Following up the initial trilogy of the series was always going to be a challenge, but James Swallow did it masterfully. Tense, action packed, and exhilarating, James told the story of Nathaniel Garro and the Eistensteins dramatic escape from Istvan III. I really enjoyed it!
Another in the guilt pleasure saga of wh40k novels ;) And yet another story of dudes in huge armors who are not the brightest ever, but think they are. This one was much better than the previous two books in horus heresy cycle. New protagonist, a different, more personal scale. I enjoyed it. I liked how from time to time the author tries to be self-aware. There was this dialogue of Garro with his ship captain where the captain just says that space marines are like teenagers ;) That was a pretty sweet touch. I already got used to the fact that everything here is super serious and everyone is a strategic mastermind, even though it seems like they are just simple dudes with their simplistic approach to life.
Again 4/5 in the guilty pleasure rating
