It may seem very unfamiliar, uncomfortable even, to a reader with a grounding in current 40K only, but that's all the more reason to read it. Space Marine I still have fond memories of after all these years.Porkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604351052444947490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-2279150213462462732011-06-27T08:33:22.160+01:002011-06-27T08:33:22.160+01:00I'll second the recommendation for the Inquisi...I'll second the recommendation for the Inquisition War. It's 40K with sex and Squats and conspiracy theories and unreliable narrators and literary allusions and things that actually make for a good book rather than a glorified battle report with some adolescent posturing stapled to either side of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-48243575766461433912011-06-27T08:12:02.101+01:002011-06-27T08:12:02.101+01:00holy damn. just read the shit out of this. the las...holy damn. just read the shit out of this. the last scene is incredible.Jalilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008466928158279396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-79660336497583088672011-06-27T06:43:08.582+01:002011-06-27T06:43:08.582+01:00As sad as it is, there is a lot of books that will...As sad as it is, there is a lot of books that will no longer see the light of day in 'today's' games-Workshop world from both 40K and fantasy. <br /><br />I remember reading Eye of Terror, and it was that book that made me fall in love with Eldar Wraithguard. Then I found out the ghost warriors on the tabletop act nothing like the book version.KelarionPrimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765883630811518478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-52891149375661392522011-06-26T16:47:44.406+01:002011-06-26T16:47:44.406+01:00Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely c...Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely check them out if it's as good as this was.Warflakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466746323641160628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024699607294401869.post-30346822842802484182011-06-26T16:40:58.171+01:002011-06-26T16:40:58.171+01:00One of the first GW-related books I ever read, and...One of the first GW-related books I ever read, and still one of my favorites. <br /><br />A few bits of the background don't sit well, but these can be ignored considering it's so well damn written and the story so engrossing. <br /><br />If you enjoyed the book, I recommend reading the Inquisition War trilogy. If you get to the 3rd of these, you'll recognise one of the characters from the above book :)Pacifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474407197167592680noreply@blogger.com
