When it comes to Black Library, there are a few key novels which are signified as being massive game changers for the franchise and fan favourites. Ian Watson’s Space Marine, Dan Abnett’s First and Only, and Graham McNeill’s Storm of Iron are the traditional ones, but the Gothic War duology is sadly forgotten these days. While likely down to a lack of reprints until recently, the sad truth is that it’s one of the best novels of its kind and covers a subject so often skipped by many authors: Nava...
Good imperial Navy book
You know, I know I read it. I know I didn't hate it. But thats about it. An unremarkable WH40k yarn, though I do have a soft-spot for the "navy" part of that universe.
I'm glad I dug out this old classic. I can't recall if I've ever read book one in the series, Execution Hour, but it didn't matter for this story.First published in 2003, it's funny to see how the WH40K lore has changed in those seventeen years. At one point in the story, the captain of Lord Solar Marcharius sits down for a drink with his navigator. He gets his navigator to look into warp for him and scry the future. The navigator pulls down his bandana, revealing his third eye, and opening it.
It was a good book, that started a little slow but picked up in the end. I enjoyed it but Execution Hour (the 1st in the series) was better.
I'm of two minds about this book. On one hand, I really, really enjoyed this, especially in comparison with the first half of this duology, which I thought worked well UNTIL it became a unified story. This is obviously a novel, not a novella & some short stories put together, and that's a good thing. On the other hand, what I enjoyed MOST about this book was the first half, the kind of "setting all the pieces in order" and the tension and the character buildup. The second half, the huge four-sid...
Seemed very similar in feel to a rush job to close out all the holes in a canceled story on a manga magazine. It brings in all these factions together, shakes in an actual deity, and ends on a cliffhanger after pretty much saying many beings died and here's the check off list.
Eldar and the Imperium versus Chaos and the Dark Eldar, quite a fight.
Well this was somewhat disappointing. As the sequel to the previous book I sort of hoped it would answer some of the outstanding questions, but it didn't touch on anything from the previous book at all. Instead posing a bunch of new questions, most of which it didn't really answer either.And the fundemental plot didn't really make much sense either.All in all, a disappointment. Though the space battle scenes were good, which gets it the second star.
Роман оставляет больше вопросов чем ответов. Для фанатов космобоев неплохо, но интриги особенно нет.
