Blood Pact by Dan Abnett
(Black Library, 2011, PB, £7.99)
This fine book is the thirteenth book in the Gaunt’s Ghosts series, and it’s a reflection of Dan Abnett’s great talent that he’s managed to keep this one as exciting and enjoyable as the very first. The basic plot follows Gaunt as he’s chased round the city of Balhaut, trying to protect a former Chaos officer who could hold the key to finally winning the Sabbat Worlds campaign. The tone of Blood Pact differs from the previous books in the series, being more a thriller than military SF, though this doesn’t stop the book being any less of an absolute joy to read than the first twelve novels.
