As stated before, I am going to review Salamander, Storm of Iron, and Helsreach [not that anyone cares or will ever read this].

-Salamander by Nick Kyme(?) was an interesting story about the dark-skinned, red-eyed, flame and meltagun wielding Space Marines in green. Anyone who read the Salamanders short in Heroes of the Space Marines will know the main characters and understand what is passing at the beginning. The story is full of treachery, grudges, and action and while it seemed to drag in some spots, it managed to be a good story and left me wanting the sequel. Buy for a new experience.[9/10]

-Storm of Iron by Graham McNeil was an amazing story about the tenacious and cunning Iron Warriors and their incredible siege warfare. It would have been nice to know that this is a prequel to a Ultramarine story involving the half-breed Chaos Space Marine, Honsou. Yet again this book was full of treachery, grudges, and action that is amazing to read. Definite buy.[9.75/10]

-Helsreach by Aaron Dembski-Bowden (great author) was a complete surprise to me. I knew it involved the Black Templars and Chaplain Grimaldus [cover gives it away]. But I had no idea that Grimaldus was something of a whiny bitch. I mean, I've read a few stories that involved Space Marines feeling despair but this was just depressing sometimes. Don't get me wrong, he is probably one of the coolest Chaplains ever but... you get the point. It was a good book about the heroics of the Black Templars and the battle for Hive Helsreach on the infamous planet of Armageddon but it really dragged in some places. Otherwise, it was a good book that is a fairly decent read.[8.25/10]
