A review by bogdanbalostin
Warriors of Ultramar by Graham McNeill
5.0
You know what? 5 stars. This was fun.
Though I am biased because I've always liked zergs in Starcraft. (well, obviously not like like, but find it fascinating as biological weapons and alien civilization intend on mindlessly destroying anything. It's a metaphor to the extreme of the survival of the fittest, but let's not talk here about metaphors.)
So this novel is pure and simple the fight against a tyranid invasion. Plenty of action (more than enough), slim but sufficient characterization for its purpose, some new lore about the Warhammer 40k Universe.
If words like zerg or warhammer don't sound familiar to you, then better skip this one, or why not, pick it up just because you're curious (by the way, it's part of a series of loosely connected novels called The Ultramarines).
