Unsung Heroes
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bas
Amazing, the book really describes what a single space marine is capable of. You get to learn alot more about the workings of their wargear, and a fresh perspective from a different chapter. The book is a great read from start to finish, a must have for any space marine fan.
Underrated
Rated 4 out of 5 by Javier
It´s hard to find information about this book, which has been somehow forgotten, clouded by the sagas of more famous chapters. It´s a different point of view from a different chapter, one few people know about. It´s quite good too. Dan Abnett is a really good writer and he knows what he is writing about. A good reading for any space marine fan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by udontwannaknow
I have read this book twice now and I think I can read it again and will probably enjoy it the third time. It takes space marines from single battles to full chapter at war and lends so many different perspectives. Its simply an awesome read and probably one of the best 40k novels out there. It paints vivid scenes of battles against a bunch of enemies of the imperious...MUST READ!
SNAKE!!

Amongst my favourite Warhammer(40k or otherwise) books! More please! The Snakes of Ithaca Omnibus would be VERY high on my to-buy list! Bonus points for the bronze-age greek theme!
