Summary: A big let down...
Review: I'm giving this book 2 stars because it kept me interested for the majority of the time. However, I'm one of those people that if the ending sucks, it will ruin the whole thing for me. That's just what this one had, a TERRIBLE ending. A slap in the face to all people who have even an inkling of what Chaos is supposed to be.
Here is a Space Marine that rebels against the Empire, and thus is granted mutations almost immediately afterwards, and yet somehow seems to think that he is doing the right thing and following the way the Empire is supposed to be like. Sorry, no dice. I've always thought Astartes are thick headed, but this one was downright stupid. No space marine can get "blessed" with mutations and not suspect that it has something to do with Tzeentch, and yet he and his comrades blissfully maintain that they are evolving into the image of the "true emporer."
What makes it better is, at the end, when a demon finally reveals to them what they really are: mutants, what do they do? They kill the demon and insist that they are still on the true and noble path. After the earth shattering realization that they were following Chaos all along, they decide that there's still a way they can make things right and leave normal lives afterwards... Almost reminiscent of the pot smoking plot of the "Draco" trilogy, but I won't go into that today.

Summary: Breathtaking but technical!
Review: Interested in space marines? Familiar with the 40K Universe? If so, this is a remarkable book. The book makes heavy use of the language and concepts described in other novels and the game books themselves, making this a poor choice for new players.

INCREDIBLE story! Lots of twists and turns, very well imagined, constant action, interesting characters. You can tell from the writing that the author has a great passion for this story, and really enjoyed writing it.

Summary: Don't overlook this one...
Review: This book is about the "Soul Drinkers" Space marine chapter. The story starts off w/ the Soul Drinkers assualting a space station run by rich & corrupt family; the Van Skorvolds. The reason for this assualt?? To recover a ancient artifact that had been stolen from the Soul Drinkers hundreds of years prior. But, the Imperium and Adeptus Mechanicus have other plans for the space station and the Soul Drinkers missing artifact, the Soul Spear. This throws the Soul Drinkers into a conflict with all they have ever known and with the Imperium, to which they have dedicted their lives to defending.

This tale stretches from the battles on the Van Skorvolds space station to a Chaos rife world under the power of Nurgle; the God of Death and Decay. Don't over look this book. If you like the universe created by the folks at Games workshop and produced by their publishing company, The Black Library. You'll love this book!! There is also a second part to this book on the way, called "The Bleeding Chalice".
