Phalanx
The story
Phalanx, the great star fort of the Imperial Fists, is playing host to Space Marines from half a dozen Chapters, alongside Inquisitors, Sisters of Battle and agents of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They have come together to witness the end of a Space Marine Chapter, as the once-noble Soul Drinkers, now Chaos-tainted renegades and heretics, are put on trial for their crimes against the Imperium. But dark forces are stirring and even this gathering of might may not be enough to guard against the evil that is about to be unleashed...

Phalanx
Rated 4 out of 5 by Travis
The book is a treat to read as we once again follow the struggles of the Soul Drinkers against the forces that would wish their distruction. While this book was a treat to read, it lost a star due to the poor editing and spellchecking. The amount of Typos in the book was dissapointing.
Ok but felt compressed
Rated 3 out of 5 by Matthew
There was a lot of action, however the ending came quickly and left a lot of questions un-answered. It felt as if this book should have been broken down into two books, with he second book focusing on the ending. The ending itself felt massively anti climatic and was a little bit of a let down to finish the series off.

Nice but...
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andrzej
Ben Counter's story telling ability is truly stunning. The book is very enjoyable but there are some inconsistencies with the previous books. The conclusion of the Soul Drinkers story is not complete and gives a good start for another book. There are also many questions unanswered. There are some massive issues with editorial work here. Even if English is not my native language I was able to find a large number of typos in the ebook... . But well, I am not that picky. All in all very good read.
End to a great saga
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ben
Loved the book as well as the series. I loved how it ended. It was awesome to see the likes of other space marine chapters as well as the inquisition. Great work, Ben. I have a feeling the Soul Drinkers might pop up again.
