Blood of Asaheim by Chris Wraight – Review [Lord of the Night]

Brother Ingvar looks good here, though a snarling wolf helm would make him look infinitely cooler.

Lord of the Night reviews the first of the new Space Wolves novels by Chris Wraight, Blood of Asaheim.

“A thrilling return to the Wolves of Fenris, in that excellent mix of humour and strength that Wraight did so well in Battle of the Fang, and the start of a gripping new story.” – The Founding Fields

The Horus Heresy: The Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow – Dual Review [Bane of Kings & Lord of the Night]

Quite a nice cover, but it's a shame that the real highlight of it can't be seen.

Bane of Kings and Lord of the Night revisit book four in the awesome Horus Heresy series, The Flight of the Eisenstein, by James Swallow, published by Black Library.

“A gripping and tense novel that really ups the ante for the entire Horus Heresy series and expands on one of the most important, yet overshadowed, pieces of lore.” - The Founding Fields

“An awesome addition to the Horus Heresy series, Flight of the Eisenstein is a very strong read from veteran Blood Angels author James Swallow .” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Horus Heresy: Galaxy in Flames by Ben Counter – Dual Review [Bane of Kings & Lord of the Night]

Galaxy-in-Flames

Lord of the Night and Bane of Kings continue their re-reviews of the Horus Heresy Saga, returning this time to the Siege of Isstvann III, the final act of the opening trilogy, written by Ben Counter and published by Black Library.

Galaxy in Flames is the Horus Heresy version of an over-the-top action movie, with an action-packed, page-turning read but little in the development of characters. However, Counter manages to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the last installment of the initial trilogy.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“An enjoyable third novel that while not meeting the same standard as its two predecessors, is still a good book with plenty of incredible moments.” ~Lord of the Night, The Founding Fields

Horus Heresy: False Gods by Graham McNeill – Dual Review [Bane of Kings & Lord of the Night]

The Luna Wolves in all their glory... while it lasts.

Bane of Kings and Lord of the Night continue their revisitation of the Horus Heresy series with Graham McNeill’s first entry, False Gods, the second book in the New York Times Bestselling, Multi-Author epic published by Black Library. You can find their first review of Horus Rising here.

“A weak second installment in the Horus Heresy series by Graham McNeill and not his finest moment, but is essential reading if you want to learn why Horus fell.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“A classic novel that is one of the most important and most tragic parts of the Horus Heresy. This is a novel that is not to be missed!“ - Lord of the Night – The Founding Fields.

Shadowhawk, Bane of Kings, Bellarius and Lord of the Night welcome you to the second comics round-up for March.

“Unusually, its all graphic novels this month for the most part and once again, the experience has been across the spectrum. The shining lights this month have been DC’s Huntress and Green lantern.” ~Shadowhawk

The Death of the Family is one of the greatest Batman tales ever written, and Paul Cornell’s Wolverine gets off to a solid start.” ~Bane of Kings

“Probably the only comic in which you want to see more people and less fire breathing lizards.” ~Bellarius

Hirano’s latest work is everything we’ve come to associate him with. Immensely gory violence, over-the-top in a good way characters and absurdly hilarious moments that abruptly switch back to unrelenting carnage. What fan of his would have it any other way??” ~Lord of the Night

Lord of the Night by Simon Spurrier – Book Review [Bellarius]

Lord_of_the_Night_novel

Bellarius delves into the often overshadowed Lord of the Night by Simon Spurrier to see if it was worth bringing back for Black Library’s print on demand.

“A flawed gem of a title which takes a direction you would not expect for traitor marines.” – The Founding Fields

Horus Rising by Dan Abnett – Dual Review [Lord of the Night & Bane of Kings]

The cover, I think, is no longer as impressive as it once was what with Fear to Tread, Know No Fear and The First Heretic to compare it to. But it's still a nice one and especially nice in full hardback form.

Lord of the Night and Bane of Kings review the epic Horus Heresy series, starting at the very beginning with Horus Rising by Dan Abnett.

“An epic and eye-opening start to the beginning of the greatest story in Warhammer 40,000.” – Lord of the Night, The Founding Fields

“A great opportunity to revisit the early days of the Horus Heresy. A powerful opener to one of my favourite series.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Garro: Sword of Truth by James Swallow – Advance Review [Lord of the Night]

The fact that he looks like Gerard Butler only makes him 10x more badass!

Lord of the Night reviews the absolutely riveting Horus Heresy audio Garro: Sword of Truth by James Swallow.

“Swallow outdoes himself in this epic two-hour audio with a tale of betrayal, trust and lies.” – The Founding Fields

Angel Exterminatus by Graham McNeill – Dual Advance Review [Lord of the Night and Bane of Kings]

You may think you fully understand what is happening here. You don't.

Lord of the Night and Bane of Kings review the supremely enjoyable and depraved Angel Exterminatus by Graham McNeill, in it’s Collectors Hardback format.

“McNeill outdoes himself with a grand tale of a depraved madman, an unappreciated hero and lost cities and ancient demons. A must-read for any Heresy fan!” – Lord of the Night, The Founding Fields

A great entry to the Horus Heresy, masterfully written by one of Black Library’s Top Authors.” ~Bane of Kings, the Founding Fields

Horus Heresy: Fear to Tread by James Swallow – Dual Advance Review [Lord of the Night and Bane of Kings]

When you read the scene this depicts, you'll be on the edge of whatever your using to keep your body up.

Lord of the Night and Bane of Kings review the latest release in the epic Horus Heresy series, the exemplary Fear to Tread by James Swallow.

“Angels may fear to tread here, but James Swallow does not and has created a story worthy of joining the Black Libary’s best.” – Lord of the Night, The Founding Fields

“An epic tale that’s just what Blood Angels fans were waiting for. Explosive stuff.” -Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
