"Hunt for Voldorius"

Hunt for Voldorius (Andy Hoare)

On paper, this should be a slam dunk: The White Scars and Raven Guard - two of the most ignored groups of guys in W40k - team up to take on a demon prince and his band of minions. In practice, it's a bit of a letdown; there's not really much of a Hunt for Voldorius, as he takes over an entire planet, which is kind of hard to miss. The White Scars - basically space Mongols - are forgettably generic. In fact, "forgettably generic" sums the whole book up pretty well. It all rather disappointingly boils down to: There's some Good Guys, and they don't like this Bad Guy, so they go have a big fight. The end. This leaves the book to rely on its action scenes, which are workmanlike enough but nothing special, and the result in a firmly middle of the road book I can't really recommend unless someone loans you a copy for free.
