the most enjoyable books i have read are by Dan Abnett. he seems like the best author. Guants ghosts are amazing, and the Eisenhorn trilogy is fantastic. the reason Gaunts ghosts are amazing is because they actually survive to live another dozen novels or so. 99% of one-off
IG novels are where entire groups, regiments or armies crumble to a few men. example:
i find graham mcneils Ultramarine stories reasonable, though they could be improved. as i go back to Dan Abnett. his stories are the most realistic and interesting i have ever read, and a really good use of characters.
[/spoiler] but other wise, start digging up books by him. they are very good.
EDITED FOR SOLADRIN. HAPPY NOW???????
