Broken Honour (Empire Army Series) Book

I picked up this book mainly because I like the Warhammer Fantasy genre and it takes place in Hochland. Read enough of the Warhammer Fantasy and the setting itself becomes a character in its own way. The story, as usual, times are desperate for the empire particularly the province of Hochland. Again as usual the forests are crawling with Beastmen. Unusual in this case is the Beastmen have been using tactics to drive the armies of Hochland to the breaking point. Mercenary Captain Eriksson comes to Hochland to capitalize on this desperate situation. Buying the freedom of prisoners, Eriksson forms a mercenary band of; thieves, cutthroats, murderers, rapers, and all around ne'er do wells. Eriksson must lead his band into one bloody battle after another fighting a foe that is warped my the forces of chaos itself. Robert Earl wrote a good book, but to be honest the ending was a little weak and predictable. It seemed abrupt like it was cut short, that is what kept it from a 5 star review. Hopefully it is the first of a series I look to more of Captain Eriksson and The Gentlemen's Free Company of Hergig.
