Summary

The Biggest， Baddest Ork is BACK！

Of the billions of greenskins who swarm the galaxy， only the name of one strikes fear into the hearts of human and xenos alike: Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka。
The Warlord of Warlords。
The Beast of Armageddon。
The Prophet of the Waaagh！
With his tusks， fists， and power claw， he does the holy work of Gork and Mork – and soon all worlds will burn in his bootprints。

Mystery shrouds how such a beast came to exist， and rumours abound that the mighty warlord was once just like any other ork。 But if that is the case， how did his ascendance come to be？ Many have lost their minds trying to unravel the mystery。 Lord Inquisitor Tytonida Falx has headed into the murky depths of heresy to find the answer， only this time， something is different。 She possesses something the others did not。 Custody of the one creature in the universe who claims to know the truth of it all。 Ghazghkull’s banner bearer: Makari the Grot。

Muy buena forma de conocer más a fondo a los orkos y más especialmente a Ghazghkull。 Pero al ser la primera novela con orkos que leía… el lenguaje me costó una bola y parte de la otra。

Prophet of the WAAAGH！ is a fun book to read， and great to hold， and I mean physically。 I bought the hardcover green version with Ghazghkull's face on it， and it's such a great illustration to look at every time I pick it up。The story involves an Inquisitor， a Space Wolf marine， and an Ogryn interrogating an Ork gretchin with the help of an Ork translator。 Strange scenario， but completely allows the comparing and contrasting of Ork culture and lifestyle through the telling of the gretchin's life Prophet of the WAAAGH！ is a fun book to read， and great to hold， and I mean physically。 I bought the hardcover green version with Ghazghkull's face on it， and it's such a great illustration to look at every time I pick it up。The story involves an Inquisitor， a Space Wolf marine， and an Ogryn interrogating an Ork gretchin with the help of an Ork translator。 Strange scenario， but completely allows the comparing and contrasting of Ork culture and lifestyle through the telling of the gretchin's life with the legendary Warboss。What I didn't like at some points were vague descriptions and verbs that didn't explain the scene well， and some of these were pivotal to moving the story along。 For example， I couldn't understand how the main human group suddenly believed the gretchin's tale just because a piece of its skin caused fungus to erupt。 I had to reread it several times thinking I missed an important line but I don't think I did。Aside from that， this book was a great read。 I couldn't put it down， and kept wanting to hear more of the gretchin's tale of Ghazghkull Thraka。 I only wish there was more to the tale。 。。。more

Prepare to read one of the most amusing and downright entertaining recent additions to the Warhammer 40，000 canon with the hilarious and brilliant Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh！ by outstanding author Nate Crowley。Orks are the most notorious and dangerous creatures that roam the galaxy of the 41st century。 Billions upon billions of the powerful， war-loving creatures can be found throughout every sector of space， fighting anyone and anything they can find， especially each other。 However Prepare to read one of the most amusing and downright entertaining recent additions to the Warhammer 40，000 canon with the hilarious and brilliant Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh！ by outstanding author Nate Crowley。Orks are the most notorious and dangerous creatures that roam the galaxy of the 41st century。 Billions upon billions of the powerful， war-loving creatures can be found throughout every sector of space， fighting anyone and anything they can find， especially each other。 However， out of all these monsters， none are more feared， respected or hated than the warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka， chosen of the ork gods Gork and Mork and proclaimed prophet of the Waaagh！Throughout his legendary life， Ghazghkull has done what no other ork has been able to achieve。 Bringing together innumerable warbands into one massive horde of green， Ghazghkull has warred with every faction in the cosmos， while his infamous invasions of the Imperial planet of Armageddon are the stuff of bloody legend。 Everyone knows of his epic and rivalry with his indomitable foe， Commissar Yarrick， which turned Armageddon into a perpetual warzone， but does anyone know the true story of Ghazghkull and the events that made him？Rogue Lord Inquisitor Tytonida Falx has long attempted to discover what lurks in the minds of the xenos her order faces。 When an opportunity to find out more about Ghazghkull presents itself， she eagerly jumps at the opportunity， bringing a unique prisoner aboard her heretical ship， Ghazghkull’s banner bearer， the grot Makari。 Interrogating him， Inquisitor Falx and her team soon discover that Makari might just be the only being in the universe who knows the full truth about who， or what， Ghazghkull is， and what he plans to do next。 But， as she listens to Makari’s tale， the Inquisitor soon discovers that the shadow of Ghazghkull’s rage and desire for violence far eclipses anything that the Imperium has ever believed。Wow， now that was a really fun and captivating read。 I knew going into Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh！ that I was going to have a great time， especially after enjoying author Nate Crowley’s The Twice-Dead King novels， Ruin and Reign， but I was blown away by how awesome Ghazghkull Thraka was。 Featuring a clever and wildly entertaining story， perfectly told through various unique eyes， as well as some deeply enjoyable characters， I quickly became absorbed in the impressive story and powered through it in a couple of days。 Not only was this my favourite book from Crowley but it also probably overtakes Kal Jerico: Sinner’s Bounty as the most amusing Warhammer novel I have ever read。 To see the full review， click on the link below:https://unseenlibrary。com/2022/05/20/。。。For other exciting reviews and content， check out my blog at:https://unseenlibrary。com/ 。。。more

