Betrayer is the finest novel in the Black Library Catalogue.
I've yet to identify the flaw in Abnett's writing. He will have one, but I'm able to enjoy his writing much more so than any other writer in the Black Library (with the exception of Gordon Rennies Gothic War, and maybe a select few of CL Werner which are roughly equal novels, but neither author consistently to the same level).
