review 1: Once again, I highly enjoy the short stories in this series, it forces them to get to the point and entertain you in only a few pages. Plus you get a good look at a wide variety of characters and settings, and in the the world of 40k there are A LOT of them. My only beef was with the first story, which frankly didn't get to the point. It was about a third of the book and was oddly out of place. The rest of the stories did all of the above. I especially like the last one "Prince of Crows", it could have been a full length novel in itself. More of that please.
review 2: "Shadows of Treachery is a compilation that collects five short stories by Series authors previously published in limited editions, art books, or other formats; it also contains two new novellas: ... moreone is mainly about an all-out close-quarters space battle, between an Imperial "Retribution Fleet" sent to punish Horus following the events of Isstvan III (Book 3) and the Traitor fleet that ambushes it; the other deals with the aftermath of another naval engagement in space that cripples the Traitor Night Lords Legion. The narratives of all stories fill gaps in the Series or add further details about the Heresy and its actors; they cover periods that range from several decades before the conflict to around the time frame of Book 18 (one short story is a prequel to that novel). Most of the stories involve the 7th or 8th Space Marine Legions, respectively the Imperial Fists and Night Lords, and their Primarchs Rogal Dorn and Konrad Curze. Other Legions and Primarchs are also featured, while one short story takes place on Mars and illuminates an aspect of the Traitor Mechanicum's conspiracy."Jago (Sevatar) Sevatarion is a BOSS!!!
