This is the third volume of Graham McNeill’s Adeptus Mechanicus trilogy and also one of the more complicated and sort of all encompassing WH40K novels I've read. Of note is how most of the plot takes place out of the reach of the Emperor and his perpetual Astronomicon beacon, thus making it kind of ...

Standalone Warhammer 40K novel, I think it was one of the first to tell the story from the Chaos Space Marines point of view.A barren planet, defended by local Imperial Guard forces finds itself under attack by the Iron Warriors.Below the Warsmith, there are three main characters all vying for his a...

Continuing the brutal reality started in the first book, this one deftly interweaves a political scheme where Horus is injured to the precipice of death, brought to a religious environment for healing, recovers, then totally reverses his meaning for universal conquest from man-controlled peace to to...

Collection of Horus Heresy related short stories to somewhat further the Heresy timeline. The Iron Within and Savage Weapons stand out to me, but I do feel that some of the short stories could have been fleshed out to full length novels, leaving these feeling somewhat rushed and contrived.

Having read the previous four in this series, I was able to clearly place where Fulgrim fit in w...

Adept Zeth rescues Dalia, a transcriber, from execution with the aim of using her to develop a machine that can allow mankind to reac...

This is basically a conglomeration of short stories that pertain to the Heresy saga. Enjoyable read....I particularly enjoyed the story The Last Church, which details how the Emperor basically eliminated houses of worship on Terra to pave the way for his strictly secular rule of Terra and his antici...

This Warhammer entry, by whom I consider the master writer thus far of the Horus Heresy saga, is epic in plot, characters, and emotion. A basic summary without getting too long winded like so many reviews I see: the Emperor has decreed that any sorcery by his beloved primarchs and their Legions as a...

To me, this was an EXCELLENT Warhammer 40K novel. McNeill manages to throw about 7 or 8 very different and distinct types of WH40K characters into a cosmic quest to a region of the galaxy known as the Halo Scar. McNeill manages to mix in elements of real-world machinery, supernatural events of Chaos...
