A landmark book in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Abnett's focus for the novel is espionage rather than mass combat. Legion takes the reader deep into the murky world of Imperial intelligence and reveals details about the hidden war of subversion that has no respect for the battle lines of the Great Crusade. Similar to the authors Inquisitor novels, Legion expands the Warhammer 40,000 universe by showing the agenda and machinations of individuals who cannot be easily categorised by the Imperial truth of Loyalist, Traitor, Xenos and Mutant. This book forces the reader to ask many questions from ‘how far does loyalty go?’ to ‘what can one man do to change the fate of the galaxy?’ When the action reaches its conclusion we are left to mull over the consequences of the primarch Alpharius’s secret and the realization that our perception of humanities role in the galaxy will be forever changed. A fantastic read.   hide
