Death on the Reik is one of the older adventures, originally published by Games Workshop before they abandoned the WFRP line to Hogshead. The quality of GW's early work is evident in this product: an inspired storyline, terrific artwork and interesting locales.
The book details an epic journey the length of the River Reik challenging the players with a good balance of invetigation and action as they attempt to thwart the forces of Chaos.
While many people rate the Enemy Within and Shadows of Bogenhafen higher, this adventure is my personal favourite. Be warned that the ending seems a bit of an anti-climax. A more epic finale would have seen this book get a 5-star rating.
While many Warhammer FRP veterans enjoy this adventure and rate it highly, I prefer a more balanced style of adventure design. As it is written, the game features a lot of investigation and interaction, and almost no action. However if your group is fortunate enough to consist of players who prefer roleplay over combat, add one star - this adventure is made for you. Players with way too many weapon specialization skills would probably be unconscious with boredom before the end.
