filipmagnus 's review for:

The Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow
4.0

An entirely entertaining book picking up on one of the bigger unresolved threads from Galaxy in Flames while giving us a glimpse at a pre-heresy legion very different from that of the good ol' Lunar Wolves/ Sons of Horus. Garro is a likeable lead, and so are some of the new supporting characters. James Swallow's prose was also better than that of some of his colleagues, and I found myself enjoying it a good star more than Galaxy .

Oh, and the Rogal Dorn scene was pretty damn sweet! As was that 'post-credits' bit with the Sigilite. Looking forward to the next book...though I will be taking a short break to listen to a few classics.

Oh, and this one wasn't read by Toby Longworth which I was originally worried about; I needn't have been, on account of the fantastic job by Jonathan Keeble, though the juxtaposition of Euphrati and Qruze's voices compared to those of Toby's was a bit jarring at first. It's only natural, though!
