Gonna do this before I go back to playing EBF 3...
So approx. 2 weeks ago I bought the latest in the never ending Horus Heresy called Nemesis by the amazing James Swallow. The book is based on attempt made Horus's life before he sets foot on Terra. Under orders of the Master of Assassins (big shocker who he really is [sarcasm]), the six Assassin Clades [Eversor, Vindicare, Culexus, Callidus, Vanus, & Veneus] are supposed to give one of their best to the 'Kill-Team' that is supposed to eliminate Horus. Right about now it sounds like a bad action flick... and it is. But like 'The Expendables' it pulls it off amazingly! A majority of the book is put around the gathering of the team and info about the various Clades and the people in them. I've never knew how much I loved Eversor assassins until I read this. [They are awesome.] The other half of the book is like a detective story that is not really required but it is the only way to make the Villain seem more villainy.
Overall, fantastic book that is well worth the read. [9.75/10]
