Rating: Summary: Best wh40k book out there Review: A very original story that describes chaos in a very interesting and colorful way; From its followers to its worlds and artefacts. While reading you get the impression that too many new story lines are established to deal with in a single book, but in the end it all comes together. It deals with the lowliest imperial and choas servants upto the mightiest demons, and even the emperor himself!
Rating: Summary: MIssunderstood Review: Although the book did not follow all of the Warhammer 40,000 fiction exacly it was wonderful. The thing I liked about it is it's originality. This is the only Warhammer 40k book that has originality. It is the only warhammer 40k book that surprised me. I think that the view inside of the eye of terror that the author gives is amazing, and unique. All the little things that he mentiones, all the details, and the bizzare artefacts from there alone make the book worth reading. It is also one of the few Warhammer 40k books that show how evil, and vile chaos actually is, and at the same time why one might be tempted to give his soul to chaos.

Rating: Summary: A good read Review: I enjoyed this novel. It is well written. It isn't directly about Space Marines but reveals some interesting features about life inside the Eye as well as the powers of the Emperor.
Rating: Summary: WH40K Fiction at its best Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was surprised by this fact. I'm new to the Warhammer 40,000 hobby and thought this book would be a great way to quickly absorb some of the game world's back story. What I didn't expect was a top shelf sci-fi adventure novel as good as any I've read -- AND I learned a lot about the world of the 41st. century. I'd recommend this book to every 40K player, but also to anyone who's a fan of good adventure fiction. You don't need to play the game to "get it."
Rating: Summary: Bleary Eyed. Review: I've read most 40k books and this one did not get me. I felt that the author's ideas and plots were to complicated. He got lost and tried to tie it all together to late. Truly an exploration in the realm of chaos. That aside this characters were believable. Had that junk trader feel.
Rating: Summary: Another Great Warhammer 40k Novel Review: If you are truly in love with the dark world of Warhammer 40k universe, you will love this novel. One little gem that is tossed in here is how a space marine is created, from being recruited til the time that he is specially fitted for his armor so that he can serve his Emperor. The gist of the novel is that a Space Marine goes off to fight for his Emperor and during the course of battle has to go into hibernation. When he wakes up he finds out that he has been asleep for 10,000 years and that the Choas Lords rule the universe, or so he has been told.

Rating: Summary: Adventure Fiction of the First Rank Review: It tells of a sad state in the publishing industry that such an amazing writer as Barry Bayley has to write franchise work while his originals gather dust. But it also tells something of Bayley's integrity as a writer how he can take such a world, insert a dash of his own talent, a touch of his ideas, and make it glitter with amazing vistas, rabid pacing and utter professionalism. This isn't the great BJB novel we've been waiting for, but it shows that he can work wonders when given the opportunity. And it is by far the best franchise or media tie-in novel I've ever read; entertaining from the first page to the last, with careful plotting and explosive action.
Rating: Summary: The great eye of terror. Review: The great eye of terror is 3 individual stories that entre twine for a great twist finally. Like Space Wolf, this book is a WH40K exception, it can be appreciated by someone who doesn't know what Terra is, to the hard core fan, who know what kind of plant Ragnar Blackmane smoke. It's a great way to discover the WH40K universe. The book will show the way of life of the peoples behind the scene of the war in the WH40K universe. It also has a humorist touch (like Space Wolf) that make's it fun and enjoyable to read, and the suspense will make you read the book at 3 am, when you should be sleeping, but you wont be able to, since the book is all what's on you're mind. Some 'real big' fans are complaining about a few choices the author made that is not 'respecting' the WH40K universe to the hair. I would like to say that the WH40K universe is fiction and flawed to begin with, why are they giving a hard time at the author for his personal touch the WH40K universe. It is fiction, but for these fans it's real life, and they see a little modification, and it shake they're faith in the great WH and they don't like this. But for anyone who know the difference between life and fiction, it's a nice and enjoyable novel, I highly recommend it to peoples looking at buying their first novel, along with Space Wolf.
