Death or Glory

I'm currently reading 'Death or Glory', a pulp SF novel set in the world of Warhammer 40 000. Sandy Mitchell's 'Ciaphias Cain' is a cowardly commissar who goes through adventures unwillingly and these novels are in the same vein as the funny Flashman novels. A Ciaphias Cain novel is simply pure delight.

Cool cover on the book. Reminds me of Frank Frazetta or Boris Valleo. Ever wonder how these people keep fighting without tripping over all of the bodies they are standing on?

And how they don't ever reload as they mow down ranks and ranks of enemies? Heheheh.
