This review is from: Blood on the Reik: Death's Messenger (Mass Market Paperback)
Rudi Walder lives with his adoptive father in a village named Kohlstadt. He grew up learning how to track, scout, hunt, and some weaponry. He also dreams of seeing the world and making a difference in it. His life changes when Luther Gerhard, a witch hunter, enters the village. Beastmen have been in the area and a Chaos cult has been spreading. Rudi and another villager, Hanna Reifenstal (herbalist), flee Kohlstadt. Gerhard has a bounty out on the couple, accusing them as heretics. Rudi and Hanna travel as siblings, trying to stay away from all those who would turn them over for the bounty. Currently, their only plan is to reach a city named Marienburg. As they travel, they will come to realize that they each have special abilities. ***** This is part of the Warhammer, Fantasy Roleplay, saga. This looks to be the first of a series by author Sandy Mitchell. If the rest of her novels are as awesome as this first installment, then she can add me to her list of fans. The authors has successfully captured the Warhammer flavor. This novel will grab your attention quickly and lead you on a fabulous adventure. Excellent! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

A Surprise First Volume...,
By Richard deMorris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blood on the Reik: Death's Messenger (Mass Market Paperback)
Death's Messenger is a nice opening volume of a unnamed series, at least on the cover of the book. A quick read, Mitchell provides a stirring plot and decent characters in the world of the Warhammer Fantasy setting.The story is a well plotted travel tale of two wayward spirits accused of wrongdoings and heresy. Throughout the story, we're drawn closer to the focal characters, and can't help but feel for their plight. However brief, the story leaves us with the question of what happens next as the story hits a cliffhanger ending. Hopefully, the next volume answers the questions of character raised during the course of the tale. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

from a Warhammer fan,
By J. Kircun "Heimdallr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blood on the Reik: Death's Messenger (Mass Market Paperback)
Being a Warhammer fan I really enjoyed this book. I peticularly liked how the author keeps the reader in the dark about the Warhammer universe, just as if you were some superstitious country folk. As the story goes on you discover more and more about truths in the Empire; this was the most enjoyable part of the book for me.
