Nick Kyme, new master of Ultramar?
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doelago
With this novel, which serves as an excellent introduction to the 41st millenium, and "The Fall of Damnos", Nick Kyme is already challenging the position of master of the Ultramarines. The novel is amazing, and for such a low price it is a good book for any 40k fan, and a must buy for any Space Marines fan.
