До космооперы не дотягивает, но неплохо. Время убить можно. Пока только погружаюсь во вселенную 40000
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...
So for my birthday last year my wife bought me all of the available Print on Demand books from the Black Library. It has taken me a while (like nine months) but I have finally got to this one.The Gothic War book, which is made up of the books Execution Hour and Shadowpoint are like many of the print on demand books in that they are old and out of print. Unlike some of the old Black Library books, these hold up pretty well as the years have past (at least Exection Hour has). There are no Landraid...
Didn't finish, and didn't love it. I think Gordon Rennie is a great comics writer, and perhaps COULD BE a great novel author, but this felt EXTREMELY rushed (well, the first two short stories didn't; they were fine and enjoyable), badly edited, and just kind of dull. Stuff happens, but ... he hadn't really gotten a handle on how to tell the story he wanted, I don't think. Curious to check out the sequel. Perhaps it will "flow" better for me.
If you enjoy sci-fi and space battles outside the general Star Trek and Star Wars universes, then this is definitely a book for you
Still a damn good read with a nice spread of Naval action and on the ground battles. Over the top as ever, and probably sometimes hard to visualise if you are not a Warhammer 40k fan (especially the ships designs are only ever hinted at), but fun stuff. Made me realise I never got around to reading the Sequel, Shadow Point, and it seems hard to get for a reasonable price.
Со времен Ереси Хоруса Империум Человечества не знал космических баталий, настолько масштабных и беспощадных, как это случилось во время войны за Готический Сектор. В ходе кровопролитных боёв Силы Хаоса отжимали планету за планетой, и никто даже не подозревал, что самое жуткое еще впереди. Владыка Хаоса Абаддон создал на базе древних знаний гигантский механизм “Убийцу Планет”, с помощью которых он планировал подмять под себя весь Сектор. Много лет назад Абаддон обещал Воителю, что Вселенная буде...
A fantastic book that immerses you in Battlefleet Gothic. The characters are interesting, the plot is intriguing, and it has a great pace. It is a book that I could not put down and I have read multiple times.
Liked it just fine for the fluff it gives. But strangely not enough space battles for a series based on Battlefleet Gothic.
I picked up this gem of a book at a used book store along with Shadow Point, and both books are excellent. I was surprised at the quality of the writing, the interesting characters and the plot pacing. These books are by far two of the better Warhammer 40,000 novels that I have read--and I have read over 100 Warhammer 40,000 novels to date (most are not very good, but I love the genre and the unique dystopian setting in which the stories take place).
One of the best Warhammer 40K novels with a good blend of all the different military arms of the Imperium coming to battle the forces of Chaos.
Love space battles, and 40K always delivers on a grand scale! Speaking of, GW really needs to bring back Battlefleet Gothic to the tabletop!!!
Fast paced , fun and IN SPAAACE !
Very exciting and well-written book. Keeps you thinking and brings out imagination through its clear descpritive text
