Book 3 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.

On the shattered world of Verghast, Gaunt and his Ghosts find themselves embroiled within an ancient and deadly civil war as a mighty hive-city is besieged by an unrelenting foe.

Listen to it because: The return of a classic Gaunt's Ghosts novel! The Tanith First deploy to Verghast to help break the Chaos siege of Vervunhive. Tanks clash with daemon engines, Imperial Guardsmen make brave last stands and Colonel-Commissar Gaunt steps up and takes control of the war effort, showing for the first time the command abilities that will go on to make him a legend.

The story: On the world of Verghast, a grinding war between two hive cities - one loyal to the Imperium, the other fallen to the worship of the Dark Gods - is bolstered by the forces of the Astra Militarum, spearheaded by the Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only. But bitter rivalries and treachery threaten to derail the defence of Vervunhive, and it falls to Gaunt to take command of the Imperial forces and forge victory from an almost certain defeat.

Written by Dan Abnett.

An excellent novel, superseding its predecessors, Necropolis is an awesome story, a bit slow to take off, but once the main plot is launched, you're in for a treat.
Narration is perfect as always and gives good depth to the characters.
The ending is a bit rushed however, the final fight ends in a really weird way, which seems to be a recurring thing in Gaunts' novels.
Overall an really good novel, up there with the best from the Imperial Guard
85/100

Very good

I love it. From a human drama pov, from a political internal pov, from a military fiction pov and, of course from warhammer pov

The first three chapter are, by far, my favorite take on the human life in the warhammer world. I love to love and love to hate every character of the boon. I laugh with the ghosts and their grim sense of humor, I despaired and raged with the hivers seeing their home burn. I let myself weep at the humanity of any and all character.

I've read a few books of Dan Abnett, and as for now, I feel it is the best one from them.

The best W40k book I read so far
