Bellarius sees if the Imperial Fists can be done justice in Seventh Retribution by Ben Counter.
“A tale of how ambition and concepts cannot drive forwards a story by themselves.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the debut novel from BL editor C Z Dunn, the first in a new series of Apocalypse-themed novels.
“A solid debut effort that offers some really cool moments, has Horus Heresy revelations aplenty, and shines the light on a lot of non-Space Marine characters for a change.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews David Annandale’s first full-length novel for Black Library’s Space Marine Battles series.
“One of those rare novels tackling a chapter of the Cursed Founding, The Death of Antagonis does well in serving as a vehicle to explore the Black Dragons and offer a great action treat, but fails to provide a wholly consistent plot.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the first Black Library novel by author/editor Guy Haley.
“Hopefully this is the start of a series of novels about some of the most potent weapons in the Imperial Guard. A recommended read.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk writes a beginner’s guide to the Warhammer 40,000 range of Black Library fiction, and takes a look at the various factions within the setting, giving an overall perspective over the entire setting.
“In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war, and these are its proponents. Whether you are looking for tales of the average soldier, or genetically modified special forces, or aliens of all sorts, these novels are a good stepping stone into this all-inclusive setting.” ~Shadowhawk
Shadowhawk reviews the latest Space Marine Battles novel by Black Library.
“Grim, brutal, and clinical, Siege of Castellax is an excellent representation of the Iron Warriors and of Warhammer 40,000.” ~The Founding Fields
Black Library serves up another winner with Garro: Swords of Truth by James Swallow with an exciting story written in a spectacular fashion, reviewed by Djinn24, Commissar Ploss and Bane of Kings.
“My favorite audio drama from Black Library yet, James Swallow at his best with Garro: Sword of Truth ~Djinn24, The Founding Fields
“A fascinating post-Istvaan interlude of Terran-based awesomeness. James Swallow delivers an action-packed story!” ~ Commissar Ploss, The Founding Fields
Bellarius takes a look at the first installment of the recently ended Path of the Eldar series by Gav Thorpe and published by Black Library.
“Falls short of the tale Eldar fans deserved.” – The Founding Fields
