Good book with an incredible ending Like many of the other reviewers here I have read all of the Heresy books so far (interestingly I was also super disappointed with Descent of Angles, too). Unlike some of them, I am an avowed Abnett fan - the Eisenhorn books in particular are excellent. Also unlike some here, I've always preferred WH40K books that weren't focussed on the Astartes.

Outstanding Just finished this book, and am absolutely gobsmacked. Couldn't put it down.

The best in the series so far. Except for Descent of Angels, all books in the Heresy series have been great. Still, Legion tops them all.

Where some of the other book have relied heavily on the fantastic W40K uninverse to see them through, Legion is an awesome book all in itself. Skip Descent of Angels, which sucked, and go straight to Legion.
