Utgivarens beskrivning
A Warhammer Crime Novel
Tormented by his past, Probator Quillon Drask’s reputation as the go-to detective for strange crimes has led him to the Polaris district of Varangantua. Warring families, corrupt officials, and a monstrous hunger stalk these streets, and Drask must overcome his own inner agonies to bring justice to the tormented city.
READ IT BECAUSE
See the world of the 41st Millennium from street level in this grisly crime drama that shines a light on what life is like in the Imperium's rancid underbelly.
THE STORY
“This city eats men…”
Quillon Drask is a haunted man, wrestling with the daemons of his past. With a reputation that draws only the strangest cases, he is intimately familiar with the malevolent underbelly of Varangantua. Yet nothing that has gone before could have prepared the probator for the horrors which now blight the district of Polaris.
Faced with a savage crime with frightening implications, Drask is thrust into a game of corruption and conspiracy, warring families, and blasphemous revelations. Only by mastering the bitter lessons of his career and his own tortured insight can Drask hope to bring the perpetrators to justice, and curb the monstrous hunger which stalks the city.
Written by Marc Collins.
Kundrecensioner
The best book in the Warhammer Crime series
Really good story which gives an interesting take on 40k city life (although quite a bit to high tech for my taste, self driving cars and all).
[Spoiler]
The only thing I would like to have been written better is the whole (rather silly) bionic eye thing, especially after the cyber attack (how did they stop the detonation, did it boot up to normal behaviour, why no worries that something similar could happen again, could it record/identify the arsonist?) and after the ”maul procedure” (no problems with normal eyesight?).
