Atlas Infernal
The story
Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak is a hunted man. Escaping from the Black Library of the eldar, Czevak steals the Atlas Infernal – a living map of the Webway. With this fabled artefact and his supreme intellect, Czevak foils the predations of the Harlequins sent to apprehend him and thwarts his enemies within the Inquisition who want to kill him. Czevak’s deadliest foe, however, is Ahriman – arch-sorcerer of the Thousand Sons. He desires the knowledge within the Black Library, knowledge that can exalt him to godhood, and is willing to destroy the inquisitor to obtain it. A desperate chase that will bend the fabric of reality ensues, where Czevak’s only hope of survival is to outwit the chosen of Tzeentch, Lord of Chaos and Architect of Fate. Failure is unconscionable, the very cost to the Imperium unimaginable.

Must finish book! Can't write review. But in all seriousness I read the extract and was hooked, i read the intro and i was now in thrall.
Inquisitor Czevak or Doctor Who?
Rated 3 out of 5 by John
It's obvious that this book was intended to give the 40K universe its own Doctor (of "Doctor Who" fame). Czevak is eccentric, brilliant, and possesses many of the same traits and habits of the aforementioned Doctor. If not for this obvious cribbing, this book would have been outstanding. Ahriman? Awesome - Sanders could not have made him more sinister and imposing. Czavak's companions? Amazing, albeit underused (especially Hessian and Torqhuil). It's Czevak that brings an otherwise superb story, wonderful plot, and engrossing settings down, which is a shame. 3 out of 5 (w/o Czevak: 4)

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lee
a very enjoyable read ,and was hard to put down once i got into it
By far one of the better Black Library novels out there
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rex
This was a great read from beginning to end. Well written, good plot and villains. Great action and intrigue. The only downside was the author seemed to love making up very long, elaborate names for places and things that were hard to wrap your head around let alone imagining saying them out loud. But a grat read over all.
bood read

i wonder if czevak is going to save girl he lusted after but could never be with? might make for a good story?
One of the best BL books ever published
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mark-Anthony
Honestly, I'm just amazed. The quality of the writing is superb, the characterisation of the places within the Eye of Terror, the fleshing out of the characters themselves, the way it is set with cantos and interregna. I read Redemption Corps and I loved it as well, but Atlas Infernal is something else entirely since it deals with 2 famous characters (Czevak & Ahriman) and explores parts of the 40K universe not yet explored. I like how Sanders came up with the names of places & characters. But I think he really brought Ahriman to life, I could almost feel the character glowing from the pages.

This was such a great read it was hard to put, it was great to have the focus of the story on just a few great characters rather than some huge conflict that you can lost in. The death of some of the characters really make the story great, I do hope that we see Czevak return in another book to continue his fight against chaos.
