Synopsis

"Gene the Hackman, top dog, him done the great Walk Around. Not for him the darkness, not for him the Time of Ice that we know today." Evelyn War is a Believer. She knows that in the Old Time, long before the Time of Ice, the Masters fought a war with Them, great chitinous beasts that stalked the world and rended and killed. She knows that the Masters set fierce, doglike Aux like her to watch over their great sleep and to keep Them off their Lawn. She knows that the stories are not just lessons in the ways of war. Them were real. But in the frozen ruins of Berlin, Them have not been seen for many years. Now the Aux fight among themselves and say all that was just stories. They scorn Evelyn and mock her warnings. But the ice is melting, and the whistling calls of Them can be heard in the tunnels of the U-Bahn once more....

Goodreads review by Yzabel on August 13, 2014

(I got an ARC through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.) My review comes a little late, I should've read this novel in June or July, and posted back then. Ah, well...

Part of a larger universe but still easy enough to figure out what's happening. I loved the patois and the pa......more

Goodreads review by John on June 02, 2020

This is a spin-off from the "Kingdom" story in 2000AD (a weekly anthology comic in the UK). Some of the other stories in that comic (e.g. "Judge Dredd") have been around for donkey's years, and I haven't read the whole backlog, which sometimes means that I'm missing context for newer stories (prose......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on June 22, 2017

Having some free time, I decided to pick up a Dan Abnett book I hadn't read from the library. I had never read any of the "Kingdom" stories from 2000 AD (the same comic outlet that brought us Judge Dredd), but I trust Abnett's ability. For some background, the first Abnett book I read was "Traitor G......more

Goodreads review by Neil on August 29, 2017

This one didn't work for me. It's comic book origins didn't translate to the written word, losing a lot of the impact of the artwork. Dialogue, suited to speech bubbles in surrounding imagery struggled inside quotation marks and the surrounding narrative. An interesting world but not a book to grab......more