A very odd way to present the story of ghazghkull thraka， but none the less amazing。 good story with some humour。 A very interesting read。

Great fun story that any Ork fan should read

Black Library readers are becoming spoiled for choice when it comes to Ork fiction。First we have Mike Brooks' excellent Ufthak Blackhawk series （Brutal Kunnin'， Where Dere's da Warp Dere's a Way）， and now Nate Crowley， with his The Enemy of My Enemy short， and now this novel。This is a masterful look at Ork psychology in Warhammer 40k， going deeper than I thought possible for orks。 It is humorous and entertaining， and cleverly subverts human and ork interactions。A real gem。 Black Library readers are becoming spoiled for choice when it comes to Ork fiction。First we have Mike Brooks' excellent Ufthak Blackhawk series （Brutal Kunnin'， Where Dere's da Warp Dere's a Way）， and now Nate Crowley， with his The Enemy of My Enemy short， and now this novel。This is a masterful look at Ork psychology in Warhammer 40k， going deeper than I thought possible for orks。 It is humorous and entertaining， and cleverly subverts human and ork interactions。A real gem。 。。。more

This is easily the greatest Warhammer novel I’ve read。 Everything about it is great。 If you like Orks you’ve already read it， but even if you simply like anything remotely Warhammer， or even close to Warhammer， you will probably enjoy this book。It’s well written， well paced， sees nice character development for its very interesting range of characters and it’s outright hilarious all the way through。

Dan ，

Fun and Orky。 Lots of headbutting。 Some of the non ork bits are a bit arbitrary， but overall it's a fun read and not prosaic。 Fun and Orky。 Lots of headbutting。 Some of the non ork bits are a bit arbitrary， but overall it's a fun read and not prosaic。 。。。more

One of the best 40k books I have read。

Great， read a real page turner which i read in one sitting。 One minor gripe is the labelling of ragnar blackmane as chapter master in one passage。

I enjoyed this book a lot。 Not particularly fussed about xenos lore in 40K but this book made it enjoyable。 The structure keeps the pace going， the plot dynamics worked a treat and there are some genuinely funny moments！

Dustyn Mathews ，

“There’s no such thing as a grot Psyker。” Said the Ogryn Psyker。 （Best line in the book） Also the addition of Colonel Taktikus was a good nod to old work。 My daughter and I can’t wait to see what happens next （I play Orks and She plays Space Wolves）

