When I started reading this I was waiting for the Dark Angels to show up right from the start. They are one of the very few SM chapters I truly dislike, all hail the Blood Angels, with the Grey Knight being the other SM special Chapter I don’t like. So here I was reading a book starring both of them... Yeah I didn’t hold out much hope for it. Yet here I am liking it. But not because of the two SM chapters but in spite of them, it was the Catachan jungle fighters that made this book well worth reading.
I have to tip my hat to CZ Dunn, he kept the space marines big and tough while keeping them mortal.
Having a lot of special well known characters in the book was overdone and to me limited the scope of what can be done. It was still good.
I do recommend the book as it’s a good example of how to use special (and overpowered) characters properly.
