The ninth book in the Horus Heresy series continues in the same dreary vein as "Battle for the Abyss", with unbelievable characters, poor dialogue and stupid situations (and thats saying something, given this is the 40k universe we're talking about!). I didn't feel the remotest connection to any of the so called characters. In fact, to say they were like 2-D cutouts would be a compliment. Graham Mcneill usually excels at whatever he writes, but not this time. Sorry Graham, but this book was BORING!!!!!!! It was so boring I gave up around halfway and skipped to the end, and even found that implausible. Luckily, Graham has also written some amazing books, sic Ultramarines novels. Do yourself a favour, look up the wikipedia synopsis of this book and move onto the next in the series.

Whilst not an awful book Mechanicum is the first of this epic series (over fifty entries I believe) to feel like it's all set up for bigger and better things to come.
Absolutely brilliant read.
Dealing with a mix of small character driven stories and huge battles with massive war titans this tug of war between the forces of Mars was riveting from start to finish with intrigue and suspense.

Boy does this book take forever to become meaningful, and even then it still felt too long.

Good read, likable characters. (Possibly the first time I liked the normal humans in a story.)
Up to this point what I have read about adepts etc. Makes them all out as terrible not interesting characters. This showed their true colors :P
I'd recommend it to any heresy fan. The ending left me smacking my head, and added some interesting ideas for my fan fiction :D
