Good read and start to the series. Excellent writing of war, combat, politics and the human condition.

The story reveals itself in a way that keeps pace and interest.

I thought this was an entertaining read, although some say it lacked serious plot and character development. I still enjoyed it.

Not ground breaking by any means but a fun sci fi listen. Good intro book into the 40k universe. Made even better by the person narrating the audiobook.
