The Infinite and the Divine
by Robert Rath
Fun, 21st-century pulp fiction. Nothing much of substance other than an advertisement to buy and paint plastic toys-in this case, robot skeletons-now that you know they have backstory as well as exciting battles you can recreate. But functionally harmless, amusing, and readable, which is more than I can say for the unironic Starship Troopers fanfiction most other books in this franchise are. To think the robots are more human than the actual humans in Warhammer…
That being said, it’s that lack of something deeper that, while fun, made this a slog to read. Endless battle reports and descriptions of chitin and gnashing and necrodermis and metal bogged down the more fun narrative of two intellectual rivals constantly bickering and manipulating each other. Things get better by the last third where the fighting has more of a purpose. But all this is still not to mention the fact you need to have an in-depth knowledge of 40K to get anywhere with this book.
