Just kidding, of course I have more to say, I just gave this book a 5-star review. This book is a goddamn powerhouse and a welcome change after the dreck that was Outcast Dead & Deliverance Lost. The build-up of tension, shocking turns (even with foreknowledge of the lore), well-written characters, and gritty action are 40k at its best. Nobody writes world-ending catastrophe with the skill and attention to detail that Dan Abnett does. It was also nice to see the return of Tetrarch Nicodemus, familiar if you've read one of the recent short story collections (the title escapes me). Overall, a great read, and reminds me of what I love in the Horus Heresy books. Keep 'em coming Mr. Abnett!
