Brunner, the dark bounter hunter of darkness, is an island of steel will and mercenary attitude. The fun in this story is wondering how and where his humanity is going to surface and alter the story.
Not my usual sort of read but i did really enjoy it.So much so that I got The Space Wolf Omnibus by William King and I'm a good 250 pages into that and liking it. I also managed to find the first Horus book by Dan Abnett (Who is apparently well liked by the 40k readers)So fingers crossed I enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed Brunner and the start of the Space Wolf Omnibus.
Good, but a bit repetitive. Maybe as a stand-alone book this would have been one more star. I did like the short story structure couched in the efforts of a penny-dreadful author inside that fantasy world, but after awhile the constant description of the protagonist became a bit heavy-handed and repetitive.Other than that, solid writing. Any time I can find myself routing for a dark hero, the author is doing something right. However, in this case, it may be because his world is so dreadfully ble...
The only thing that stopped me giving this book a 5-star rating was some of the repetition and unimaginative wordplay; the story itself is one of the best I've ever read. There are those out there who are hesitant to begin reading a story set in the Warhammer world because they either don't know the lore and background, or they think they won't understand the terminology used in the stories: if you are one of these people, this may be the perfect introductory story for you. There is minimal refe...
Great book...I love the characters...A must read for sure!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK COVER IS THAT?Say, do you remember when Brunner looked halfway decent?Now we have daddy short legs instead:Were they even trying? He looks like a little kid in his dad's armor going out for trick or treat; and why is he resting the blade on his bare fingers, is he a dumbass too?This is by far the worst Warhammer cover to date, and what pisses me off even more is that they screwed up a C. L. Werner omnibus. C. L. Werner out of all people.Unforgivable. This is fucking unacceptable.
This was great. I want to dig up one of my friends warhammer boards and give it a go after finishing this book. It has that delightful familiar fantasy-war feel to it. Not too grim but at the same time not over the top in its fantastical silliness.Good and easy read.
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a novel the way I enjoyed this Warhammer Brunner omnibus!Great action, cool characters and a massiv, dark, gritty, bloody and EPIC world to travel in. Amazing.
8/10
[note: "Brunner the Bounty Hunter" is an omnibus collecting all the short stories, originally collected in volumes titled "Blood & Steel" and "Blood Money", and the novel "Blood of the Dragon"]From the pen of C. L. Werner, one of today’s greatest fantasy writers and certainly one of the top talents employed by Black Library (BL), come the dark and brutal adventures of the ruthless bounty hunter called Brunner.“Brunner: The Bounty Hunter” is in fact an omnibus, collecting all the Brunner-related
Brunner is a collection of tales set in the "Grim Dark" world of Warhammer. He's more protagonist than hero and that's okay with me. Merciless, smart, tough as nails and relentless, Brunner is a notorious bounty killer. A bogeyman among the underworld. His name is whispered among thieves as legend. With good reason, Brunner nearly always gets his bounty and no one escapes him alive. Brunner isn't just a stereotypical invincible action character either. He doesn't win because he's the Terminator,...
An enjoyable romp through a gritty world.Its dark and grim, with Brunner living his own way. He's no golden boy and the short stories are varied and full of dark fun.He seems to be a bit of a Gary-Stu (seemingly free of weeknesses) but as the story comes together you see it. And when the story wraps up it feels complete.If you like your stories pre-LGBTQ.. you'd like this.
C. L. Werner doesn't need to say how horrifying the situations and actions are, you'll be able to tell from just the descriptions. The descriptive wording isn't the only good part, the way the story is written it feels like Brunner is so superior to the reader he doesn't bother explaining why he did something and just shows the results. This book is the edgier fantasy version of The Mandalorian. I recommend this to anybody who can visualize well, but if you have a weak stomach I suggest taking f...
Warhammer version of the count of Monte Cristo. Except he turns into a bounty hunter and is a a bad ass.
This 2 star rating should be taken with a bit of an codifier. I didn't finish the omnibus, for reasons described below, so perhaps my impressions would have changed if I felt like continuing on, but honestly I didn't want to.Stand alone, I found each of the stories enjoyable. Brunner is a fun character to read about. Even a few together were entertaining. However, the first 2/3 of the omnibus are largely unrelated short stories compiled together of roughly the same thing, Brunner gathering bount...
Ever wondered what Boba Fett would be like in a fantasy setting? Look no further! Warhammer's most notorious bounty hunter is the infamous Brunner, feared by criminals, outlaws and those on the run in the old world for his grim determination, his cunning mind linked to an old lone wolf and his sharp butcher's knife headtaker (alongside the rest of his big arsenal of weapons and tricks). This bundle brings together all of the Brunner stories in one convenient collection and they have even been re...
Ive been a long time fan of Warhammer and 40k (Black Templars are best space marines), and have read and enjoyed dozens of books from tbe setting. This was no different. Brunner is a no nonsense bounty hunter that will do just about anything for the right price. From dragons, werewolves, vampires, and vermin he's seen it all. While incorporating a similar style through each of the short stories, Werner is able to create a tangible feeling and establish more and more character development while n...
Thrills! Chills! Kills!I happened upon this book ( as well as a bunch of other Warhammer paperbacks) at a local store's going out of business sale. Fantasy makes up a very small portion of my reading list. In fact, to date I've only read about half a dozen Fantasy novels, three of which belonged to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy..the other belonging to Sean Russel's Swans War Triology..but I digress...In any event I'm glad I decided to pick this one up. I've never read a Warhammer novel before. I...

I finally finished this omnibus, and despite some initial reservations, I have to say I quite liked it.Let me first mention what's in the book. The omnibus contains three previously published novels- Blood and Steel, Blood Money, and Blood of the Dragon, as well as the short story "What Price Vengeance". All the books/stories in the omnibus cover the exploits and adventures of Brunner, a mysterious bounty hunter known to always get his man, creature, or anything.Now, I listed the omnibus' inclus...
