Incarnation by John French
5.0
The second instalment of John French’s brilliant The Horusian Wars series, Incarnation follows on pretty directly from Resurrection to continue the story of Inquisitor Covenant and his pursuit of the shadowy cabal known as the Triumvirate. Guided by the Imperial Tarot, Covenant and his warband journey to the shrine world of Dominicus Prime where, amidst the secrets and machinations of the sprawling Monastery of the Last Candle, a terrifying power is about to manifest.
It’s as pacy as you’d expect from Black Library, with inventive (and often just really cool) action scenes aplenty, but the real implications of what’s going on are only slowly revealed and require some thought to properly process. Put the effort in, however, and you’ll be rewarded with another fascinating story that builds on what’s gone before, raising the stakes and delivering a powerful example of what the 40k universe really has to offer.
