Could I put it down, especially in the last 150 pages? No. Therefore, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a good sci-fi story.
Another disappointment... I found this installment in the Horus Heresy series very disappointing.

Brilliant First of i'd like to say to all those who have written bad reviews for this book haven't truely understood it. Ok now thats out of the way now on with the review. The book is simply brilliant, you really connect with the characters and how they feel at different points in the book. It's really well written with non stop action all the way through. In my opinion it's a welcome addition to the series In short, a must buy for all the warhammer 40,000 fans out there. Thank you for reading my review.
