This one is introduction to new RTS “Dawn of War II” by THQ and Relic Entertainment. Novel sets ground for the events in the game – we follow The Fated, Blood Ravens company, from the point they land to recruit new members for their chapter through conflicts with Orcs and finally all-out engagement with Tyranid invasion fleet.

Interesting story, maybe slow at the beginning but as it progresses it gets more and more interesting.

Only thing that annoyed me was constant reminding of superior Space Marine physiology – I mean, it is certainly enough to say (once) that their X-organs are powerful to withstand extra poisonous strand from Tyranids etc. No need to repeat these facts every time they encounter enemy.

Recommended. ( )

A very action filled thrill ride with a new enemy around every corner. Their are a lot of surprises in the plot of the book. We also see the full fury of the Tyrainids in battle. As well as how primitive orks fight against the Imperium of Man.