Nate Crowley puts his wild imagination to darkly hilarious use with the fantastic Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh！， effortlessly elevating Warhammer 40，000 orks into compelling， thought-provoking characters。 Relatively short but wide-ranging， it’s structured around the central conceit of a radical Ordo Xenos inquisitor interrogating a captured grot claiming to be Makari， the banner bearer of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka。 As Inquisitor Falx and her unusual retinue question Makari – via a s Nate Crowley puts his wild imagination to darkly hilarious use with the fantastic Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh！， effortlessly elevating Warhammer 40，000 orks into compelling， thought-provoking characters。 Relatively short but wide-ranging， it’s structured around the central conceit of a radical Ordo Xenos inquisitor interrogating a captured grot claiming to be Makari， the banner bearer of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka。 As Inquisitor Falx and her unusual retinue question Makari – via a somewhat suspicious interpreter – they’re gradually presented with both an origin story for Ghazghkull and a jaw-dropping exploration of greenskin culture and the orkish mindset。 Orks not being known for their trustworthiness though， the Imperials have to wonder how much they can trust and what the implications might be if Makari’s story is actually true。This is a short but perfectly formed novel， and while the interrogation idea has been done before it’s perfectly suited to this story。 Falx and her retinue make for an entertaining cast， and likewise Biter the interpreter （no spoilers but…he’s great）， while Makari is every bit the vicious， slippery little monster， but at the same time strangely sympathetic。 Of course， looming over everything is the menacing shadow of Ghazghkull himself， who’s utterly terrifying from an Imperial perspective， but depicted as such an interesting character that as a reader it’s hard not to root for him in the end！ Crowley has delivered a phenomenal character study here， but with his unique style and sense of imagination he’s also brought 40k orks to life with a depth of culture that we as readers have never seen before， and of which the orks themselves are probably happily unaware。 Quite simply， this is probably the most fun you can have while reading a Black Library novel。It's a real shame that it's only been released as a limited edition hardback so far， but when it finally gets a general release this is one BL book that should be at the top of the list for any 40k fan！Read the full review at https://www。trackofwords。com/2021/07/。。。 。。。more

Ghazghkull Thraka is one of the most enduring and iconic characters in the 40k universe， having made many appearances as an antagonist across Black Library fiction but he’s had to wait until he was pushing 30 to be the focus of a novel。 Thankfully， Nate Crowley’s first BL novel is wholly worthy of such a storied character。 Stylistically it owes a debt to Guy Hayley’s Warhammer novel， Skarsnik， sharing a broad narrative device but while there are some similarities between the greenskins of the Wo Ghazghkull Thraka is one of the most enduring and iconic characters in the 40k universe， having made many appearances as an antagonist across Black Library fiction but he’s had to wait until he was pushing 30 to be the focus of a novel。 Thankfully， Nate Crowley’s first BL novel is wholly worthy of such a storied character。 Stylistically it owes a debt to Guy Hayley’s Warhammer novel， Skarsnik， sharing a broad narrative device but while there are some similarities between the greenskins of the World-That-Was and the Grim Darkness of the Far Future™， it is a distinct and original piece。 It is absolutely a labour of love; Crowley absolutely *gets* the ork （and grot！） mindset， and viewing the Imperium of Man through that prism is really telling; at one point the mindset of devout servants of the Throne is shown to be especially orkish。 Nate’s other writing is always shot through with a vein of grim humour and this suits a book about Orks perfectly; it’s funny， incredibly in places， but there is always a reminder of the horrific， bestial and fundamentally alien nature of the greenskins looming behind every joke。 As well as Ghazghkull and Makari， this book introduces us to a cynical， disillusioned and radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor and her retinue- principally a Deathwatch Wolf Priest and （the only known？） Ogryn Psyker。 Each of these characters is an awful lot of fun to read and would perhaps be deserving of more focus， but it’s the Orks who are deservedly and undoubtedly stars of the show。 Via a Blood Axe interpreter we hear Makari’s account of Ghazghkull’s origins， apotheosis and various attacks on Armageddon。 We get fascinating looks at Orkish Kultur， language， philosophy， language and theology as well as how the greenskin subspecies interact and in a beautifully meta touch， we see how Ghazghkull’s tabletop representation has changed over time as well as explaining Makari’s periodic absences from his side。 Obviously there is self-aggrandisement in the story， but it is clear why Orks have been such a persistent and troublesome foe for the Imperium， who ， by persistently underestimating them make matters worse for themselves。The book is short enough that it’s in no danger of outstaying it’s welcome， but long enough that it manages to cram in all of the above and more。 It’s fantastic， and， to my mind， a perfect introductory text to 40k as well as a must-read for all existing fans of the universe。 。。。more
