The second book written by Nathan Long about Gotrek and Felix. As the previous one I enjoy it and read it quite fast. Gotrek and Felix are back in Nulm but this time the fiends are not the Skav... Beastmen as the officials say. The Skaven don't exist. It was the Beastmen that attack the city. The power of denial is strong on that city.
Gotrek and Felix arrive to Nuln on their way to the north to fight Archaon. Fortunately they met Malakai Makaison that says that they can save a lot of time going on his airship that is due to leaving in a couple of days. Meantime things don't go as plan and it seems that someone doesn't want the airship and it's supplies to arrive there.
From there Gotrek and Felix try to find who are the culprits that have exploded the cannons, stolen gunpowder and destroyed half the lower part of the city.
This was an interesting reading because Ulrika is back and what a part she had on this tale. I start getting anxious to get my hands on the Ulrika Trilogy Nathan Long penned. The ending is quite good but the final battle isn't as good or difficult (even if the author says by via Felix that it is) as a Daemon or a Dragon or a full scale attack in Beastslayer.
The epilogue is quite good because we get to see what is happening to Thanquol. That epilogue links to CL Werner trilogy about the skaven grey seer.
Although not as funny or good as William King I think it was a good choice making Nathan Long the writer of the trademark of Warhammer Fantasy even I would vote for CL Werner.

Adding this on the 5th of April 2020:
I have no idea why this isn't in my "read books" I was just thinking about writing a fanfiction to complete the Gotrek and Felix series when I decided to check if any new books have cropped up. Turns out a new author did pick the series back up and finished it. That's when I noticed that two of the books that I've read were not accounted for, I'm thinking perhaps when I moved my shelf from Shelfari to here some of the books didn't register properly? Perhaps.
Anyway, I don't remember what this book was about being as I read it about 8 years ago, what I do know is this is one of my favorite "brain candy" type series.
I'm going to add it as "read" with this little note (on both of the books), if I choose to re-read the book I'll add a proper review underneath all this.
For now though, I'm glad the series got a proper ending, I will be re-reading the last book I read to jog my memory and then the final two books.
Chose a 3star rating as that's about my average rating for these books.
