Entertaining but lore questionable

The story was fun and it was great to hear a Genestealer Cult being smart and using interesting tactics. My biggest quibble is that Mr. Clark took some liberties with established lore, like who the Captain of the 5th Company is in the era the story happens as well as Dorn-descended Space Marines suddenly having the organ required for automatically going into suspended animation following severe but non-lethal injury. Those aside, the story is entertaining if not fantastic.

Fist psyker

Was cool to see a IF psyker use geomancy. The gene stealer cult was interesting. Better than I thought it was going to be overall.

loved it

excellent story of the imperial fists and genestealer cult. a must read for patriarchs everywhere.

A good example event in the 40K universe

It’s not deep in terms of story and character development but it is a good example of 40K in terms of it’s full of high stakes, action, and war.

Also a decent novel if you want to read something with Imperial Fists/Genestealer Cults/Deathwatch.

3.5/5

Imperial Fists make a kill team of the Inquisition stand down. - FANBOY GARBAGE

Imperial Fists disobey and intimidate a deathwatch kill team…inquisition kill team…into standing down. It’s a fanboy novel. Regret spending a credit on this garbage. Narration is great.
