The Ghosts of Barak-Minoz

Warhammer Age of Sigmar

By: Guy Haley

Narrated by: Andrew James Spooner, Richard Reed

A Drekki Flynt Audiobook

Drekki Flynt is in trouble…again.

Believed lost after falling into the deadly maelstrom known as the Eye of Testudinous, Evtorr, one of Flynt’s old crew, is found alive and well. Kind of. He’s raving mad, won't shut up about the fabled Dead Air, and worse, shadowy assassins from Ulgu seem dead set on making sure Evtorr doesn't rejoin his fellows aboard the Aelsling.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Drekki Flint's adventures continue as he embarks on a quest to find the legendary Barak-Minoz. Can he walk away with its riches or has the swashbuckler bitten off more than he can chew?

THE STORY

There is something in Evtorr’s ravings that piques Drekki’s interest and that he can't let go – the Dead Air is the last known location of the famed Barak-Minoz. If they can just get there… Well, Drekki Flynt can smell aether-gold a realm off, and surely Barak-Minoz is dripping with riches just ripe for the taking.

But there are forces at work that would stop Drekki from finding out what happened to Barak-Minoz. To even locate it, he must do what no captain has ever done before – navigate the Eye of Testudinous, and live to tell the tale!

Drekki Flynt Strikes Again!

Another Great Story for the KO! Loved the insight into the politics of the KO and how even the KO can have grudges against other KO.

This book was amazing.

I really really really loved this book. Drekki Flynt is a great character. As a KO fan. It really was great.

a great follow up

This was a fun book. It had character development, new characters, and world building within the Karadron Society. It made me want to see more and given what is teased at the end we may get more. Can't wait for the eventual follow-up to this.

Lovely Book

You'll enjoy it too. This book it's so easy to enjoy. Great story, awesome characters and good dynamics throughout the story. Lovely...

Great Adventure, Little Rough Around the Edges

SPOILERS FREE. Guy Haley continues to be a great writer for Age of Sigmar. This is a great adventure and follow-up to Arkanaut's Oath. The crew identities and familial feel are better written here. Lots of interesting physics and environmental problems, making it feel more realistic. Interesting enemy that broke some of the Warhammer norms.

However, I think there are some missed opportunities with this one. Certain characters are left sitting out too long, or intriguing issues are left unexplored. I think it needed a little more time with the editor.

SOME SPOILERS NOW ON FLAWS: Though she has some great scenes at the end, Kenna left sitting out most of the book and being the object of rescue later on feels a little sloppy. It's the damsel in distress cliche creating conflict for Bokko + Guy Haley seems to have wanted to have one less crew member to manage. Evtorr's madness causes interesting conflict, but despite being the impetus for the adventure, it doesn't feel like much interesting came of it. I was thinking they may see their wizard friend from the last book to help with it, but it doesn't even occur to the characters. Uzki as a scrappy doo type sidekick was just sort of whatever, but not too bad. They use warmth runes earlier in the adventure that never come up again even though the temperature remains a problem. Maybe they should have strapped them to their guns to fight the ice trolls and ghosts.

All in all, I think this one needed a little more time in the oven, but was a great adventure book to mow through anyways.
