Most 40K nuts kinda rag on this book. Personally? I think it’s in my top five reads of the series so far. Something very charming and adorably goofy about McNeill’s prose and plot structure. I’m a sucker for classic Sci-fi and this felt very close to some of those silly classics.

This is a great story that tell of a great betrayal. Yet that pivitol moment is lackluster. I had hoped for more and though I feel as if the final part of the book was better than that which came before the impact was lost because of the miss.

Excellent. A bit of a cheese factory, but if you like sci fi and especially if you like 40k, this and Horus Rising are very much worth the read.
Characters are decent, plot is intriguing, action is excellent. As a 40k fan, I know exactly what the outcome of this whole story is, but it remains gripping all the same. Can't wait for the next books in the series.
