The Founding
The Founding: A Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus | Dan Abnett
4 posts | 2 read
New edition of the first Gaunt's Ghosts omnibus, containing the opening story arc in the series, comprising the novels First and Only, Ghostmaker and Necropolis. In the Chaos-infested Sabbat System, the massed ranks of the Astra Militarum - more commonly known as the Imperial Guard - stand shoulder to shoulder as they counter an invasion by heretical forces. Amongst the defenders of the Imperium are the troops of the Tanith First-and-Only, a displaced regiment forced to flee their home planet before it succumbed to the unrelenting assault of Chaos. Nicknamed 'the Ghosts', their specialist scouting role sees them thrown into the thickest of the fighting. Led by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, they must evade the treacherous scheming of rival regiments and the lethal firepower of the enemy if they are to have any hope of achieving victory over the forces of Chaos.

Bookish Song Nr. 34: We Do It For The Glory

There are always songs that fit a book. And there are songs that just ARE the book. This song is so perfect, I almost started to cry. The melody, the atmosphere, the text - this is Gaunt. These are his Ghosts. This is The First And Only.

My crush on Gaunt gets deeper with eevery book I read about him. This novel collects the trilogy about the first fights of Gaunt's Ghosts. Now we finally experience what happened in the beginning... I love how Abnett draws the different characters, and especially their ambivalent relationship to Gaunt. And of course there are a lot of awesome battles to be fought. It's Warhammer after all.

I really managed to clear my #BookSpinBingo board 😅 Also finished my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin of course 😁 This time I might not review all my books, but only the spins. It's all about reducing stress...

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Fabulous month!!! Sometimes I just review the ones that gave me strong feelings and skip the middle-of-the-road ones haha 2y
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks You're right with doing it that way! 2y

Here's my handwritten #BookSpinBingo board 😁 That really goes a lot easier than doing it on my laptop. My #BookSpin is tagged. Nice one - comes with more than 900 pages 🤭 My #DoubleSpin is The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I'm always impressed with people who can do theirs on the computer... that never seems to work for me 😂 2y
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks If I had time enough, I'd still do it with Canva, but right now I'm just to busy... Maybe at some point I'll go back to the fancy computer designs 😄 2y
