It’s been a spell since the last Warhammer Crime novel, so we were thrilled to jump back into the insane world of Varangantua with The King of the Spoil by Jonathan D. Beer. It’s not about a probator, sanctioner, or any other enforcer, but an info-broker working for a crime cartel. Varangantua sounds like an amazing place, doesn’t it? Really, all of Alecto just sounds like the best place to vacation.
There’s a murder mystery, a revolution, corrupt officers of the Lex, and unhappy gangers. It really has everything Varangantua can offer, all in one novel. While we liked the book, it left an interesting taste in our mouths.
Next up is Longshot by another new author, Rob Young. It’s part of the Astra Militarum series, which we’ve really enjoyed. So, uh, we have high expectations for this one, even though it has the t’au. Which enemy is worse, the tau or genestealers/tyranids? Discuss amongst yourselves.
The King of the Spoil by Jonathan D. Beer vidcast is, of course, on YouTube, and the podcast is on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and virtually anywhere else you can find podcasts! If you haven’t read the book yet, better do that before you listen! If you like us, please subscribe or even leave a review!
Each episode will be in a traditional book club format. We will read one mutually agreed upon book to discuss at the club meeting aka podcast. Sometimes we will read brand new books, sometimes we will read old books, but there will be a method to our madness as to why.
