I'm re-reading the Horus Heresy in preparation to start the sub-series Siege of Terra, and this is my review of Slaves to Darkness , book 51 in the series. By now, the traitor legions are getting awfully close to Holy Terra, but Horus himself is mortally wounded. Again. Still.

Things look bad...

Having just read Leman Russ: The Great Wolf of The Primarchs books from the Horus Heresy series, I thought it appropriate to continue on to the next in the series. Graham McNeill's Magnus the Red: Master of Prospero is something of an ironic title, I think, because Magnus spends some time i...

Last month, I started reading Gate of Bones, and only realised after I finished that it was book 2 in the Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of Fire series. That says a lot for how modular Warhammer books are, and I really love that about them, and because I found Gate of Bones so satisfying, I didn't inte...

I don't want to hate the Space Wolves, but The Wolftime does the faction no favours. As a novel, it's got awkward pacing, a strangely anticlimactic story, and several unlikable characters. It left me disinterested in a faction that's pretty interesting on paper. I like the idea of space vikings,...

I just finished reading Gav Thorpe's The Wolftime, book 3 in the Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of Fire series, and just because I didn't like it doesn't mean it's not well-written. Gav Thorpe wrote The Grey Raven, one of my favourite stories from Heralds of the Siege, and one of the reasons I liked...

I started reading Gate of Bones, and it wasn't until I'd finished it that I realised it was book 2 in the Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of Fire series. I'm sure the first book is very good, but I have to admit I got through all 384 pages of Gate of Bones book without any confusion, so I probably won't...

Having read about Roboute Guilliman's return to Warhammer 40,000, I decided to read Roboute Guilliman: Lord of Ultramar in the Primarchs book series. This is my review of the book. This post contains no spoilers.

I have no particular affinity for the Ultramarines, aside from the fact that th...
