Relation To Books First and Only (Gaunt's Ghosts #1)

In the Chaos-infested Sabbat system, Imperial Commissar Gaunt must lead his men through as much in-fighting amongst rival regiments as against the forces of Chaos.

For a thousand years, the Sabbat Worlds have been lost to the Imperium, claimed by the dread powers of Chaos. Now, a mighty crusade seeks to return the sector to Imperial rule. And at the forefront of that crusade are Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only – better known as Gaunt’s Ghosts. Trapped in the grinding trench warfare of Fortis Binary, the Ghosts find themselves drawn into a conspiracy to assassinate the crusade’s leader, Warmaster Macaroth. With enemies all around them and no one to trust, Gaunt and his men must find a way to save the warmaster and prevent the Sabbat Worlds Crusade from falling into anarchy – even if it means waging war on their supposed allies.

Piece Appertaining To Books First and Only (Gaunt's Ghosts #1)

Why has it taken me 10 years to finally read this book that one of my good friends told me to read back then? Stubborn I guess, who knows. Anyway, Dan Abnett's first 40K novel is well paced and very intriguing. He is my favorite of the Black Library's current authors and probably the best Marine author they have. Hear he starts the story of Gaunt and his First and Only Ghosts. They are an excellent regiment of imperial guard, and much like Abnett breathed life into the Lunar Wolves, and the Iron

I should not like this series, and everyone I know agrees with me. I can't help it! I sometimes indulge in military fiction, but never, never Warhammer. I only dared to read the first book because I had heard that there was more to it than I assumed (and the covers let on). Good characters, messed up plots, and Gaunt is a badass. Sometimes it does get a bit over my head, probably because of my utter Warhammer-ignorance, or maybe because it's getting a bit too military (I like to believe it's the

My entry back into sci-fi! Feels like I had an incredibly long break similar to what bad relationships tend to go through. In lieu of the time spent away, I chose some safe tie-ins. The writing is what initially pulled me into this universe. It's just as good as I remember. As the author himself stated in the introduction, everything that makes a solid story is present in this book. It's hard to believe that this is Dan's first 'long-form fiction' that was published. Then again, the man is a



THE EMPEROR FUCKING PROTECTS.

I didn't get very far before I gave up. No real plot, just piggybacking on a group of soldiers. Except: This is the far flung future with spaceships and laser weapons, but they're still using artillery, grenades, and fighting in trenches. No air support or orbital bombardments. I know I'm supposed to suspend my disbelief, but the lack of plot mixed with that, was too much.And, for a final quibble, Abnett kept referring to "coffee" as "caffeine". As in, "...poured himself a tiny cup of rich black

It's very, very difficult to write about this book & the "following" one, Ghostmaker. Both are, essentially, a collection of Gaunt's Ghost short stories with a longer novella tacked on at the end. This one works better because it's mostly later stories, once Abnett had really gotten a "feel" for what he could cover in a GG story, and his lyricism as an author has rarely achieved such a state as it did in this book. I'm sure if you're reading this you know the basic plot. Ibram Gaunt,
