Publisher's Summary

A Gotrek Gurnisson novel.

When Felix Jaeger, a student, poet and minor political agitator, swears a drunken oath to a half-mad dwarf, it changes his life. Adventure awaits, as Felix records the mighty deeds of Gotrek Gurnisson, Trollslayer.   

Listen to It Because: This collection of stories is where the saga of Gotrek began. Mutants in the forest, goblins in the mountains, a troll beneath the world - from these small beginnings came the greatest partnership in the Old World and a hero who has crossed realities and become a legend.  

The Story: Gotrek and Felix: unsung heroes of the Empire or nothing more than common thieves and murderers? The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between and depends entirely upon whom you ask.... 

After fleeing the authorities in the Imperial city of Altdorf, Felix Jaeger swears a drunken oath to dour dwarf Gotrek Gurnisson to record his death saga. In the cold light of day, Felix's worst fears are confirmed as he learns that Gotrek is a Trollslayer - a dwarf doomed to seek out a heroic death in battle to atone for an unknown personal disgrace. Their travels throw them into a string of extraordinary adventures as Felix tries to survive his companion's destiny.  

Written by William King. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

Classic Gotrek & Felix

William King wrote some fantastic fiction for the Black Library back in the day. The 'Slayer' series of novels are some of the most fun reads that the Black Library has ever published. Trollslayer is an absolute must for any Warhammer Fantasy fan.

This is true grim dark Warhammer Fantasy set in the Old World. This is real Warhammer; not the absolute garbage known as 'Age of Sigmar'.

Brilliant! And the rest please :)

The books are amazing but to hear the first book Narrated by Jonathan Keeble was just as good!

Cannot wait to get the rest of the series if it’s released.

exciting and fast passed

more of a collection of short stories that follow one another. fast passed and fun.
my only criticism is that as each chapter is its own story, where there would be page breaks in a book to denote a new section or time passing, there is not even a pause in the audio book. meaning some times there are transitions that can be quite jarring, like conversational whiplash. however they are few and far between.

Episodic AOS battles and skirmishes.

This is a good snapshot into the world of AOS from a couple of reluctant hero-vagabonds, seeing the world through episodic battles and skirmishes. They meet people along the way, but the emphasis is on episodic moments and lacks a progression of a story or integrated adventure. Themes, philosophy and character development stay neutral, making it neither epic nor grimdark, just more dull than it could be. The story, especially the combat scenes, gets repetitive and as a result, character development is limited. Good moments, but highly overrated.

A great start to a wonderful tale

A friend gifted me a physical copy of this book over 15 years ago. I fell in love with the characters and the stories. Jonathan Keeble put on a wonderful performance for both the voices of Gotrek and Felix.
