A review by romankurys
Draco by Ian Watson
4.0
This book caught me by surprise! First part of the Warhammer 40k "Inquisition" is definitely a huge step forward from the "Space Marine". Ian Watson has done a fret job spinning a yarn in this dark, brooding and very interesting world.
Having never played any of the games, I plunged right into books because the concept of a world that mixed fantasy, sci-fi and a very dark spirit appealed as a good alternative reading.
I had fun flying around planets and crawling to get to meet this mysterious, ever present and eternal Emperor.
Characters were fun, different and very unique.
It's actually this uniqueness that's completely sold me. There's no cookie-cutter here, and I really want to know what happens next.
So apart 2 of the trilogy is a very natural "GO".
Not the easiest of reads though, you've been warned. You'll need a quiet room to fully visualize all that Watson's talking about.
