A review by sergejglockner
Deathwing by Neil Jones, David Pringle
3.0
Solid Warhammer 40k fiction. I borrowed this from a friend and read it mainly to get into the mindset to play Deathwatch but it's fairly enjoyable pulpy scifi. If you really dig the universe or want to learn more, worth a read. If scifi (particularly the grim far future xenophobia type) then you're better passing this up. I might go back and read more WH40k sometime...
EDIT: Dan Abnett is a good write in this universe and I really like another of Charles Stross's books (Accelerando). O, and I love the short story format. It really has grown on me, especially for these types of stories, and looking back this reminds me of Pump Six (or perhaps vice versa since I read that later) by Paolo Bacigalupi (which is phenomenal!)
