Sons of Corax by George Mann.
The next book for review is the short anthology of books involving the Raven Guard, authored by George Mann. The short stories contained include the forces of the plague god Nurgle and their attacks upon the Sargassion Reach. Some of the books include the Raven Guard strike teams working in conjunction with the Brazen Minotaur's chapter, a chapter whose way of war is vastly different compared to the Raven Guard. Blending with the shadows and becoming the darkness that haunts the mutant, heretic, or xenos, corrupting the imperial worlds is the way of the Raven Guard, whereas the Brazen Minotaur's smash through any barrier, no matter what they happen to be. There are 7 short stories included
The books included are -
- Prey
- Helion Rain
- With Baited Breath
- Old Scars
- Labyrinth of Souls
- the Unkindness of Ravens
- by Artifice, Alone
If you're looking for a quick read to pass the time, then you will enjoy this. Captain Koryn of the Raven Guard is an easy character to like; the operations he leads against the Nurgle followers show his skills and experience. The descriptions of combat are entertaining, and everything flows quickly, so you aren't left with any gaps of filler. Overall, it does a good job of showcasing exactly what the Raven Guard can do, even when they're outnumbered. any fans of the Raven Guard will enjoy this and would be a good way of seeing what the small strike squads can do.
