    Science fiction with supernatural tendencies - 2 stars
    Galaxy in Flames Review
    A galaxy in flames is the kind of book that you read like you would grap red twizzlers. You do it without thinking because that is what the author want you to do. Kind of fun but lacks any sembelance of Hard Science Fiction.
    Background fluff for Warhammer 40k - 4 stars
    Galaxy in Flames Review
    Good background fluff and intresting reading. If your a 40k player and want background material on the Heresy for your games this must read series.
    Galaxy in Flames is great ! - 5 stars
    Galaxy in Flames Review
    I was eagerly anticipating this book after reading the first two Horus Heresy books. Ben Counter did an excelent job. I loved this book. It is the best of the Horus Heresy trilogy. The action was nonstop. I could not put the book down. He did a nice job of tying up all of the loose ends of the trilogy. I am now definately a big fan of Ben Counter. Superb work. He did a great job of bringing the space marines and the warhammer 40k universy to life. I am looking forward to the next book in the Horus Heresy line.
    THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!! - 5 stars
    Galaxy in Flames Review
    I am an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction and I can tell you there is no sci-fi like the Horus Heresy. This series is loaded with awesome descriptions of brutal combat. The conversations between characters are philosophical. Reading this is more entertaining than watching a great movie or playing your favorite video game.
    Counter resurrects the false gods and reaches Miltonic heights - 5 stars
    Galaxy in Flames Review
    Ben Counter's description of the massacre on Isstvan III and the last stand of the loyalists Sons of Horus rises to the highest level of military science fiction. He seems to have relied heavily on historical renditions of the battles of Stalingrad and Berlin to create a gritty realism that far surpasses the first two Horus novels.

    But his achievement doesn't end with great battle scenes. He accomplishes two things that elevate his novel to a level above "good" military science fiction. First, he captures the camaraderie that develops on the battlefield between fellow soldiers and conveys those feelings with both pathos and warmth. Several set scenes vibrate with such emotion that I found myself comparing them to similar scenes in Homer's Iliad and Tolkien's The Return of the King. Second, he illuminates the rise of the Emperor cult and illustrates vividly (not tells) the attraction of Chaos gods. This illumination is essential to the tension that must exist between Chaos and the Empire.

    If the Horus Heresy is going to be a great series and I suspect it will be, the reader must understand the attraction of Chaos, otherwise it is just another story about super heroes fighting villians or put another way--good verses evil. I think Ben Counter has found the middle way, fairly describing the attraction of Chaos and the piousness of the Emperor or Order.
