Customer Reviews

The inquisition is here
Straight to the point:
The major advantage of this book isthe Grey knights chapter itself. Rarely visited, rarely mentioned...Thw writer takes advantage of this and provides a few hints regarding its past. nice touch...
The story is good, with a logical flow and some welcomed intrigue. I could also say that the writer managed to find the balance between mindless butchering and storytelling.
The action is more than satisfying with good variance in locations that fit in completly with the story...
So why only 4 stars? 1 star down because of the lack of imagination when it comes to the enemies...The description focuses too much on the knights and leaves us with the generic notion of "bad huys" (i consider abnett's novel to be great in this area...).

Overall i would recommend this book to all warhammer fans irrespectively of thwther they are after death or intrigue!

Incredible
I don't play the game myself but find the mythos of Warhammer 40,000 incredibly deep and engrossing. This was the first novel I read based in that universe, and Ben Counter has got the feeling and the details spot on. You are left in no doubt that the Grey Knights he portrays are pure and true Space Marines, utterly blind in their faith, but out of necessity in the face of a galaxy filled to the brim with the threat of Man's extinction. The action sequences are gripping and of incredible intensity, and it all seems very plausible (noting of course that this is the 41st millenium of a Chaos-infested universe, and that the Grey Knights are elite amongst superhumans). The non-action parts are drenched in 40K atmosphere, even Ben Counter's description of some dusty old archives makes for intense reading. It really works excellently at firing your imagination. The only real problem I have with this book is that the prologue was the best part - though the whole thing is fantastic, the prologue for me remains a cut above the rest in its mind-blowing imagery. I highly recommended this book to anyone with an interest in the 40K universe, it does it great justice.

Ben "souldrinker" Counter does it again
Amazing story that takes the reader into the dark universe of warhammer 40000. This time it is about an elite team of grey knights that must help the inquisitors of the ordo malleus to banish the return of a powerful daemon prince of tzeentch.
Rich, dark and gothic packed action in a far future. Great Science fiction (not space opera) and definitely a must-have for all warhammer 40000 players.
Once again, Ben Counter RULES.
