The Grey Knights are all that stands between mankind and the ravages of Chaos. Since their secretive beginnings during the Horus Heresy, these legendary Space Marine daemon hunters have journeyed into the dark realms of the warp – and beyond – in pursuit of their supernatural enemies. Through an intensive regime of psychic training, new recruits are brought to the clandestine fortress of Titan to join the hallowed and vaunted ranks of the 666th Chapter. More than ever, these legendary battle-brothers must be vigilant and ever ready to defend the Imperium for the forces of Chaos are never truly defeated, and Armageddon beckons…
Customer Reviews
An insight into a Knight
Its a very well poised and heartfelt retelling of a Gray Knight’s experience during a time marred by true evil and fabricated evil.
Applause for Dembski-Bowden
Often is the case where you pick up a 40k book and and half way through, the reading becomes a chore because of gaping plot holes, flat characters, and over used phrases. You still love the universe and the setting but you've got the literary version of a lack luster Michael Bay film. And you find yourself hoping that someday a writer will give the fiction the treatment that it deserves. And boom, in walks Dembski-Bowden.
Pretty sure he will become the definitive author for the 40k universe. And yes I've read Abnett and McNeill. Tried to trudge my way through a few Counter books. No one does it better than Dembski-Bowden.
This book will give you everything you want from a 40k novel. And He even manages to slip in some sexual tension (or as close as it gets to sexual tension in the grim darkness of the future) which isn't necessary but adds a new element and makes this story stand out from the rest.
I started in and couldn't put it down. Read it in two days.
The Wolves steal the show. Great read!
It’s in the title.
