling, which is impressive for a novella of this size!
Wow, diese Mädels haben's drauf! Aber um in der Warhammer-Welt überleben zu können, ist das wohl auch eine Voraussetzung ;)Toll fand ich auch die Beschreibung der Beziehung von Jarene, die ihre Handlungen motiviert und erklärt. Es ist toll, dass immer mehr LGBTQ-Charaktere geschrieben werden, ohne dass ihre Sexualität spezifisch erklärt werden muss. Es ist nun einfach so - was muss man da noch weiter ausführen?Ansonsten bietet Mike Brooks erstklassige Necromunda-Unterhaltung mit allem, was dazug...
A light read from the GW Novella series. This book does a great job of really making it feel like people live in the underhive. It's not going to revolutionize your reading but you will likely enjoy it if you are interested in the setting.
Underhive crime intrigue! I've never followed the Necromunda sub-setting for 40K all that closely, but I know enough of the basics I didn't have any trouble following the plot here. Pretty fun all around.
Really didn't like this one. While being short (less than 100 pages with last 20 or so being boring action), the story somehow feels longer than it needs to be. I HATED the main characters because they didn't act like they were part of a Necromunda gang. I love the Eschers in the lore, easily my second favorite gang next to Van Saar but there is no way this lot are part of Escher, the main character, Jarene, is so indecisive, always being worried and feeling her 'gut tighten' (a phrase used far,...
An enjoyable, quick read.The action is visceral and the story is engaging. The ending is mediocre.Overall a decent slice-of-ganger-life in the Necromunda world.
Awesome introduction into the clan system of Necromunda.
This book is great. A nice and simple read filled with awesome action read this book. Done in a day. A 40k take on the Warriors and well worth it!
Really enjoyed this. Necromunda was a 40K setting I was totally unfamiliar with but this novella made me want more... now. Wanted: Dead is basically a re-skinned Western from the 50’s set in the dystopian Underhives of 40K. All the classic Western tropes are there in mutated form: a heist gone wrong, double crosses, a gunfight at the corral, etc. I loved it. Reminded me of my favorite Shadowrun novels but better written with more engaging characters, like Jarene (who I would gladly read a whole
Wanted: Dead is my favorite Necromunda novel and possibly in the top 10 favorite novels period. I like the main character, Jarene, a lot and she's cute with her girlfriend in way that seems real and doesn't make me want to gag or is salacious. It's also fucking brutal, which feels right for the Underhive. And speaking of the Underhive, this is the first novel that really talks about the anatomy of the Underhive that also really seems to understand it (ok there are others, but this one does so ve...
Necromunda.!Part Warriors, part Dread Pirate Roberts, action, and vengeance, just another day in the Underhive. I like Necromunda stories, they are usually high speed and really violent. Looking for more.Check it out.
Dammmmmn that was good. And not just because of the nearly all-female cast and queer protagonist. Wanted: Dead is an exciting tale of danger, betrayal, and loyalty with a twist towards the end I did not see coming and really cool descriptions of a crumbling dystopic city. This needs to be a graphic novel! I had found Brooks's e-short "The Path Unclear" fairly mediocre so this was quite a pleasant surprise.
This tells the story of Jarene, a hardened Escher ganger and member of the Wild Cats gang, who finds herself in a tight spot when an ambush goes awry. Life in the underhive is tough at the best of times, but when the Wild Cats find wind up outlawed, hunted and on the run, Jarene has to dig deep and make some difficult decisions if she’s to survive, and protect those she loves the most.An all-female cast of protagonists lends the story a genuinely fresh feel, enhanced by Brooks’ smart exploration...
The first book I have read in the Black Library 'Novella Series 1', and it's a classic Necormunda tale of gangs, treachery and just a little bit of hope for the near future.Brooks captures the spirit of the Necromunda Hive and the Gangs within it perfectly with his protrayal of two Escher gangs and a Goliath gang. Keeping the action fast (as required in a Novella) there is certainly assumed knowledge of a lot of the background of Necromunda which may make it difficult as a first book for new re
Black library have recently released several novellas, all great entry level books for people wanting to learn more about the Games Workshop universe and this is one of my favourite so far. In my opinion there are not enough books being released aboout Necromunda but with its rerelease last year I am hoping to see a lot more. This is a fun little novella dealing with a heist gone wrong when an Escher gang finds themselves outlawed in the Underhive.
