Legion by Dan Abnett

Go to review page

5.0

In my humble opinion, one of the best books Dan Abnett has ever written. He brings justice and detail to the idea of the 'Alpha Legion' in the 40k universe and his descriptions of their methods of war is exactly how I imagined them operating. The twists and turns and surprises of the story hold the readers attention from page to page. An exceptionally well written Sci-fi story and a must read for any 40k fan. A truly inspirational endeavour.

5.0

Together with Aaron-Dembski Bowden's 'Soul Hunter', Terry Pratchetts The Watch series, in particular 'Feet of Clay', are the books that got me into writing. Sir Pratchett's unique brand of humour but also his talent for writing crime in a fantasy world, are what got me started on my own humble endeavour's.

Feet of Clay was the first Watch series book I ever read and I keep going back to it. It's funny, but is also a proper crime novel as the story takes the various characters through twists and turns of a criminal investigation taken to it's climatic and unexpected conclusion. An exceptional example of fantasy and crime fiction expertly woven together.
