Book number 7 for 2008 is Blood Bowl: Rumble in the Jungle by Matt Forbeck. Since I'm playing in a summer Blood Bowl league right now, this choice seemed particularly appropriate. Full of the usual mayhem, RitJ is about the Bad Bay Hackers, a team of lovable misfits who are a very talented group of athletes. When Dunk Hoffnung and his brother Dirk, the star thrower and blitzer for the Hackers, discover their sister is alive and part of a Blood Bowl team in Lustria, they pack their bags and head to the distant jungle coast to find her.
The only disappointment for me was a wish that Matt had dealt more with a race of humanoid lizards who serve the Slaan, and ancient race of creatures who fought against Chaos in the time before time. We do get a little taste, but it wasn't quite enough for me. Still, this fourth volume in the series of Blood Bowl novels is a fun summer read, perfect to inspire my Wood Elf team to score more touchdowns in the second half of the season.
