Summary: Fantastic
Review: I have read 95% of all Black Library titles. Finally a book that doesn't end with the "good" guys winning. The book centers on the Iron Warriors and their objective. Fantastic battles, intrigue, and some curious moments to look forward to. Get this book, read this book, and hold onto this book as it is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Summary: Storm of Iron
Review: I just got this book a few days ago and i am not the far into it but what I have read of it is really good. I don't really read alot but this book would really change that if more books where like it. If you are into action then this is a really good book for you and I suggest that you read it.

Summary: Perturabo would be proud!
Review: Kudos to Graham McNeill for escaping the all too common trap of resorting to portrayals of the traitor legions as nothing more than thoroughly wicked, single-minded pawns of the Ruinous Powers. I have always felt that at least some of the denizens of the Eye (my beloved Iron Warriors in particular), deserved a much more in-depth treatment than the stereotypical, two-dimensional, comic book approach employed by many Black Library authors. A 40K novel narrated primarily from the point of view of a lucid and oftentimes sympathetic chaos marine was a welcome treat indeed.McNeill's story centers around the protracted siege of an ancient Imperial stronghold by a vast contingent of Iron Warriors hoping to wrest a prize of incalculable value from the Imperium of Man. The highlight of the book for me was McNeill's detailed account of the painstaking, systematic breach of the stronghold. I do not know whether McNeill is a student of military history and medieval siege techniques but I certainly found his narrative to be both believable and compelling. The rather surprising end to the novel leads me to believe as though a sequel is perhaps in the works and if memory serves me correct, McNeill confirmed as much when I met him briefly last year at a Games Day event. I eagerly await the second installment in this unique saga.

Summary: 5 Stars for a sci/fantasy book
Review: McNeil is a very impressive writer. His descriptions of combat had me loving this book to no end. This is a story for those vile lovers of Chaos(I'm more of an Imperial guy). I highly recommend this book for Warhammer AND sci-fi/fantasy fans. The only change I would have made to this Warhammer 40k masterpiece is to rip out the last two pages and have an Inquisitor show up and calmly say, 'Exterminatus.' Otherwise, this book has everything you want from a 40k story. Imperial Fists, Chaos Marines, Warsmiths, mechanicus, and best of all TITANS. Sadly no inquisitor. You can't go wrong with this book.

Summary: A downer, but good
Review: One of the better 40K novels. Very well written, but rather depressing. An Imperial world is besieged by the Iron Warriors for some reason they don't realize, and the Imperial Guard on the planet get pretty screwed up.

Summary: Simply awsome.
Review: This book was by far one of the best warhammer 40k books i have ever read. I just finished it two days ago and it only took me 3 to read. The gripping storyline is awsome. Its characters are well defined . The story is told through the perspective of not only the Guardsmen and Space Marines. But also from the Chaos Marines. The book had great plot twists with constant 'on the edge of your seat' battles. From the giant Titans to the lowly foot soldier, this book had it all. The ending of the book probably surprised me most as it does not turn out how most people would expect it. I will not reveal more but it is a must read for warhammer 40k fans and alike.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: This is one of Warhammer 40,000/Black Library/Games workshops finest books to date. Take the frightening Warsmith and his legion of Iron Warrior chaos space marines. Then throw in a mighty Imperial Citadel guarded by a army of Imperial soilders. Mix in some Imperial Fists and a plot thats kept hidden until the end. And, what you get is a great tale. If you like War on a graffic and grand scale and you have ever wondered what a Choas space marine would be like...This Book is for you. Great characters, easy to follow and a devious plot. Wish I could read it again for the first time.

Summary: Best 40K Novel!
Review: This short, quick read blew me away by delivering a war story of epic proportions. How such a colossal battle was shrunk into those few pages is beyond me! My favorite out of the black library books. A very fun, quick-paced novel that I found tremendously difficult to put down. Contains violence and destruction to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty reader, matched with an engaging plot. For anyone interested in the WH40K universe this book gets my highest recommendation.

Summary: How it should be
Review: Wow, that is all I can say. I have to admit, I am a huge fan of this author, especially after his work on the new fluff and the new ultramarines book. That being said, this is a good book for anyone who roots for the bad guy, and at no point in this reading was I anything but cheering the bad guy on. I read it in a weekend, and I want to read it again.
