... post that no one will ever read. I'm mean seriously, who even reads this shit? Cuz I know I don't. But anywhoooo.... this a late review of 5 books that I have read over the course of 2 months and they were...
The Killing Ground by Graham Mcneill, Fear The Alien by various authors, The Hunt For Voldorius by Andy Hoare, Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett, and The First Heretic by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. That is alot of reviewing... let's hope to it, shall we?

The Killing Ground- This book continues the Ultramarines Omnibus story of Uriel Ventris and his companion Pasanius from where they managed to cripple the forces of the epic warrior half-breed, Honsou of the Iron Warriors, and escape from Medrengard with their new mutant companions called the Unfleshed. They manage to end up on a backwater planet which also puts them in the middle of a small mystery and at the disposal of a rather arrogant general. Good story filled with the usual Ultramarine bravado and loyalty but nothing that is entirely new. [8.5/10]

Fear The Alien- Another one of those short story collabs about the many dreaded xenos in the galaxy and tales of their victory or how insidious their ways can be. Many of the stories were extremely fascinating and showed some insight to certain cultures or just how crazy the xenos are. There are short stories for the Salamanders and the night Lords that continue with their respective heroes and both (especially the Night Lords[it spoils alot for the upcoming book Blood Reaver]) are extremely well done. One story called Faces, unfortunately was a real snooze fest. It was supposed to be about the eldar harlequins and their ways but the first 43 pages of it were really dragging. Overall, good book with very diverse stories that are almost all worth reading. [9/10]

The Hunt For Voldorius- Now this... this was a really good book. The Space Marine Battles series really needed some help after the mildly depressing Helsreach and this book just kicks it all back into life. It focuses on the White Scars captain of the 3rd company and Master of the Hunt, Kor'Sarro Khan, and his glorius hunt for the Alpha Legion daemon prince, Voldorius. This book is front-to-back full of non-stop action and a great story. The 3rd company of the Raven Guard and the infamous Kayvaan Shrike make appearances and lend their strength to the White Scars and make for some truly epic moments. This book, just like Rynn's World, was well worth $12 and just made me wish there was more in this more epic-than-not series. [10/10]

Eisenhorn- This was a big-ass book (750ish pages) and it follows the famous Inquisitor Eisenhorn and his many acolytes as they purge xenos, heretic, and mutant alike for the 40k universe. It also shows his fall from the Puritan to the Radical side of his powers and it truly shows how easy it is to fall into to the dark just to protect yourself, those around you, and how Chaos can be used against Chaos in the right hands. It was a truly awesome book that kept me reading (despite minor drags in the story here and there) and was a great addition to my growing library. [9.5/10]

The First Heretic- And I shall conclude this review with a Horus Heresy novel that just blew my mind. The story focuses on the XVII Legion, or the Word Bearers, and their fall from grace. Starting from the Emperor's decree that he shall not be worshipped to the their role in the Isstvan masscares, it has you hooked. You almost actually begin to sympathize with their plight and see what went wrong, especially that of Argel Tal, a Captain who is just to good to disobey his primarch. This book is full of wonderous story telling and eye-popping surprises that make your jaw drop if you're a big 40k fan (some of these surprises involve the missing Legions, Cadia, and the birth of the primarchs). This was a truly outstanding story that deserves an award for Aaron Dembski-Bowden and Dan Abnett for constructing such an epic. [10/10]

Finally... I'm done. I think I'm going to go insane for a little bit now. Until next time my imaginary readers.
Glory be to Chaos!
