Readers have long been demanding why there has never been a "Gaunt's Ghosts for the Warhammer world". The wait is over. Allow us to introduce you to the Ragged Company. Plucked from their everyday lives by the threat of a vast Chaos invasion, this motley band of militiamen seem very shabby and indisciplined alongside the knights and foot troops of the Emperor's army. But when the daemon hordes of the Ruinous Powers are hurling themselves against the city walls, no one worries about clean uniforms or marching in step. Total war, from the darkest and hardest medieval fantasy setting there is. The first awesome novel in a major new series featuring the Ragged Company!
