The End Times are coming. With the hordes of Chaos marshalling in the north, Emperor Karl Franz leads his armies in defence of his realm. But when the worst happens and the Emperor is lost, it falls to Reiksmarshal Kurt Helborg to return to Altdorf, capital of the Empire, and prepare to meet the forces of the Ruinous Powers in a final battle for that ancient city. As plague spreads and the defences weaken, all seems lost, until help arrives from a most unexpected source... if Helborg can bring himself to accept it. The second book in the End Times series is one no Warhammer fan can afford to miss. The Fall of Altdorf depicts the final siege of the greatest city in the Old World and is absolutely packed with notable heroes and infamous villains, from the Glottkin lords of Nurgle to the Emperor Karl Franz himself.
