Ghostmaker by Dan Abnett
4.0
Book two of the Gaunt’s Ghosts series, Ghostmaker – not to be confused with the short story of the same name – this is essentially a series of short stories framed by a single loose narrative, rather than a full novel. In a lull between actions on the jungle world of Monthax, Colonel-Commissar Gaunt walks the line sharing a few words with his men, each conversation prompting a new story.
It’s arguably a bit strange, in hindsight, for the second book in the series to be a book of short stories, and also to include the first Gaunt’s Ghosts story both narratively and chronologically. That’s the nature of how the early series developed, however, and shouldn’t take away from the fact that these stories do a great job of expanding upon and developing the characters from First and Only.
