I liked it for exactly that reason, nice for the bad guys to win for a change!

I would like to put a call out for the original Space Marine novel, surely the most influential of all time, and now no longer at the whims of ebay sharks thanks to the digital printing service

Thousand sons has some twists to it that was a little odd.
Any one else read it and found it the same ?

The connection with the dawn of war omnibus and the thousand sons novel, there are characters from both.

Wonder is there any sort of connection between the two books. Between the shared character.

I dont wanna spoil it for any one so

Spoiler:
Ahriman is in both but seems to be in different states from one to the other. In Thousand Sons he is a marine, but in the dawn of war omnibus he is a chaos marine i think

"We are the wolf that stalks
The stars in the sky

And swallows the star-fire

We hide amongst the night
When light is gone

The Light is within us

We run the ruin of Fire
In the darkness

Foes burn in our passing "



"The weak will always be led by the strong. Where the strong see purpose and act, the weak follow; where the strong cry out against fate, the weak bow their heads and succumb. There are many who are weak; and many are their temptations. Despise the weak for they shall flock to the call of the Daemon and the Renegade. Pity them not and scorn their cries of innocence - it is better that one hundred innocently fall before the wrath of the Emperor than one kneels before the Daemon."

I was realy confused with the bit at the beginging and the end. Is it Magnus or Ahriman speaking, or someone completely different

I just finished Soul Hunter and was blown away by it. So very different from almost anything I've read before in the 40K universe (and - up until I saw this whole list - I thought I had a fair chunk of it, when in fact I've probably only read a quarter to a third of those). Anyway, Demski-Bowden has rocketed to the top of my 40K author charts and I can't wait to read his sequel in the spring!

Up until about a week ago Storm of Iron was my Favourite. I finished Soul Hunter a few days ago and was completly blown away by it, simply awesome.

The galaxy is the Emperor's, and anyone or anything who challenges that claim is an enemy who must be destroyed

If you like that idea you should read Blood Quest 2, or Hammer of Daemons. both are set on Chaos daemon worlds inside the eye of terror.
