About the book

The forces of Chaos are moving against the Imperium once more, and only YOU can stop them! The first in a new series of Warhammer 40,000 adventure game books, Hive of the Dead casts you in the role of an Imperial Guardsman, fighting for survival upon the plague-ridden world of Subiaco Diablo at the beginning of the Thirteenth Black Crusade. Face all the horrors of Abaddon’s legions, including Death Guard Chaos Space Marines, the walking dead, and foul warp-spawned daemons. Will you make the ultimate sacrifice for the good of mankind, or will your name be forgotten with the rest?

Promising indeed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sjur


The concept is exiting and new (for me at least) and just one of these things i hoped would be released one day. I will definitely buy this one when other books are released.

Brilliant

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dan


Have beenwaiting for one of these for ages. Could be a little longer and less hard! (though it does get you perfectly into the role of an average guardsman against the universe) but absolutely amazing, great fun. Can someone tell me how to use the medipack that you get? I found one but never got told how/when to use it?

Brilliant & immersive: classic game books glorious return

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mark


last week I was thinking about early 90's when I discovered RPG's and great "adventure games" like Joe Dever's Highway Warrior or Lone Wolf Series. Then started to wonder: why the heck GW or BL never released such great books in Warhammer Universe? Next day found The Hive and here it is finally! Ordered, recieved, started to play. Its amazing and very immersive. Definitely worth every penny. I just hope that "gaming books" series won't end on this one (did not found anything in coming soon section) I will buy every one book from this series.

Hive of the Dead

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phil


It is really fun and very entertaining. Reminds me of the choose your own adventure books when I was younger only more in depth and more fun. Using a D6 to play while reading the battles is ingenious. Very easy to learn but hard to master.
