Description

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...Separated from their friends during a vicious battle, Gotrek Gurnisson and Felix Jaeger are magically transported to the storm-wracked isle of Albion. Strange and dangerous creatures stalk the island and omens tell of a great evil that is rising - an evil that might destroy the entire world. With the aid of the show more natives of Albion and the mighty high elf mage Teclis, Gotrek and Felix must stop the secrets of the mysterious Old Ones from falling into the hands of servants of the Dark Gods. show less

Good job. Really reining in the out-of-control reading there, Nige. Are audio books crack? I think they may be crack. Anyway, the lads finally meet an Elf and go to Albion which is obviously some version of England, drenched in rain and fog, and the source of terrible threats to the entire world. Don't want to give too much away, but there might even be a giant. Gotrek may run his thumb along the edge of his axe until a drop of blood shows a few times. Felix may ponder the many strange turns his life has taken since he met the dwarf. There may even be some slaying. *Wink.*
When Felix and Gotrek are teleported (almost literally) to the savage Albion they have to face not only with an arrogant elf amgician but with an insane giant and the chaos magicians behind him who want to destoy the world... or something colse to it. Not as good as the previous books but with enough blood and carnage to have a good fun.
La oscuridad se cierne sobre la isla de Albión, asolada por las tormentas. Inmundas criaturas acechan una vez más y los presagios anuncian la llegada de un terrible mal. Gotrek y Félix se ven obligados a combatir los malignos poderes que aterrorizan a la población, antes de que crezcan hasta amenazar al mundo entero. Con la ayuda del poderoso mago de los altos elfos, Teclis, deben descifrar y valerse de los secretos de los Ancestrales. Sólo así cabe esperar que logren salvar a los inocentes derrotando al maestro oscuro.
