Kal Jerico: Blood Royal (Necromunda)

I read this little piece of pulp SF about a bounty hunter and his sidekicks who prowl the underworld of Necromunda last week. It's great fun.

This novel, by Gordon Rennie and Will McDermott, is quite similar in spirit to the related graphic novel about Kal Jerico.

Kal Jerico is hilarious. He is dependent on his 'Plan W' which stands for 'Plan Wing it'! And he is very vain, and often, in the midst of combat, he would be concerned with his looks. He would often strike a pose, with his great coat and coat tails flapping in the airflow generated by the ventilation shafts! And his allies would berate him.

Hahahah. It's simply great fun.
