As I read more of the Warhammer 40,000 universe I begin to believe that if you are not a fan of the rich environment that has built up around the table top battle game, then these book will probably leave you scratching your head in bewilderment.

As a fan of Warhammer 40k its a great read, seeing the Grey Knights fighting their way through the enemies of chaos and a number of tricks set up by the main "bad guy" in this story.

As with most of the Warhammer books theres mighty battle after mighty battle, a tried and tested formulae which feeds the interest in the table top game of the same name.

If you haven't read this, its the first in the "Grey Knights" series, so a good place to start - however the almost predictable way the story played out merely satisfied the desire for an action book without having anything truly unique or imaginative about it. ( )

On the planet Khorion IX, daemonhunter Mandulis of the Grey Knights is locked in a titanic battle with the daemon prince Ghargatuloth. In a fight that costs his life, Mandulis manages to banish the foul daemon back to the warp for a thousand years.

A millennium later, Justicar Alaric of the Grey Knights is recuperating after bringing the renegade Inquisitor Valinov to justice. Amongst the artifacts recovered is the sacred Book of Days, which tells of the imminent return of Ghargatuloth. Leading an elite tem of Grey Knights, Alaric must uncover the fanatical cults paving the way for the foul daemon's return. But with time running out, the daemonhunters must unlock the secret that will again banish the dreaded Ghargatuloth! ( )
