Eisenhorn
In the grim far future, the Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down daemons, aliens and heretics with uncompromising ruthlessness.
Written by Gaunt’s Ghosts creator Dan Abnett, this volume charts the career of Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn as he changes from being a zealoyus upholder of the truth to collaborating with the very powers he once swore to destroy!
Part detective story, part interplanetary epic, Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus and the two linking stories are amongst the very best tales ever told by the Black Library.

Rated 5 out of 5 by burrek
By far the best black library offering in my opinion. I would compare it to Frank Herbert's Dune books in in complexity, intensity, and literary quality. This is not only a masterful WH40k book, and not only an outstanding sci-fi book, it is a fantastic novel. Very mature, exploring interesting themes deliberately, it makes for much more than just a good read. This book made me think about issues like justification, moral truth, duty. To anyone who is looking to meet the WH40k universe head on, not only as a background for cosmic battles, but a full fledged world I would recommend this book
eisenhorn trilogy and ravenor trilogy

Eisenhorn Trilogy
Rated 5 out of 5 by Josiah
Such an amazing read. To this day it is one of the few books I can read cover to cover. I'm normally very careful when it comes to books, i dont like to crease the spine or dog-ear the cover, but my copy of eisenhorn looks like it lost a fight with a lawnmower from the number of times i have read it!
Too bad I can't give it a 6

If you want to cut your teeth on the 40k universe and never look back, Eisenhorn will drag you along from the very first pages and never let you go. This novel is what opened my eyes to the grandeur and grit of the 40k franchise and since then it has been the measuring stick against which I hold all other books in the setting. There is only one Eisenhorn and you will never forget him.
