Best Warhammer 40K Novel? -

Only in Death Review
|
|
|
I've read about 40 Warhammer 40k novels (yes I am a masochist) and this is clearly one of the very best yet. It is utterly superior to any of the space marine novels warhammer readers often suffer through. I regret that there are so many more space marine novels than Imperial Guard novels. (Space marines are usually two-dimensional tin men with guns.) Abnett is far and away the best of the warhammer writers. This story is the most atmospheric and mysterious of Abnett's war novels. It's hard, unrelenting, and gripping. Really it makes other war novels by mainstream authors like Mailer seem boring and self-indulgent. Buy it and read it.

Only in Death Review

Dan Abnett has done it again. Only in Death, the latest installment in the well-received Gaunt's Ghosts novels, is a haunting tale following the adventures of the now famous Tanith First scout regiment. The author, does an excellent job of setting a spooky and foreboding atmosphere in the novel, and the atmosphere really plays into the plot a great deal. The setting of this novel affects the storyline much more than in Abnett's other works.
The Ghosts are charged with holding a crucial area dominated by a mysterious fortress-mansion on a remote, unforgiving world. This book delves more into the personal stories of the main characters and brings out a kind of psychological profile for the various protagonists. I will stop there, so as not to give away too much of the plot...I hate when reviewers do that...
Suffice it to say that, Only in Death is a great read, and if you are a fan of the Warhammer 41K universe or just good sci-fi you should definitely check this out soon...

Only in Death Review

Dan Abnett continually impresses me with his ability too write and continue the Ghost's story the way you would want it to continue.
Without giving away too much, this episode goes further into the psychological turmoil that the Ghost's are experiencing. Remember, they have been fighting for quite some time.
The book does get a little difficult to understand, but that is only because you are trying to remember the vastness of the environment they (the Ghosts) find themselves in.
Apart from that it takes many twists and turns and the ride reaches a very haunting and disturbing conclusion. Basically, the future of the Ghost's will be different then the past.
A great book by a great author.

Dan Does It Again But Only Better -

Only in Death Review

Dan Abnet is at it again with another Gaunt's Ghost novel. This novel keeps you on the edge of your seat. If you have read any of Abnet before you know that not character is safe. He has let us get to know and love characters before only to kill them off in the heat of battle. This novel is like that but more intense. As I read I even went on the web to try and find out if Mr. Abnet had anounced that this was the last Ghost novel. I really did not know who, if anyone, was going to be left alive at the end.
I have read all the Gaunt's Ghost novel and I have liked them all but the last few have not been my favorite. In my openion Dan Abnet is back in full form in this latest book. When it comes to the Warhammer world their is no better auther at this time than Dan Abnet.
If you are a Gaunt's Ghost fan you have to read this book. If you have not read any Gaunt's Ghost novel after reading this one you will not stop until you have read them all.
LOVED IT!
