Publisher Description
Perturabo – master of siegecraft, and the executioner of Olympia. Long has he lived in the shadow of his more favoured primarch brothers, frustrated by the mundane and ignominious duties which regularly fall to his Legion. When Fulgrim offers him the chance to lead an expedition in search of ancient and destructive xenos weaponry, the Iron Warriors and the Emperor’s Children unite and venture deep into the heart of the great star maelstrom that haunts Perturabo's dreams. Pursued by vengeful survivors from Isstvan V and the revenants of a dead eldar world, they must work quickly if they are to unleash the devastating power of the Angel Exterminatus!
Customer Reviews
Angel Exterminatus
A fantastic read which keeps gathering pace as it goes along to a crescendo which does not disappoint, revealing many insights into the player legions as it goes.
Angel Exterminatus
Would recommend this book to anyone, it's a great read and has well written characters that leave you wanting to know more about them!
Good but slightly misfiring
The author is amongst the best of the Heresy series but this isn't his best - probably as it doesn't really have any consequences or go anywhere. The look at Peturabo is as good as Fulgrim the novel and the sections dedicated to him are excellent - unfortunately the plot they are hung on is a bit of a dull passage to nowhere and hasn't got much resonance - I guess this is an inbuilt problem for the heresy writers - we all know none of these characters can ever die and most will still be around 10,000 years later so there's lots of 'side missions' that aren't anything to do with the Heresy itself and some attempts to create 'big' events that really make no difference. Added to this - this novel takes place mostly in the Eye of Terror which is vastly different to the previous descriptions and ignores all the other information about it (unusual for Graham McNeill but clearly he didn't want to utilise any of the established info for this book). Worth it to read about a Primarch that is quite different in motivation but the rest of the story is pretty dull and could be skipped without missing anything important.
