Gods of Mars is the concluding volume of McNeill's "Adeptus Mechanicus" trilogy, resolving the problematic upshot of a galactic-peripheral quest for the "lost magos" Telok, whose apotheosis has made him a threat to the Terran Empire, the Eldar, and the universe itself. There are several plot turns, the introduction of a new villain or two, and openings for a sequel. "Hope" is a keynote of the mostly-tragic ending of this story, being the name of the Ark Mechanicus Speranza (the ancient flagship/forgeworld traveling on the quest), as well as a final realization of the Eldar farseer Bielanna. The book is very combat-heavy, which is par for the course in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, but it exceeds either of its predecessor volumes in this regard. I guess that's how you get a climax here. The trilogy as a whole was all right. I never resented reading it at all, but I find myself a bit relieved to get to the end and turn my attention to other things. I believe I've had my fill of WH40K novels for a while. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The final instalment of this sci-fi trilogy Beyond the edges of the galaxy, Archmagos Kotov's great voyage is over. He has achieved his goal - to find the resting place of the long-lost Vettius Telok. But Telok yet lives, and as the brave explorators of Kotov's fleet marvel at the wonders laid before them, darker plans unfold. As reality itself is threatened by impossible technologies from the dawn of time, it falls to a small group of heroes to thwart an insane plan that could see the entire universe annihilated.

The highlight of the book to me was the various protagonist groups battling the evil spawned Tindalosi. Reading this you could sense that many of the good characters in the book were about to perish. This was my first deeper exposure to the Eldar also, and I found them very mysterious and interesting characters. I also got my first real exposure to the Cadian shock troops, very interesting as well.
I am not rating this one as high as past WH40K efforts, due to how (unnecessarily) complex the novel was. It just didn't flow as well, but it was very enjoyable to read and dissect. ( )
