Rated 4 out of 5 by Garrick
This is Swallows latest installment in the Blood Angels series. It is a very good book, but to properly enjoy it, you will need to read the books in series before it as it follows a well defined story arc. There were a couple of places that really stretched the bounds of believability. One example is Rafen fighting a titan sized Tyranid 500 feet underwater while mag-locked to a speeding submarine. I also took issue with an Imperial servant referring to the symbol of Chaos Undivided as the "Eight-fold Path". Aside from those two issues the book really takes you on a wild ride that in the end is impossible to put down. One thing I would like to add is that the events in this book are referenced in Swallows short story "The Returned" in "Legends of the Space Marines"
