The omnibus itself is good quality. The font looks darker and easier to read than other BL omnibuses I have, which is nice. I didn't find the thickness of the book itself to be a problem, surprisingly. I preferred the old cover art, though.

In terms of the content, I thought Honour Guard was mediocre. The ending was a bit too 'deus ex machina' for my tastes.

The Guns of Tanith was fantastic, but I found it a bit hard to follow the different squads throughout the story. The map was definitely helpful in picturing what was going on.

Straight Silver is my second favorite Gaunt's Ghosts novel so far, after Necropolis. WW1-style trench warfare in the 41st millennium... I really loved this one just based on the setting alone.

Sabbat Martyr is considered to be one of the best novels in the series, but to me it felt like an inferior version of Necropolis. Also had a bit too much fantasy / magic / warpcraft for my tastes, but still a great read.

I've ordered all 4 Gaunt Ghosts books and I'll have a second go-around as soon as I finish a few other reads. Dan Abnett writes the best war scenes. Just so you know Amazon and their packing have gone way down and as the photo shows someone just tossed the books on a box. While Rightstuf may be more I'll be ordering Manga from their site and books from Abe Books.

Wow. Great books. Sad, tragic, and excellent twists for some of them. Some of my favorite 40k I've ever read are in this omnibus!

Not just a book on the horrors of war, but a book of life and death.....relationships, commitment, loyalty and so much more.

Great Omnibus

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2010

Following in the footsteps of the previous two collections, The Lost is a wonderful collection of four novels: Traitor General, His Last Command, The Armour of Contempt, and Only in Death. Each story connects with the next in the series, but they all finish strong and there are few mysteries or cliffhangers. The end of Only in Death sets up a nice situation for the twelfth novel, Blood Pact, and I can't wait to read that next (or perhaps get the last omnibus, The Victory, whenever it comes out). The plot is solid, writing is superb, and the characters are in-depth. While you don't have to read the previous two omnibuses, it'd be better if you did. Just to get a feel for the Tanith First and its members, especially characters that are important in the first two collections but only make a brief appearance in The Lost. Overall, an excellent display of storytelling by Black Library's finest, Mr. Abnett.

I was happy to see these books collected together as an omnibus

I was happy to see these books collected together as an omnibus, finally, so I ordered as soon as I saw it. I read the books contained in this omnibus when they were originally published, so I'll assume that they haven't been changed since then. As with the other Gaunt's Ghosts omnibuses, I can't complain. They're good novels. Dan Abnett continues to do a good job with the series. Highly recommended, with the caveat that you read the previous books first to fully appreciate the narrative.

I love reading about Gaunt’s adventures. The action is so intense and visceral, I cannot put it down once I’ve started reading. Well done!

Dan Abnett is one of the best black library authors around. Being the third omnibus in the series it's story still holds up. Some favorites characters are lost and some old side characters are fleshed out, but not in a clumsy way. Well worth the read in my humble opinion.

IT'S THE BOMBDIGGITY

WHAT CAN I SAY ALL OF THE GAUNT'S GHOSTS NOVELS ARE QUITE GOOD, BUT THIS LOST STORY ARCH IS MY FAVORITE SO FAR. THE ACTION IS GREAT THE STORY LINE HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE BETTER. THE NEW CHARACTERS THAT ARE INTRODUCED ARE INTERESTING. MY HOPE IS THAT DAN ABNETT KEEPS THIS SERIES GOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IN FACT I LIKE IT SO MUCH I WOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY MORTIFIED IF WHEN MR. ABNETT TIRES OF GAUNT AND HIS GHOSTS HE ALLOWS ANOTHER AUTHOUR TO TRY THEIR HAND WITH THEM. IT MAY BE A BIG RISK TO SOME BUT I THINK IT IS A RISK WORTH TAKING TO KEEP THE GHOSTS ALIVE. THATS IT, GREAT READ PICK IT UP.
