In need of new books

I have only read two books of it and I was struggling to get through Horus Rising and The First Heretic was medium quality at best.

....LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!. Battle for the Abyss is BL's finest piece, C.S Goto is BL's best writer, Dark Eldar are kind and caring, Orks are intelligent and the Chaos Gods victory is not inevitable!.

MADNESS!

For shame, Pistols are a coward's weapon, Sabre or Rapier- those are the arms of a true Gentleman!

Or just get Lightning Claws and Power Fists and go nuts, thats what i'd do.

Legion is possibly the best HH novel I've read to date, so I will allow some latitude for that claim and Armour of Contempt is a fine novel truly in keeping with the Gaunts Ghosts standard but it is still no Sabbat Martyr (Corbec for the sweet balls of baby jesus!).

Ravenor Rogue is another fine novel I, again, begrudgingly admit that but I'm terribly sorry, and I hope you have a box of tissues ready, SM is untouchable except possibly by His Last Command.

The best HH novel ive read is The First Heretic followed closely by A Thousand Sons, after that its a tie between Dark Disciple and Soul Hunter for my favourites.

Colm Corbec is cool, but Lijah Cuu is cooler, sure as sure.

Even Dan-The Living God-Abnett isn't universally liked, personally I don't think Horus Rising was his finest hour either...it was obviously Sabbat Martyr which is without doubt the best BL book.

After seeing how many people like Battle for the Abyss the fact that we have someone on the opposite end of the HH appreciation scale doesn't surprise me.

Still shocking though.

But neither of those are his finest moment for me. For me Abnett's best book is Malleus then Xenos. Abnett's Inquisitors are the best.

The Bequin Trilogy is in the future, and if Cherubael doesn't return with his witty gruesome banter and longing for Eisenhorn's painful death then im going to go insane!
