"Galaxy in Flames"

Galaxy in Flames (Ben Counter)
 
The last book of the trilogy that opens the Horus Heresy series, this book really closes with a bang. Like the previous two books it has the same cast of charecters, and here's where the shit really starts going down. I think this is probably the darkest W40K book I've eve read, which is really saying something; It has a kind of Empire Strikes Back vibe, except that since this is Warhammer, nobody's frozen in carbonite so much as they are betrayed and horribly murdered. I couldn't put this one down even as I was dreading what was going to befall our heroes. I want to talk more about the grueling battle at the end of the book, but it's spoilers, so I'm just going to give out the grade of...

Grade: A
