pickThis is like HP Lovecraftian, sci-fi horror in a Dune type setting with a dash of Columbo (Eisenhorn wears a mac but it‘s leather and he doesn‘t say “Oh, just one more thing”). If you‘d never read the aforementioned works you might think this is highly original but it‘s not really. Don‘t get me wrong, it‘s cracking good fun but if this is Warhammer‘s most revered author, I doubt other books in the 40K cannon will be as entertaining. We shall see..
pickLoved it. Composed of novellas and short stories. Book 50. Only four more books until I reach the climax which is the Siege of Terra and the end of the Horus Heresy. What a ride.
pickFinished all four books about Eisenhorn! And I think the last one my has been my favorite. The character constellations are different and more complex and Eisenhorn isn't the almighty, all-knowing hero anymore. Rather, he's an old and broken man and I did not expect that. There are even some funny dialogs in this book. Funny? Eisenhorn? 😄
pickSome great short stories. Very enjoyable. And the Horus Heresy arc marches on.
pickReally fun book. Vulkan back in the fight for Terra. I really enjoyed it.
pickNope, I don't think Eisenhorn is a very charismatic or likable character (at least to me), but I still enjoyed this third book about him. Maybe I just like his taste in women? Because I really liked those. The story itself is nothing new in the Warhammer universe and therefore perfect background noise. There were some scenes that really captured me, so it's a Pick.
#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks
pickLot of battles which is fun. A little weird but still good.
So, my #BookSpin is Hereticus, volume 3 of Eisenhorn's adventures. And my #DoubleSpin is a tragic story, because I wanted to order volume 8 of the Dune series, which you see displayed in this picture, but the German edition is out of stock. And no used copy far and wide. So what am I going to do about my bookshelf?! I'm in shock right now.
