Book Reviews of Horus Heresy: Battle for the Abyss (Warhammer 40,000 Novels: Horus Heresy)
Book Review: Horus Heresy, Book Eight
Summary: 5 Stars
The Warmaster's treachery is revealed. When Ultramarine Brother-captain Cestus believes (rightly) that a ship has been destroyed he commandeers "The Wrathful" from the Saturnine Fleet and leads his brothers into battle. By his side is Captain Brynngar Sturmdreng (Space Wolf Legion), Brother-captain Skraal (World Eaters Legion), and Brother-sergeant Mhotep (Thousand Suns Legion).
It is fast revealed that the Word Bearers are now in league with the warp. Fleet Captain Zadkiel and his fellow Word Bearers have a new ship named "Furious Abyss". The massive ship is more lethal than any before its time, sporting a deadly plasma lance.
The loyalist Astartes must track the Mechanicum ship through the warp, battling all sorts of warp-demons along the way, in hope of stopping the treasonous Word Bearers from destroying the Ultramarines' home world.
***** Though most of the focus is upon Ultramarine Cestus, I found that Brynngar of the Space Wolf Legion kept stealing the spot light. (For those of us gamers that play the online game "World of Warcraft" I can easily describe Brynngar as a [huge] Dwarf Paladin or Death Knight, complete with a mighty rune axe.) As for the character Rear Admiral Kaminska, who had her ship commandeered without notice or logical reason, the author did an excellent job portraying the right amount of annoyance and duty-bound loyalty. This is the second time Ben Counter has impressed me with his incredible writing talent in this series. BRAVO! *****
