Slow to start, but 1000 xenos are dead before long

Very detailed look at the Iron Snakes chapter rituals, training and combat doctrine. Includes some large scale combat. Not my favorite space marine tale but it's a pretty satisfying ending.

amazing book by Dan Abnett!

He does it again. the author writes a perfect novel building upon the lord and background of the Iron Snakes Space Marine chapter. the story is executed perfectly by Toby Lomgworth. through explicit writing, and cunning wordplay Dan Abnett build up the following of Brother Priad and his space Marines on their journey

What just happened!?!?!

Wait space marine that don't talk like Screamo-Teens... better! Yup, you fix them.. two words

For Ithaka!

Abnett is excellent as always and Longworth continues to bring the universe of 40k to life with his sonorous voice. A different feel to the Astartes, which was welcome and entertaining.

A 40k Fan’s dream

This book has it all! Interesting characters, a fun plot, action, astartes, and bolters.

I found myself living in the grimdark universe of 40k, but even in such a dark universe there is light. Mr. Abbot writes astartes, the space marines, very well. While the main character is compelling, his arc is not the most amazing, but he is an astartes, and he does learn lessons and improves.

All in all, if you’re a fan of the universe, like bolter porn, or are a newcomer, this is the book for you.
