Excellent. Another amazing Abnett 40k novel. He is the orignal 40k master. He even tutored Aaron Dempsky-Bowden as he was starting, so that is one reason he is so excellent as well today I believe. Dan, on top of being an AMAZING author, is an awesome guy, who helped me with a term paper I wrote on him about 5 years ago in highschool. :D This was one of the excellent books in the series. It ranks as following on my personal list of the best of the Heresy so far. A Thousand Sons Fulgrim The First Heretic ---->Legion<---- Know No Fear The first 3 in the series Mechanicum (I actually really enjoyed it, but I didnt enjoy it much the first time I read it, came back to it a year or two later and reread it and liked it much better. Not sure why.)

AVERAGE. Not the best, but good; I was looking for more action from the Space Marines, it had more human heroes, than I expected.

Ghost Recon meets 30k. I don’t need to say anymore, do yourself a favor and read this.

A poor instalment to a great series.. First off, I am a fan of Dan Abnett. I like his books. I enjoy them. But this was a poor instalment to the Horus Heresy series. It's problem is simple, it doesn't fit the tone of the series. You have the Alpha legion. Astartes, genetically engineered to be the finest warriors in the galaxy. Dwarfing normal humans and installing a mixture of awe and fear. That is a common theme in the series. Ships crew, remembrancers and soldiers alike all cowed by the sheer majesty of the Astartes. In this one however, you have men talk back to; and even argue with them. Including the Primarch of the Alpha Legion. Primarchs are previously described as being more than human. Even veteran captains of their Legions are struck in awe by them. Oft unable to form coherent sentences as they are struck with awe. But in this book (spoiler alert) you have a normal man openly arguing with a Primarch and even threatening him! Just does not fit. Not only that, but the author in his attempt to set the human regiments apart and make them special; has only succeeded in annoyance and confusion. Instead of simple to understand captains and sergeants. You have Hetmans and Bashaws and Uxors. None of which make any sense to me after the book. A bit of 'dumming down' would have been nice here so I didn't have to constantly rack my brains. In the 41st Millenium, the Imperial Cult is the religion of the Imperium. Phrases like "Emperor protect" are commonplace. In the 31st Millenium however, the Emperor is spreading his Imperial Truth, that there are no Gods. So phrases like "Emperor protect" are entirely out of place. So are the prayers constantly offered by the Imperials of the book. It's these glaring problems that ruined this book for me.

A good read!. I really enjoyed this HH novel - it's the first one I've read in the series that tells the story from an entirely human viewpoint, keeping the Astartes at a distance. The protagonists are easier to relate to, but their colourful traits and weaknesses have the side effect of making the Alpha Legion appear like giant cardboard cutouts in contrast. What's more, the Space Marines came across as rather ridiculous in the contrived way that the eight-foot tall giants in massive power armour can sneak about undetected... Not to mention out-stealth the Lucifer Blacks! Still, it's a good read and I recommend it. I particularly liked John Grammaticus' character (who for some reason I pictured George Clooney in the role!), who for an 'immortal' came across to me as the most human of all.

Brilliant. Another great story from Dan abbnet. A must ready for 40k fans

An absolutely stellar novel. Dan Abnett really hit it out of the park with this one. It's clear he did his research on covert operations, subterfuge, guerrilla warfare and so on before writing this book. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, thinking you've worked out what's going on behind the scenes before being blindsided yet again by another shocking revelation. 5/5, would recommend even to people unfamiliar with WH40k
