(Graham McNeill)In the Warhammer 40,000 universe, I tend to find the "bad" guys (the forces of Chaos) more interesting than the "good" guys (Space Marines). This book focuses on one of the more interesting Space Marine legions that came to follow Chaos, the titular Thousand Sons, who ended up as a legion primarily of possessed, dust-filled suits of power armor. As you may expect from the subject matter, and the book's subtitle and opening line of "All is dust," this isn't a very uplifting book (even for the ludicrously dark W40k universe). With all that being said, I thought this was a great book. I read the whole thing over two days while laid low with the stomach flu, and reading this book and dozing off were just about the only thing that made it bearable. I don't recommend getting the stomach flu, but I do recommend reading this book if you're a W40K fan. (If not, I'd recommend starting with some of the Caiphas Cain
books, which will provide a much more approachable, light-hearted introduction.)W40k fan grade: A
Normal person grade: B-
