A review by brian
Dark Disciple by Anthony Reynolds

4.0

Marduk and the Chaos Space Marines of the Word Bearers chapter go looking for the key to unlock the device recovered in Dark Apostle.
Lots going on as they find that the planet they need to visit is under attack from tyranids and dark eldar.
The story moves at a good pace, but some of the battle scenes become a case of "move, shoot, move a bit more, shoot a bit more".
A couple of side stories look at other people caught up in events, and in keeping with the rest of the book they don't usually have a happy ending.
Overall, this is a good continuation of the story.
