Features & Highlights

  • The Indomitus Crusade begins!
  • For nearly ten years, the Indomitus Crusade has waged a war of defiance and reconquest in the war-torn Imperium. Attached to Crusade Fleet Quintus – dubbed the Cursed Fleet by many – the Ultramarines of the Ithraca’s Vengeance are drawn to a stricken world. With millions enslaved, a malign necron technology siphons the souls of the innocent and heralds the Silent Kingdom’s expansion. The Ultramarines face an impossible decision: mount a desperate last stand to destroy the Pariah Nexus, or break away and damn the entire sector to bring word of this ancient foe’s resurgence to the only being capable of halting it – the Lord Primarch Roboute Guilliman.

Skip it; boring, expensive, not worth it.

Boring, ***possible spoiler ahead*** took almost the whole novel to ramp up to the ending, and it wasn’t even that great.

Ultramarines characters were almost parody of Ultramarines, and Necron characters and story arcs are boring and almost farcical; are they the Skaven of the 41st millennium?

It wasn’t bad, but it certainly wasn’t what I was hoping for. I wouldn’t recommend spending full price on a hardcover. Skip this one.

Plenty of Ultramarine boasting

I have read several w40k books, and all of the Horus Heresey. This offering is not the worst, but nothing will surprise you. Much of the book is build-up and then the “climax” and conclusion seems confined to the last 30 pages. Gives a feeling of a decent story that lacked an ending until Black Library forced one- I’m always a bit sketchy about Ultramarines, they are either very cool, or horribly tedious, pedantic, and stuck on themselves....this offering is not of the cool sort. That being said, it’s bolter porn and a decent read. I just will never read it again nor recommend it unless whoever has a hardon for Ultramarines.

Good introduction into the Necron invasion of Imperial space.

The characters interact in a meaningful way. Its a fun read.

Nope.

Once again Thorpe leaves us hanging. I mean come on most of the actions and thoughts of the space marines you would expect from the imperial guard.
