Hereticus by Dan Abnett
4.0
1. Backcloth For A Crown Additional
One of Eisenhorn's old friends has died and he has been called to solve the murder. A short but effective story showing how Chaos can hide in the most mundane of things.
2. Hereticus
The final book of the Eisenhorn trilogy, Hereticus closes the inquisitor's story. Starting a few years after the end of the previous book, Eisenhorn is thrown directly in a fight for his life. This remains a theme throughout the book until the very end.
Eisenhorn slowly becomes more and more radical and willing to use any means in order to defeat his enemies. This naturally starts to create tensions within his team and will have dire consequences until the end.
Concerning the end it once again feels rushed. The book builds and builds and then abruptly ends. There isn't much of an epilogue or anything to provide closure. A few paragraphs regarding various characters and that's that. Even these aren't that many since Dan Abnett does his best to kill off as many people as possible.
In the end it's a fitting end for a very good trilogy. It's dark and grim and bittersweet but very entertaining.
