Hereticus

2002Dan Abnett

4.7/5

Abnett went and saved the best for last. Hereticus contained everything I loved about the first two books in the trilogy but added a surprisingly emotional element to the story. I won't get into exactly what caused me feel all those emotions it would be too spoiler-ry but let me just tell you there were parts of this that were like a punch in the gut. Maybe it is because I read all three books in a row, as well as two short stories, and my attachment to the characters was sky high but goddamn some of the scenes impacted me in ways I was totally not expecting. The action was still incredible and impressive with the opening scene versus the Battle Titan taking a large portion of the cake, and the I loved how this was like a who's who of the previous books that brought almost everyone who wasn't dead yet together for a planet hopping, out of the blue backstabbing, wild and crazy, gigantic in scope, breathtaking adventure. Half of me wishes while reading these books now, knowing they have been out for as long as they have, that I had a time machine so I could go back and read these as they were released, because damn I have been missing out, while the other half is just as excited to know there are so many stories to explore in the Warhammer universe and there are so many others to choose from. I am impressed beyond measure by the quality of these books and cannot recommend them enough and though I am definitely going to be reading more in this universe (I've already bought another of the omnibus editions to read) this trilogy will always be remembered fondly because it is where my journey with Warhammer began. Bravo Mr. Abnett you have earned my respect.
