Soul Hunter (Night Lords Series) Book

Phenomenal!
Sometimes in certain movies, for me at least, things come together almost to perfection. The final confrontation between Deckard and Roy Batty at the end of Blade Runner, with the rain and the lighting and the sweeping camera angles; the first thirty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, when the camera closes in on Tom Hank's face with bombs going off and dudes picking pieces of themselves up off the beach; the scene from the original Starship Troopers when the drop ships have to release themselves early because of the surprise attack from the bugs and the music is blaring and everyone is freaking out and the captain keeps yelling, "remember your training!" These scenes stand out to me and are among my favorites.
This is a book made up of nothing but scenes like that. Quotable lines, amazingly vivid and intense action, and breathtaking intensity are on full display. Aaron Dembski-Bowden is an amazing writer. His ability to maintain tension along with writing some of the most frenetic but easy to follow action pieces is beyond admirable. It is enviable.
I'm on a massive Warhammer 40K kick right now and while I love the Eisenhorn trilogy because it was my introduction to this universe, this is the best Warhammer book I've read so far. I may even be able to say it is one of the best books I have ever read, period! Everything in here is in my wheelhouse. There is no fluff in these pages, no fodder, no filler. Just straight action, drama, intrigue, and mystery, interspersed with cheer out loud moments and some bad-ass dialogue that was never cheesy or forced.
If you have ever contemplated reading a book set in this universe, you can't find a better place to start. Five, no doubt about 'em, stars!
