It is a golden age of discovery and conquest. Under the benevolent leadership of the Immortal Emperor and his superhuman sons, the primarchs, the Imperium of Man has stretched out across the galaxy. The forces of humanity have reached the stars. The premise, that of a galactic civil war threatening to bring about the extinction of mankind, piqued my interest. I've been told that this is probably one of the best and most entertaining sequences of books in the entire Warhammer 40,000 universe. The other was the opening chapter in The Horus Heresy sequence, Horus Rising. One was an omnibus comprised of three books, and I was reticent to start something that big for fear of losing interest. And since Newton seemed to imply that Dan Abnett was one of the best writers they had, I asked him to send me what he considered to be the author's best novels. When author/editor Mark Charan Newton got involved in the tie-in fiction vs genre fiction debate, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and give a work from Black Library a shot.
