In the grim darkness of the far future, manking teeters on the very brink of destruction. The galaxy spanning Imperium is under threat on all sides by a multitude of alien races and from within by the insidious forces of Chaos. Constant war is humanity's only chance of survival and standing at the forefront are the Space Marines - gentically engineered warriors, and the massed ranks of the Imperial Guard, each willing to lay down their lives for mankind's survival. Brimming with action-packed tales of bloodshed and courage from such authors as CS Goto (Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War) and Sandy Mitchell (For the Emperor and Caves of Ice), Bringers of Death throws you headling onto the desperate battlefields of the 41st millennium. Bringers of Death is an ideal entry point for all readers hungry for more action from the gothic future world of Warhammer 40,000.

A Mostly Good Mix of Tales

Reviewed in the United States on 1 November 2005

Verified Purchase

As with most anthologies, these five collected tales set in the grim universe of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40K offer a mixed batch in terms of quality. On a purely binary scale, I give three of the five a "thumbs up."

The first story, Even Unto Death by Mike Lee, deals with Space Wolf Scouts on an Ork occupied world. The scouts are comic-book heroes, surpassing regular battle brothers in their exploits, and none of the challenges presented in the tale seem to make them break much of a super-human sweat. The plot is plagued by too-convenient devices to advance the tale, and the Orks are written as boring, brainless antagonists.

The second, Red Reward by Mitchel Scanlon, involves the Imperial Guard and Commissariat. M. Scanlon has an excellent grasp of the 40K-feel, and his characters, while slightly hackneyed, are at least entertainingly so. He finishes the non-linear plot with a good twist. I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.

C.S. Goto seems to champion the Xeno-tale for the Black Library and his offering here, Menshad Korum, is no different, using Eldar as its main characters. Unfortunately, though he provides a very interesting concept for his tale, its execution leaves something to be desired. He works a little too hard to integrate named characters from the wargame into the tale, and his action sequences push beyond "suspension of disbelief."

The longest tale, Xenocide by Simon Jowett, is a well crafted yarn dealing with an Orkish invasion of an early-gunpowder era world (one quite similar in devolved technology to Warhammer Fantasy Battle, but otherwise unconnected). The characters are engaging and cunningly combine many disparate elements of the 40K background. Both the primary and secondary climaxes are unexpected and enjoyable. It's a suitable centerpiece for the anthology.

The last offering is another installment of Sandy Mitchell's Ciaphas Cain series, Sector 13. The short story is actually better than some of his longer works, presenting Commissar Cain at his worst, which is at his best and most humorous for the reader. It's a fitting, almost light-hearted, ending for an otherwise dark collection of tales.

Overall, the quality of the good work within these pages makes the collection worth reading, but there's a fly or two to work through in the ointment.

Great short story collection

Reviewed in the United States on 10 June 2013

Verified Purchase

Fast paced short story collection about the space marines (both loyalist and traitor). Recommend to those who are getting introduced to the subject matter or just need a break between full length novels.
