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...
This is a collection of short comics released before the GotG movie to help acquaint audiences with the characters. Some of these comics showcase the modern incarnations of the characters, while others show the original appearances decades back.Some of these shorts were great, others were...straa...
The novel I read was called "Titan God Machine" and this novel was an amazing novel mainly because I like to read graphic novels and graphic novels have an interesting fiction fantasy to Its stories. this novel Is about a mighty warlord Titan named "Imperius Dictatio" and Its crew. When Dictatio'...
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...
