Space Marine is bad. It's not even funny in a campy or dated sort of way. crying  

[Vikki Stardust]

oh its so poetic when they fly up the a** of a big alien ship that had just farted. they are pretty hardcore with their brain eating tho. mrgreen

So I just finished Flesh and Iron. It thought over all it was an okay book. Had to do a bit of research though at the end because it does link to Emperor's Mercy and it has been a while since I've read it.

Very very curious to see what Mr. Zou does with this whole Bastion Stars thing, and wondering if the next book involves his Inquisitor again or if it'll focus on something else.



I also read "Chapter's Due". I thought it was risky because of what happens in it. A few times I asked myself. "Can he do that?" Thinkin about the author. However it was still a good read in the Ultramarines series.

Now to read read Rynn's World, A Thousand Sons and Redemption Corps, but not in any particular order.  

[Hoxtalicious]

Redemption Corps is a big cluttered mess so far, I'm having a hard time picking it up again. Flesh and Iron is also on my pile, I kinda dumped it after Zou turned Vultures into Valkyries again. His third novel will be about those Chaos marines.

Right now I'm reading "Call to Arms", having finished Hellsreach, Courage and Honour and trying to, but failing to make a dent in Titanicus.  

[Sir Kyle Aziz]

Is Helsreach good? I'm getting into the thick of Rynn's World and it's solid so far, but I can just feel the epic badness around each page lurking. Considering I know a bit about what happens already.

Yeah the Vulture Valkyrie thing messed me up too, atleast halfway through the novel they're not even mentioned again.

Hm I suppose it makes a bit of sense now. The Blood Gorgons seem like they will be a popular Traitor chapter.  

[Hoxtalicious]

Helsreach is a mixed bag really, I was expecting something a bit meaner. Don't get me wrong, a great read, but not as great as Soul Hunter or Cadian Blood, still a whole lot better than the other stuff out there.

I did get Sword of Justice, the book about Ludwig Schwarzhelm, along with a Terry Pratchett novel: Unseen Academicals.  

[Sir Kyle Aziz]

Lt. Brookman

Soul Hunter

This has to be the best book I've read in a long time. I am patiently awaiting another like it.

Hm, but as to the rest. Okie, I'll probobly still get Helsreach. It can't having more books in my library even if I don't like them.  

[Hoxtalicious]

Well, this August we're getting the audio book "Throne of Lies" and the next Night Lords novel will be released May 2011. crying

Oooh, August also gives us "Nemesis", a new Horus Heresy novel at last.  

[Sir Kyle Aziz]

The winter leaves me a bit excited! A Death Korps of Krieg book!  

[Hoxtalicious]

Dunno about that one, still need to read Ice Guard, which I've heard is rather substandard.  

[Jason Kharo]

HAH
1000th Post in the Black Library!
I <3 Daemon World again.  

[Sissy Fairy]

Hey has anyone finished the book Legacy yet? I've tried reading it soo many times, i'm having difficulty completing it, then again i do start reading something else after the first 3 chapters  

[Hoxtalicious]

Legacy is a fine read, a bit hard to get started with, something Farrer is known for. It is however a great improvement over Crossfire. Maybe I'll re-read them again this Summer, it's been a while since they were released.

@Jason: Daemon World is about the only Ben Counter novel I really enjoy, a fun read really before he become too much of a marine writer.  

[Jason Kharo]

Yeah I agree, although the Marines he mentions in Daemon World seem to be alright.
SPOILER


I'm just up to the bit where the Violators are about to try and take down the Daemon Price.  

[Hoxtalicious]

It has a great ending, I hope you agree with that when you get there.
