Customer Reviews
Read it
One of the best books in the 40k universe.
Nice read
So much to say about how much I enjoyed this book. The orks were well represented and same with the catachan. If you're familiar with the codex of either army you'll pick up on little things that will make you go "ahhh I know what he's talkin about" but if you don't you'll still understand it well enough. Great writing, lots of action, good pace.
One of the best.
Let me start by saying I've read a large number of 40k novels. That being said this is near the top of the list for overall action and solid storytelling. It has pretty much anything you could want in a 40k novel. The author did a wonderful job of not only nailing what Catachans should be, but also what orks should be. Basically anything you find in the ork codex unit wise is present and executed very very well.
It's good enough that It's worth twice the asking price in my opinion. I can't recommend or praise this highly enough. Buy it and support the writer so he will make more!
