More space catholic murder nonsense from the 40k brand. This time around the pacing is a little off (the titular flight doesn't occur until a smidge past the halfway point), but it's nonetheless an entertaining deep dive into that tabletop game's singularly impressive, detailed lore.

I keep thinking 'this is the last book I'll read in my 40k jag' but then the next one grabs me and, well, what's a bloke to do?
