I didn't think I was going to like this. A few pages in and, lacking the zeal and majesty often accompanying main characters in other 40k fiction, the narrator was coming across as little more than an condescending, albeit capable, git. Thankfully things progress quickly and we get to see more of the character and the rather nightmarish world he inhabits.
There are definitely some oddities though; the main character's habit of having things serendipitously fall on foes gets a little distracting. As do his occasional references to events centuries in the future, which rather removes a lot of dramatic tension (though admittedly, given his tendency to be shot and/or lose body parts, he may be narrating as little more than a brain in a jar).

A nice and easy read that you'll probably enjoy if you like the WH40k universe and probably hate if you don't.
