Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-21 00:00:00 Jon Wade This one turned out to be a nope for me. Not the worst idea behind the story, but the narrative is rather blurry and plain. Loyalists are not horrible, yet they lack character development. Word Bearers are my main problem here, they are portrayed as a total chiche. Zero depth, they are nothing more than mustache twirling villains who only want to do evil shit. Also they are ZEALOTS. I swear I haven't heard the word zealot (and it's variables) as many times in my entire life as the author uses it in this book. Synonyms, dude! Use some synonyms! The story is not important to the main plot of the series, I would not say it completely terrible, but rather just unnecessary. Gained nothing from reading it.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-19 00:00:00 Jerry Clements This is my first review, but since this book seems to be getting some negative buzz i just felt i had to speak up. Needless to say i absolutely loved this book. It's the classic tale of David vs. Goliath in which a small imperial ship needs to stop an enormous traitor ship bound for the Ultramarines homeworld. The cast of characters is wonderfull. What's great about it is that there are two heroes from The Thousand Sons legion and World Eaters. Unique because both these chapters eventually turn traitor during the Horus Heresey. The book has some great action scenes and had my attention from beginning to end. A well deserved give stars:)!
