Why I Like It

Fell Cargo is an enjoyable short novella that you can read in a couple of hours, which for me is brilliant as it takes me twice as long to read as others due to my dyslexia. I must be honest and say I would always be biased in favour of this book as im a massive fan of pirates and zombies, and this book mashes both worlds together.

Dan Abnett is a very talented writer, and he keeps the story moving along at steady pace. He clearly knows a great deal about sailing vessels, and while he does throw in a good many nautical terms, he does so smoothly and without interrupting the flow of the story. 

The book is only 250 pages long so i dont want to spoil anything but i will give a few details on one of my favourite scenes. The crew discovers the ship of another notorious pirate Reyno Bloodlock, lying in a harbor seemingly deserted. A small party goes to investigate and discovers what’s left of Reyno’s crew. As the small band attempts to return to their ship they find themselves pursued and under attack from a horrific daemon. Only the intervention of Tende, a member of the crew familiar with the dark arts, has any chance of saving them……….. but you will have to read Fell Cargo to find out if he does.
