Also check out Angels of Darkness, the final book in the penal legion trilogy also by Gav Thorpe, most of the HH novels... There are plenty of others as well.

..cracking read it is too.

Dark Apostle?
It is a cracking read indeed. Seemed to follow the Storm of Iron plot line slightly, but was still pretty good.
Shame about the sequel.

Amazon Description:Chapters Due is the sixth book in the Ultramarine series that chronicles the saga of Uriel Ventris and the fourth company battling the forces of chaos and xenos in the 41st millenium.

It's an ultramarines book so I think we know who's going to win that one.

On a side note, anyone read Dark Creed? Was it better than Dark Disciple?

Have you guys read the "Heroes of the Space Marines" short story collection. There is a short story in there that pretty much tells you what happens.

Spoiler:

**BrookM**

A white dwarf featured an extract of said novel where yes indeed a chaos fleet has attacked one of the Ultramar system planets.

Yes, the arm is from Pesanius.

Yes, that Marine is the evil clone of Uriel.

And while the Ultras will see through the day, I'm sure Honsou will do plenty of great things, though I doubt he can top the part where he kicks a sleeping Bloodthirster in the face and calls it lazy.

Spoiler:

The story "Skull Harvest" takes place after Honsou has had a run-in with Ventris and friends. In that story Honsou has a companion that is implied to have been created from the gene-seen of Uriel Ventris. Honsou is also sporting a spiffy new mechanical arm that is exceptionally tough, heals itself, and was taken from a fallen ultramarine. I suppose it could be coincidence, but it sound like Pasanius to me.

Then again he also mentions that he is gathering an army to lead against Ultramar, so maybe I am missing something and this is just foreshadowing.

I'm pretty sure we already knew that from one of the "Ultramarine" books.

Most of it anyway...

No green edging on the armour any more? I suppose he was a little drab for a captain previously though.

They do, but they're comparatively rare. The bare head for the Devastator Sergeant, for example, has a buzzcut.

That's why many online retailers are breaking boxes up into bits and selling them that way.
