Great book, well 3 great books actually. It took me a while to read because I'd set it aside to read other books, but I finally finished it tonight. The ending felt totally rushed and left me wanting. However, Dan Abnett did an excellent job weaving a tale about duty, honor, sacrifice, temptation, and near-damnation. He conveys the dark and depressing future of the Warhammer 40K universe excellently, and weaved together the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres the setting encompasses very well. I doubt I read this again, but I will certainly read more of Abnett's Warhammer 40K work.
