Customer Reviews
A lesson in Tyranid lore
The Tyranids are an all consuming swarm faction that would see the assimilation of the galaxy and in this they feel like it. Instead of being the cannon fodder measuring stick by which characters in 40k media show their strength this novel shows the omnivorous threat they pose. Keeping true to the grim darkness of the setting the rays of light and hope that emerge from the characters’ experiences in the face of the exogalactic horror of the tyranids are candles in the dark soon swallowed up by the shadows as they burn defiantly to the last. I love this book and it ranks as one of my top favorites.
A must read if you like the tyranids!
I absolutely loved this book. The story is tightly wound and the tyranids keep you with a sense of suspense as they edge ever closer to the protagonists. The story has an added subplot in addition to the main story, and a rather surprising twist at the end.
