Product Description

Deep within the twisted hell-storms of the warp lies the daemon world of Torvendis, a planet damned by the dark powers of Chaos. Savage battle has raged for so long that the very bedrock of the planet is formed from strata of crushed bodies. The arrival of a mysterious stranger threatens to upset the balance of power currently held by Lady Charybdia, princess of Slaanesh, precipitating a bloody revolution. But are the stranger's motives as straightforward as they appear or do the fickle powers of Chaos have one last trick to play?

Excellent
After finishing Bens previous book, Soul Drinker, I was mildly annoyed he had not followed immediately with another tale of that Space Marine Chapter, and instead chosen to write Daemon World, of which I knew nothing about, fearing he might have changed tack and tried something different to the massive battle scenes and unending action that littered his debut.
Well, I had no need to worry, as if you drop Daemon World on the floor, any page it lands open on will be dripping with bloodshed and the screams of war. The action is excellently orchestrated again. The battles are large scale and grand at times, close and dirty in others. Ben vividly sets up his battlefield, then goes hell for leather pitting every undesirable agent of chaos from the Warhammer Universe against one another. The result is unrelenting and bloody enCounter once more.

If you are into Warhammer Books you _have_ to read Ben Counter. If you enjoy action heavy sci-fi then the same applies.

Keep them coming.

good fun!
I'l keep this short and sweet. It was a good idea for a book, a chaos world that blended the medievil feel of warhammer in a 40k gallaxy. Lot's of epic and gory battles which is to be expected in a book about chaos. Read through it very quickly, as it painted a magical and wrong world in my mind. I liked Ben Counter Soul Drinker book but to be fare I liked this book far more

Without a doubt, the best book Ben C has EVER written
My God, this book is brilliant. The story is brilliant, the drama is brilliant, the whole thing is brilliant!

Literally the book starts at a fast pace, then BANG, the whole book erupts into non stop, fantastical, 3D vision, with dolby surround sound ACTION.

loved it, well written, super duper plot.. Ben dude, you did wicked.

Buy this book!
