Book 1 in the Bequin Sage. In the city of Queen Mab, nothing is quite as it seems. Pariah, spy, and Inquisitorial agent, Alizebeth Bequin is all of these things and yet none of them. An enigma, even to herself, she is caught between Inquisitors Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor, former allies now enemies who are playing a shadow game against a mysterious and deadly foe. Coveted by the Archenemy, pursued by the Inquisition, Bequin becomes embroiled in a dark plot of which she knows not her role or purpose. Helped by a disparate group of allies, she must unravel the secrets of her life and past if she is to survive a coming battle in which the line between friends and foes is fatally blurred.… (altro)

Annett is a class apart from the rest of the BL. ( )

I just finished rereading Dan Abnett's Pariah in preparation for starting on the sequel, Penitent.

What a great book. After rereading it seven years later, I have to say it was every bit as good as I remember. If I could give it six stars, I would.

And now, it's on to Penitent! ( )

This is one of my favourite Warhammer novels, a novel so good that I have recommended it to non-fans. High praise indeed. Great premise, superb delivery, full of action, drama, and grotesqueries. Recommended. ( )

Pariah! For those who waited years for the final 'trilogy of trilogies,' closure is upon us!

Pariah had me hooked from the very beginning, as Bequin is back from her coma (Or is she?) and is embroiled in a complex plot with many a twist and turn. I constantly asked myeslef "The hell is going on here?" and powered through the novel in two days. Of course, I had even more unanswered questions by the end and will have to wait god knows how long for the next book and hope for "Penitent."

I'll call out one part of the book that was written exceptionally well and was downright terrifying, the dolls! I won't say any more, but the good Mr. Abnett should consider branching into the horror genre with that quality of work.

My only criticism is that Bequin isn't much of a character in this book. She's the MacGuffin that's shoved from plot point to plot point and never takes hold of her own destiny or controls the story. She's constantly put in peril, then rescued by yet another faction, then lost to another faction, then imperiled, repeat, etc.

Still, this book is a must read for all fans of Inquisitors Eisenhorn (he's back!) and Ravenor (also back!). A fine opener to the final trilogy.


Oh...I am Alpharius. I should add. ( )
