Gamertell Review: The Horus Heresy: Fulgrim by Graham McNeill

Title: The Horus Heresy: FulgrimAuthor: Graham McNeillPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: 2007Price: $7.99Rating: Two thumbs up, 90/100, B+, **** out of five.Pros: Quick pace, gives more explanation to different events, develops all major characters wonderfully, fixes most of the problems that popped up with False GodsCons: Some of the flaws from False Gods only to a lesser extent.Overall: It starts the latter half of the series so far with the same punch that Horus Rising had.

Fulgrim is the fifth book in the Horus Heresy series. It is also the second best book in the sci-fi adaptation of Paradise Lost.

Gamertell Review: The Horus Heresy: Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow

Title: Flight of the EisensteinAuthor: James SwallowPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: 2007Price: $7.99Rating: Two thumbs up, 90/100, B+, **** out of five.Pros: Quick pace with stronger writing than False Gods and Galaxy in Flames, gives a new view to the events of Horus’s betrayal, develops most of the major characters wonderfullyCons: The writing a bit awkward in some points. It could do a better job developing all of the major characters equally.Overall: It’s a good read. When the writing isn’t awkward it’s also a surprisingly quick read.

Flight of the Eisenstein is one of the better written parts of a truly epic series of game based fiction. Being the first book in The Horus Heresy that follows a legion other than Warmaster Horus Lupercal’s Luna Wolves, it is also one that manages to keep things fresh by adding a new perspective.
