Gamertell Review: The Horus Heresy: Battle for the Abyss by Ben Counter

Title: The Horus Heresy: Battle for the AbyssAuthor: Ben CounterPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: September 2008Price: $7.99Rating: One thumb up and one thumb sideways, 80/100, B-, *** out of five.Pros: It’s the first book that all events happen after Horus’s betrayal of the Imperium so it’s all new. The story never stops moving. The feel of the book is incredibly faithful to the feel of Dawn of War and Dark Heresy.Cons: Character development could be done better. It could also take more time to develop the events more.Overall: This book in a way is lackluster but it’s still pretty good and a lot of fun to read.

Battle for the Abyss in a way is an incredible installment of The Horus Heresy series. In other ways it could have been so much better.
