I'd been feeling that way about GG, too, until I read the Sabbat Worlds Anthology. I'm now pumped to keep reading the series.

Is this one of the BL Authors on Dakka or is it someone such as Dark Lord Seanron?

I am really looking forward to this book...
The others in the series have been... hit or miss.
Maybe because they are tied to Chapters with a lot of history, expectations, etc.
I think this one could be the breakout star of the series to date!

Right, so what famous battle is your novel going to be based on? Can't say that the Gildar Rift sounds familiar.

It's from one of the battles mentioned in the Space Marines Codex. Iif you want to see the paragraph the entire chapter-by-chapter breakdown came from, follow these simple steps.
Get your Space Marine codex.
Find the page with the galactic map.
Look for the call out box at the top in the middle. That's it. There it is, right there.
Proof positive that even two or three sentences can be inspirational. Ideas for stories are all over the codices, it's like 'hunt the synopsis' in there.

Started Reading Prospero Burns on the train today, so far (3rd Chapter!!!!!!!!!eleven!!!!) its good. Better than people gave it credit for.
Some spelling/grammar problems that I've never noticed in other novels that the editors at least should've picked up on, otherwise its good. Obviously I'm not far in yet though.
I remember reading a thread once where someone complained about the novel because a Space Wolf only shows up 100+ pages into the book. This is NOT true and said person must be [insert derogatory comment here]...
Oh how I love the HH series...

I loved the book. I really want to know how they get from this book to the current time.
I think some of the ideas in this book have percolated in Dan's head for a while.
I remember his "Lone Wolves" comic had a unique vibe for SM.
Are you sure the grammar/spell errors are not an intentional writing style?
I noticed some phrases were used oddly in the beginning and it carries through the book, so I don't think its an editting mistake.

Just one thing I have to add in about Prospero Burns, I love the fact that the Ascommani are not considered imperials; it's great to show how the fact that they have no contact with the imperium with exclusion to the Space Wolves who they think to be daemons or sky-warriors.
