THE AMBASSADOR READS LIKE CLASSIC CONAN!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ambassador (Mass Market Paperback)
WOW! What a pleasant surprise of a read. The title sounded dull, but the cover's artwork and synopsis drew me in.Graham McNeill is an awesome writer, who fills this fantasy novel full of action, adventure, and horror. Complete with rich characterizations of both good and evil, The Ambassador storyline drives relentlessly forward with verve and wit. The mixing of genres works beautifully here, and with the choicest words, McNeill takes me on a journey I hated to stop reading. I have already purchased another of this author's work, and can't wait for the continuation sequel to this one. Ursun's Teeth promises to be an awesome thrill ride. And I for one will be there.

warhammer, yay!,
By Victoria Primeaux "Victoria Fay" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ambassador (Mass Market Paperback)
In a harsh and cold part of the Empire trouble is brewing. The city of Kislev has been mismanaged by the Empire's Ambassador and unfortunately for retired Imperial General Kaspar von Velton it's become his duty to rectify the problems. Kaspar finds he is quite unwelcome by the peoples of this land reminiscent of the Russian steppes, yet he needs their help to rebuild trust and fortify the city against the hordes of chaos which will soon descend to begin an invasion of utter domination. Among the problems is discovering who is pilfering supplies leaving the militia hungry, cold and rather miffed at such blatant abandonment from the Empire. Kaspar's woes don't end there however; it seems the Butcherman, the cities resident serial killer, has taken a personal interest in the newest Ambassador. Taunting Kaspar with trophies from his kills the Butcherman leads Kaspar on a not quite so merry chase in which he discovers it's not the prominent and apparent evil you need to watch out for, but the insidious evil which lies behind it all. The Ambassador is the beginning of what is sure to be a riveting tale in the Warhammer Realm. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Well written Kieslev,
By Elizabeth Parmeter "cherith" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ambassador (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first novel I've read in the Warhammer world, although I'm very familar with the world of Warhammer Fantasy already. What I truely enjoyed about this story was how McNeill wrote the city of Kielev. It's a beautiful, haunting city of Chaos and cold.
The story itself of a war hero become Ambassador fighting for his place in the city is decent. There's much I wish had been touched on that was left out. More story including the Tsarina would've been welcome. Although, I did enjoy the overlayed plot of the Butcherman, Kieslev's serial killer haunted by his past. I'm looking forward to reading the follow-up in The Ambassador Chronicles, Ursun's Teeth. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
