Once again Swallow disappoints While not as mind-crushingly dull as his work on the Blood Angel's, I have struggled to give this book two stars. The first three books in the Horus Hearsy series are hugely polished and very entretaining. The characters are well fleshed and you grow to like them immediately. In fact, I loved Nathaniel Garro, the main character of this book, even though you only see glimpses of him in the previous books.

The missing link! This book is more of a stand alone book to the original trilogy, starting before Isstvan III, over-lapping and ending just after it.
It reveals the events during "The Flight of the Eisenstein" and links the horus heresy up-with Warhammer 40k with far more of a feel of 40k to it than any of the others previously.
A fantastic little bonus is the massive secret revealed at the end about a very misterious organisation in the warhammer 40k universe. The only volume to date that has left me... more info
