daytonchen 's review for:
False Gods
by Graham McNeill
What must it be like, to watch the slow collapse of a great man into a lesser one? Would it be destined to happen or a spiral of simply chance?
I was quite surprised about the how engaging this book truly is. While it may not have the phenomenal detail of the first with respect to character development and dialog, McNeill has the good fortune to be picking up the story at the apex of the turning point of Humanity in the world of Warhammer 30k's universe. Quite literally a curtain call for the previous age of humanity and the start of a new one.
With nearly decades worth of previous work and stories across all mediums, the world of Warhammer 30k &40k is rich with detail and quick to paint the brutal struggle for survival in a universe so apathetic to humanity. McNeill drags you up close to the tragedy of humans, and leave you wonder about all of the what ifs.
If you're new to Warhammer 40k, I would recommend AGAINST starting with The Horus Heresy series because of how much is expected that you already know about the background, but if you are or have ever been curious about W40k, this has to be on the list of required readings.
