"Maldorax"

Maldorax (Ben Counter)

Yes, I know I've been reading a lot of W40k lately; Don't worry, I'm almost out for the time being.
As for this particular book, it's part of the SPACE MARINES BATTLES series, which means you get a whole lot of bang pow boom splat aaagh. So far I'm kind of split on this series, and I wasn't really sure what to expect.
Luckily, this book is all right; we're dealing with solid, middle of the road W40K fare. The basic jist is that a SPACE MARINE has escaped the demon planet of Maldorax, and comes back with a bunch of his buddies to kill the Evil Bad Guy whose name I've already forgotten. There certainly are a lot of Space Marine Battles depicted within, and the author alternating chapters where our hero is back with his buddies flipped with ones where he's escaping the planet is a nice touch. If you need a 40k fix you might as well pick this up, as you could certainly do a lot worse; otherwise it's nothing special.

Grade: C+
