I liked this book for several reasons:1) I wanted to read a full description of what is a seminal moment in history of the Heresy that has been referred to repeatedly for the last two decades or more. I am therefore a little bias to say the least.2) I really (5 stars) liked the previous book in ...
It is nice science fiction and a pretty good example of tie-in writing. The author does a very good job, and the series mixes detective work, a little bit of horror and space opera action pretty well. Characters are solid and human enough, despite being ridiculously super human at what they do. O...
Dan Abnett: RácsatlakozvaReméltem, hogy Dan Abnett nem csak Warhammer regényt tud jól írni és saját történetei is éppilyen nagyszerűek, mint népszerű sorozatai. A történet a 86-os gyarmatbolygón játszódik, ahol a nagyhatalmak versenyeznek az ásvány kitermelésért. Lex Falk tudósítóként érkezik ide...
The concept is ok, and makes sense. The cultural environment is overpowered by the clunky terminology. The idea behind the story is a fairly shopworn SF premise. And the combat is about 80% realistic. The other 20% is forgivable, if only because it keeps the story moving. It was an ok read...I...
What I most liked about this book was the alternate universe it takes place in. Imagine that Victorian England has just entered mourning for Prince Albert. Queen Victoria's grief has created a fashion for all things funerary, and the market for remembrances is expected to be big. Now imagine, ...
Love this book after some of the slower novels that have been published recently, such a fear to tread and the weird such as Vulkan lives (bit fragmented for my liking). It was nice to read one of Dans novels. Although not his best work it's still up there for me. He is by far the best 40k noveli...

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war. An opening title common to any book part of the Warhammer 40000 universe based on the tabletop game. This novel focuses on Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, leader of a sole surviving regiment from the planet of Tanith. Destroyed by the forces o...
Dan Abnett write the best military science fiction. Sure it's a tie-in novel, sure it's space-science-fantasy-grimdark-whatever, but Ghostmaker, just like the other Abnett novels I've read, is amazing.Ghostmaker uses a short-story-vignette format, where alternating chapters explore the history of...
This is my third time reading this book, and much like the last two, I enjoyed it cover to cover. Abnett has mastered the ability to jump from character to character, often only after doing a few paragraphs as one character. Though this is generally warned again when it comes to writing, Abnett h...

Captains bellowed between the gusts and leather lashes cracked. Slaves struggled beneath the weight of crates, baskets and canvas sacks, staggering up shifting gangplanks to unload their burdens in the black holds of sleek-hulled raiding ships. The docks at Clar Karond, City of Ships, bustled lik...
Nine of the flight controllers were now involved, Eads included. Darrow stood by and watched with mounting concern. It had become ceaseless, day and night. They came in on shift, and took the reins of some ongoing brawl from a controller almost dead on his feet from fatigu...

He pointed at his enemies with his dust-caked fingers and jabbered, spitting out curses on their families and dependants, and particularly miserable dooms on the heads of their children, far away. A soldier learns how to ignore insults, but there was something about the Nurthene way of cursing th...
