dubroq 's review for:

Dark Imperium by Guy Haley

3.0

---

This book was written to coincide with the release of the board game box set by the same name, and is bound by the same narrative found in the game, Ultramarines vs Death Guard. The plot is meh, as the universe of the 40K game is vast and this book has such a narrow scope, but Roboute Guilliman does have a great character arc, and reveals some major insight into the Emperor of Man. On the flip side, the characters of the Death Guard are your run of the mill "bad guys" and don't have the same breadth of cause that they do in the Horus Heresy novels.

All in all a good book, but nothing in the realm of the Heresy series.
