I would recommend CHapter approved from 1990, or Realm of CHoas, The lost and the Damned.

Avoid the novels, they are awful. They have no relation to the game (every single marines is portayed as a WS9, S10, 9 W super hero). Also they tend to be long winded and simplistic.

Things that dont get answered in the just infuriate me and are just plain silly.

Borrow the codex of a buddy, it is a better read than the novels!
