 A brilliantly well written work by Dan Abnett. The continuing adventures of Gaunt's Ghosts as their unit in the ranks of the Imperial Guard rumbles through the chaos infested Sabbat Worlds crusade.

 Contains many short stories about many of the ghosts I once considered untouchable. How few remain now.

 Second book in the Gaunt's Ghosts military sci-fi series. It's really more of a collection of short stories that flesh out some of the characters rather than a fluid novel. Nonetheless, it's a good read as you learn more about the wide cast you met in the first book. Basically, this is the worst book in the series...and it's still pretty darn cool. First and Only should be read before this, however.

 I read this as a reccommendation, and it had two strikes going against before I even cracked it open: One, it was a Warhammer 40K novel, and I nver really linked into that universe as much as a lot of other fanboys did; and two, it was written by Dan Abnett, whose comic book work I had read before, and never liked. I've never been happier to admit I was COMPLETELY WRONG on both counts. Abnett is a MUCH better writer when he's doing it in prose, with a strong handle on imagry that's both brutal and poetic...and he adds depth to what is often portrayed as a simplistic, cartoony universe. So much so that it's not the Chaos Lords, melta guns or chainswords that stick with you, it's the valor of the soldiers. Fans of Sci-Fi/Fantasy, RPGs and military fiction should definitely give this series a try...and start with this one. It's the perfect Gaunts Ghosts primer, giving you all the info you need, as well as an origin. Thanks for proving me wrong, Dan! Now, write some better comics.
