Long-time reader, first time commenter. ...Hi, Dan! <BR/><BR/>Long-time reader, first time commenter. I just wanted you to know I finished <I>Horus Rising</I> and just tore through it. It was a fantastic read. I've been reading BI's big 13th Black Crusade book, and it's fascinating to see how 10 centuries later everything's kind of gone horribly wrong. Not that even when the Emperor was around, things were particularly <I>nice</I>, but there was still a long way to fall.<BR/><BR/>I'm really looking forward to all the Heresy books, including <I>Legion</I> since I'm sure it will an awe-inspiring tale of Alpha Legion's Primarch, Braniac 5. <BR/><BR/>Also very much looking forward to Titanicus, and loving the heck out of Blood & Thunder. We need more Ork-based entertainment, says I!<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>MattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860143540955989132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-88233516079971342782008-01-01T23:21:00.000+00:002008-01-01T23:21:00.000+00:00B.P Steve....even in my broken, typo ridden englis...B.P Steve....even in my broken, typo ridden english?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-44502485482271209822008-01-01T22:18:00.000+00:002008-01-01T22:18:00.000+00:00Xhalax top questionXhalax top questionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-16720528313413819852008-01-01T20:23:00.000+00:002008-01-01T20:23:00.000+00:00A Happy New Year to all!Hi Jesse - always a pleasu...A Happy New Year to all!<BR/><BR/>Hi Jesse - always a pleasure to hear from you, and huge thanks for the Christmas e-mail, it was lovely.

I made it to lovely Tikrit, Iraq unscathed. I hope all is well with all of you and that your respective holidays and New Years were everthing you hoped they would be. <BR/><BR/>Dan, I ordered Only in Death from Amazon.com. It should be here in a week or so. I can't wait. <BR/><BR/>It's funny, Dan. This horrible place is what got me started on writing to you. You and Nik have since become great inspirations to me. I want you both to know how much I appreciate that. Do you remember my anecdotes about 'G'? He's here as well. On a different base, but here in-country. I should be seeing him in a few weeks. <BR/><BR/>I don't have long on the internet each night, so I'll close this.

I can't decide yet if I should rank it ahead, in line or a step after Necropolis. I doubt that anything can kick Eisenhorn from the top (well, at least as long you don't write another 1st-person Eisenhorn-story), but OiD is very near he top.<BR/><BR/>Ludd's going badass. Thats really hard. I think the regiment's more than respecting him in the future. He's not only hard as adamantium, but he thinks, and listens to the men. That's going to get the respect of the men.<BR/><BR/>"Sunny, some cloud" was the best in the complete book. I lay laughing for minutes and nearly had a heart-attack. :DPack_masterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355628815470895665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-32486821900068843652008-01-01T13:17:00.001+00:002008-01-01T13:17:00.001+00:00Oops.

I finished Only In Death a couple days ago, and not that I ever say that an Abnett book is bad--well, I think I said the ending to Ravenor Rogue was a little disappointing--but that was a great book. <BR/><BR/>SPOILERS.

The Armour of Contempt was great too, but there wasn't really a big battle for the ghosties.<BR/><BR/>-I'm going to have nightmares about the part with what's left of Soric, his handlers, and Hark. I got a very vivid picture of that in my head and it ain't pretty.<BR/><BR/>-Larkin's sniping while hearing Cuu, Mkoll being Mkoll again at the end (he's never going to die. never), Baskevyl's heroic's, and Daur's inspired defense of the gates stole the show. Loved seeing Rawne get his shot at command too.<BR/><BR/>This leaves the Ghosts in a weird place going forward, what with the extreme causalties...they're not much of a regiment anymore.<BR/><BR/>Can Gaunt <I>please</I> be able to shoot lasers out of his new eyes?Bodjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980237293921320056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-42552211674791680792007-12-31T20:01:00.000+00:002007-12-31T20:01:00.000+00:00Yeah, I've already read WWZ, quite good.
