Book Club Book #157: Yarrick: Pyres of Armageddon by David Annandale
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, Discord, email, or vox cast.
For this episode, we’re readingFinal Deployment by RS Wilt. You can purchase it at Amazon and the Black Library. Sorry, audiobook fans!
From the back of the book:
Commissar Sebastian Yarrick returns to action to defend the world of Armageddon. When the largest ork horde seen for centuries hits the hive world, the Imperial forces are faced with an overwhelming attack. As battle rages across the planet, Yarrick and his allies lead the defence, striking at the orks in a series of daring assaults. Even if it means incurring the wrath of Armageddon’s corrupt Overlord, Commissar Yarrick will not let Armageddon fall.
Discussion guide forYarrick: Pyres of Armageddon:
Did you like the book?
Which parts stood out to you?
Of the insane battles in this book, which is your favorite?
Back to Armageddon. AGAIN. Is this planet worth it at this point?
This is where Yarrick essentially ascends to his final form. Are you still invested in him? Is his legend compelling?
Another day, another planetary governor who is as useless as he is corrupt. Was von Strab compelling?
Oh, Thraka. Do we like him in this? Are the orks put to good use?
This is, more or less, the end of Yarrick’s saga (in books). Are we sad to leave him?
It was all thanks to a little game called Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine that alerted Keri to the intricate world of WH40K. She's not into tabletop gaming, but she loves extended lore. After getting through just one omnibus, it was all downhill from there. She can't leave the local Citadel without $150 in books.
