Hell of a Finish, December 24, 2008

After having just finished Horus Rising, I immediately moved onto this book. Since this book deals with the last of the 20 Founding Legions of the Imperium, it doesn't have any of the significant names to carry its weight in the beginning.
The book starts out rather slow, and would have been pretty stagnant if not for Abnett's sharp humor and sporadic battles. The book escalates fairly and really picks up when the true protagonist's story starts.
This tale isn't about the honor of the Astartes or the regular hold'em bolt'em conundrum; this story is riddled with puzzles and deception creating a unique and somewhat refreshing experience.
This may not be Abnett's best work, but it's an excellent read and an intriguing change of pace. I would be hard pressed to find a reason not to read this excellent chapter in the 40K series.

 Best so far, November 12, 2008

If you're wondering if Dan Abnett lives up to Horus Rising, wonder no longer. This could be the best of all the Horus Heresy series. It is a mysterious and engaging novel, definitely worth a read.

A short review, October 14, 2008

I will keep this short, to do anything else would be to risk revealing to much of the plot. As other reviewers have mentioned this book concerns itself with the secretive Alpha Legion and their human followers, or subjects (depending on how you look at it I suppose). The book is one fo the best in the series so far and for me had perhaps the best ending of them all.

A different perspective to freshen the series, July 9, 2008

Legion is the first book in the Horus Heresy series that is not centered either on the perspective of a future Space Marine or current Space Marine. The story is told from the perspective of an Imperial Army detachment, created very similarly to the Space Marines.
Like most most reviewers have stated, this book does get off to a slow start, but that is only because this book introduces new terms that are specific to the this Imperial Army detachment. There isn't any straight forward explanation for the new terms, so the reader pretty much has to figure it out as they go. Dan Abnett does help the reader out along the way, just not immediately. Once the reader's got the terms' meanings down, there is nothing else hindering the reader's comprehension.
Legion has alot to do with duplicity as it does with straight forward action scenes. The action scenes are few and far between but the events between the battles will keep any reader coming back for more. I highly recommend this book for readers of the Horus Heresy series and for Warhammer 40k fans alike.
