Started listening to the first Eisenhorn novel and it is badass. 40k noir. Excellent.

I'll snag this later. The first one was a lot of fun.

Those are the only Warhammer 40K books I've read. I thought they were just okay, and everybody told me they were hands down the absolute best, so I never read further.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry.
Do they get really growelly Brits to do the readings?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think I'd be all-in on Dame Maggie Smith reading 40K novels, too.
Also, yes, I know that nobody asked for my opinion. Sorry about that. I'm trying to get better at that and obviously failed my save.
ReplyDeleteYes, growly Brits do the readings. Maggie Smith or Judy Dench would be great.
ReplyDeletePaul Vermeren you are a known curmudgeon. I forgive you.
Also, my taste in literature leaves much to be desired.
Casey G. Literature? Dude, I usually don't even like reading books without pictures, so you're doing better than I am.
ReplyDeleteI just listen now. If I read, I fall asleep.

ReplyDeleteIt's cool. Sometimes I think I'm 42, but I'm really 41.
ReplyDeletePaul Vermeren They aren't the best. I like Aaron Dembski-Bowden's books much more. The last two books he wrote (Talons of Horus and Black Legion) are quite good, but most everything is.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the first Eisenhorn book the most of that series, because it's written in this really pulpy way. Some of the later books lose that.
I'm 49 and reading just kills me every night. Doesn't mean I stay asleep tho!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of the Inquisitor novels as well as the Grey Knight books. They really take the lore, xenophobia, etc. and crank it up to 11.
ReplyDeleteI mean, Eisenhorn's partner dies, the chief gives him a badge, he gets a new local cop partner that he dislikes, and visits the morgue to chase down a lead all in the first couple chapters.
ReplyDeleteYeah man I love it. The opening of that book is so pulpy. I think the later books keep some of that, but I think even the writing in the first one feels pulpier too.
ReplyDeleteEisenhorn is great. Though I prefer the offshoot "Captain Pike but 40K" Ravenor.
ReplyDeleteOn the list, Lesser Jason.
ReplyDeleteJason Bossert or Prof X vs Magneto :p
ReplyDeleteCasey G. The only thing that doesn't fit is the fact that Eisenhorn outranks the chief :p
