I loved this one. Guilliman’s struggles, and the struggles of those around him, are written with an attention to detail that defies the scale of the setting. A thrilling introduction to current WH40k story

An exceptional first step into the future of Games Workshop's far flung and grim future. Though it could be argued that the end comes a little quicker than one might desire, this fact serves to reinforce the bedrock of a quite excellent tale.
There's a miss or two here and there, as with all books. Certain characters yearn for just one more interaction as all who foster our intrigue might.
What Dark Imperium does is fling open the doors to a future of the IP which I for one cannot wait to see explored deeper.
Also, one scene in particular where an assload of rancid daemons show up is without a doubt one of the most joyous and disgusting things I've ever had the pleasure (or displeasure?) of reading.

Opening with Guilliman and Fulgrim’s fateful duel 10,000 years in the past, this focuses thereafter on the conclusion of Roboute Guilliman’s Indomitus Crusade, a little over 100 years after the events of the Gathering Storm.
This is a novel with multiple aims, but what it doesn’t do is try to answer every question about what’s changed in 40k. It doesn’t detail the immediate aftermath of Guilliman’s rebirth or explain what Cawl was doing all along…instead it offers occasional hints to a lot of those answers while focusing instead on exploring how Guilliman has changed since his ‘death’, and how the Imperium is reacting to his return and the changes forced upon the galaxy.
It represents a powerful introduction to the latest iteration of the 40k setting, and one that harks right back to the Heresy with a strange, but compelling, mixture of darkness and unexpected light.

It is a good action book with some philosophy about the nature of the Emperor. Since it is the first book in a trilogy, it sets up the scenario pretty well, bit you know there is more to come.
