3.0
*SPOILERS* This book is enjoyable for those who want to move away from the ‘Herohammer’ eulogisation of humanity. In contrast to other Guard novels, which often depict the protagonists as superhuman heroes (read Commissar Cain and Gaunt’s Ghosts), the stories comprising this text downplay the heroism of the guard. In fact, one of the protagonists is actively targeted by the Inquisition for their perceived threat to the Imperial Cult - a refreshing change from the hero worship within other IG novels.
The writing style is not necessarily as gripping as in other texts - especially in text 2 - but overall it’s a good read which makes a nice change from other Black Library writings.
