This review is from: Deathwing (Warhammer 40,000 Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

Truly excellent dark science fiction/military fantasy in the Warhammer 40,000 universe franchised from the UK-based global phenomenon Games Workshop. The title refers to an elite group of near-immortal warriors, part of the Imperial Space Marine Legions who fight rebellion and alien encroachment within and without Mankind's farflung empire in a dark, distant and ruthless future, an empire held together by the will of a mysterious all-powerful Emperor, nearly insane from thousands of years straining to provide a guiding light for interstellar travel through warpspace. The meat of the novel is a gritty and explosive account of the return of Deathwing to their homeworld for recruitment, and the young warriors who aspire to walk among the stars with their ancestors, clad in powered armour and genetically modified for longevity and battle ability. Similarities to the excellent novels _Starship Troopers_ and _Armor_ abound, but for pure breadth and scope, WH40K can't be beat.

These stories don't always follow the conventional 40k codex but still very entertaining! If you have read a bunch of other 40k books it is nice to see how the ideas changes and matured over the years.

This is sadly enough the first book that i have bought in a long time, and my first venture into the world of Warhammer 40K. After reading the preview allowed by Amazon I was hooked. I like it so much I paid extra to get it here faster. Im not a big reader and I honestly cant put this down.

Want to give a thanks to the guys a 40kforums for suggesting this.
