Book Reviews of the The Ultramarines Omnibus (Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus)
Customer Review: a hard to pick up again book
Summary: 3 Stars
Well I was thinking it'll be like the Space Wolf collection. Lots of voice and characters in those. I picked up this book and it was, well, generic. This was basically how most Space Marine chapters operated, the characters were few and kinda similar and lacked individualism like the Space Wolf series. The storyline was good in general, I enjoyed the first book Harbinger but the other ones... I felt I had to finish reading or else it was a waste of money. Most of the time I sit and read books at Barnes and Nobles, but this one I bought since I enjoyed the last few W40k books i read.
There really isn't anything special about this book, not really too much about warriors and what not. I would recommend the Space Wolf Omnibus, it was an extremity of warrior code and that's what made them above human and, it can be said for this book but it showed more in the Space Wolf collection.
It maybe a book worth reading if you are fans of the Ultramarines but somethings in the book don't really make any sense, like Warriors of Ultramar, I still don't get why it's only a company, not even a quarter of the chapter that deploys, even with those ion warp storms and what not, but that's just me and maybe I didn't read thoroughly enough.
I would rate this book as 3/5 stars, covers the Warhammer 40k universe but other then that it wasn't really anything special, maybe it was an insight of the generic space marine chapters...
