Book Club Book #120: Lazarus: Enmity’s Edge by Gary Kloster

Every two weeks we read a new book in the WH40k universe and discuss it on our podcast. We invite you to read along with us and join in on our conversation via comments, Twitter, email, or vox cast.

For this episode, we’re reading Lazarus: Enmity’s Edge by Gary Kloster. You can purchase it at Amazon or Black Library, or on Audible.

From the back of the book:

Supreme Grand Master Azrael summons Lazarus and his Fifth Company to honour an old debt on the Knight world of Reis – a planet upon which the warp has set its hungry gaze.

But Lazarus is not so sure Reis wants to be saved – its Knights are long lost, its governance is dogged by political strife, and internecine conflict hampers the world’s defence against an ancient evil. ­An evil which, like Lazarus himself, refuses to die.

Questions to ponder after reading Lazarus: Enmity’s Edge:

• Did you like the book?
• Which parts stood out to you?
• Lazarus has some pretty big doubts. What will come of his conversation with Azreal? Is this foreshadowing for when Papa L comes home?
• Did you connect with Ysentrud, our human protagonist? Was she compelling?
• Was main antagonist a worthy adversary to our heroes? Did you understand his plight?
• Secrets upon secrets. Was the main “mystery” compelling? Did you like it?
• Did Lazarus learn the true meaning of Christmas?
• Pretty big tease at the end. What happens NEXT?
