An average Sci-fi book, from the early black library.

While I still gave this one a 4 because it's Necromunda, it is probably the weakest of the series. It did have an interesting concept/formula, but it was poorly executed with a rather predictable plot. What I did like is how it examined one house and despite it's protestations that it was a holy group (Cawdor) it really was just a bunch of thugs collecting protection money and sinning just as much as the rest of us. It had echos of Easern Promises, which is odd as that movie came out after this book was published. Lastly, this book proves that GW has no idea what a Hive looks like as it gives yet another very different description. I did like how the Ash Wastes seemed to be seeping into the hive (and I don't care if the author thought that they were actually wholly inside the hive, I'm just going to assume that he didn't think that way and be happier for it.)
