About this listen

A Gotrek novel

When the Bad Moon rises, Gotrek Gurnisson descends into the heart of Skragrott, the Loonking's twisted, fungal empire in pursuit of vengeance.

Listen to it because:

The Slayer hunts the most ancient enemies of his people in the heart of their domain. It may not be the world he was born in, and they may go by the name grots now, but no self-respecting dwarf is ever going to turn down the chance to kill hordes of goblins....

The story:

Hell-bent on ridding himself of the Fyreslayer rune buried in his chest, Gotrek Gurnisson, the greatest slayer to ever live, travels deep into the strange, alchemical realm of Chamon. Using their mysterious aether-science, the Kharadron overlords of Barak-Urbaz offer an end to Gotrek’s quest. But, as the Bad Moon rises and murderous Gloomspite Gitz threaten to destroy the sky-port, Gotrek pits himself against the most ancient enemy of his people - the greenskins. While his aelven travelling companion, Maleneth Witchblade, struggles to keep him alive, Gotrek throws himself headlong into a bloody battle for survival that will take him into the dank, fungal heart of Skragrott’s Asylum.

Written by Darius Hinks. Running time 9 hours 46 minutes. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

Best frenemies forever!

Always a pleasure to enjoy the quips and derisive witty banter between Gotrek and Maleneth. This publication also explores an interesting tie between the two that neither wish to acknowledge and furiously deny.

Gotrek is back! Again.

I love to hear Gotrek’s adventures. And this book is especially entertaining. The Grots are just as charismatic and fun as the slayer him self!

Well written AOS book, worth a read.

Some of the books in the AOS universe aren't great, this is great though! evocative and interesting the grots make for quite interesting and unusual antagonists.

A worthy addition to the Gotrek mythos

Gitslayer follows in the now-old tradition of Gotrek stories in being something of a filler novel. It is a story where Gotrek is pitted against a particular foe whose race is largely chosen from a list of races that haven't been the antagonistic focus of a previous book. Nothing happens in terms of a broader story, though there are hints of some greater arc being developed. But, as with previous Gotrek novels that follow this format the tale is still worth telling and reading.

Solid git bashing action

Get this if you like Gortrex, if you like the Khadron and the Gloomspite. Its Jonathan Keeble so its a fantastic narration and he does the voices of the characters brilliantly.

The story is fine, nothing to spectacular, for me the best bits were expanding Gortrex and Malanith's characters and pushing their arcs and the story forward. The world of the Gloomspite Guts is also fantastically written and coupled with some vignettes of the wider mortal relms the books continues to build on what is now one of the the best fantasy settings. However its not spectacular the plot is fairly predictable and the villains, although fun, danger the screen time they deserve.

Full confession I have a Gobbo bias

As a newer fan to the Gotrek saga I'm really enjoying his adventures across the mortal realms.

As mentioned above I'm some what of a sucker for Warhammer Greenskins and I personally think that their level of personality and Chaos shines throughout the novel. A good balance has been struck between their inherent silliness and the genuine threat that the Gloomspite Gitz can actually pose to the mortal realms (Some of my favorite parts were in fact the cutaways to random Chaos lords getting absolutley trolled by the Gobbos. Out of the three in this series that I've listened too Skragfang and Co are the best antagnonists so far in the AOS series.

Voice acting is still super with Gotrek's unabashed hatred for his peoples Grobi adverseries coming across clearly

Favourite of the AOS Gotrek's so far
