2003’s classic Black Library novel Daemon World, by Ben Counter, is something of an iconic 40k novel despite being about as un-40k as you can imagine…but in a good way. On the titular daemon planet Torvendis, deep within the Maelstrom, Lady Charybdia rules in the name of Slaanesh, her great city built upon deep-running strata of battle and death. When the mountain tribes begin to stir, and Word Bearers arrive hunting one of their own, the balance of power on Torvendis begins to change.
It’s hard to see this being commissioned these days, but it’s valuable to have as a vivid depiction of one particular (if unusual) corner of the 40k universe.

A good, and rather violent, Warhammer 40K novel.
The Word Bearer Chaos Space Marines are on the hunt for one of their own who has gone rogue.
On the planet Torvendis, the barbarian tribes find common cause against the ruler, who has been sacrificing them to her god.
As the followers of different gods clash, who will end up in control?
Good action, with a few twists in it to keep you guessing.
