review 1: Dan Abnett might just be my favorite writer. I read Eisenhorn before this (I recommend anyone starting WH40k books start there as well) and I am just as impressed by Ravenor. Ravenor's another great addition to the Interrogator chronicals Dan Abnett has writeen for the WH40k universe. I liked Eisenhorn more, but Ravenor is still pretty damn good. Abnett takes us from world to world in pursuit of a brilliant heritic named Molotch. There's a definately a Sherlock Moriarty vibe going on, but it's so well done I didn't mind a bit. My only issue with Ravenor, and I think I had the same complaint with Eisenhorn, was the ending. Sure there was a huge confrontation (no spoilers) but the epilogue SUCKED. After almost 900 pages I really would have liked a little more follow ... moreup on these characters I've spent so much time with.Still, it's not that big a deal considering everything that led to the end. Great book, fantastic characters, epic settings and a few twists along the way. I enjoyed the ride.

I've said it before, but if anyone can take the unremittingly grim, guns-and-gore drenched building blocks of the Warhammer 40k world and create something worth reading out of it, it's Dan Abnett. Most 40k books I've come across have been stories of one dimensional warriors with huge guns fighting endless battles, but Abnett inserts two things often missing, plots and characters. The roster of characters in this trilogy actually feel like people, with all their strengths and weaknesses, and whereas I've seen some reviews that have bemoaned the slower sections, that mix of pace is actually to the story's benefit. That's not to say the book lacks the big guns, the gore or the 40k set pieces, but in crafting a decent story round them, Abnett makes them actually mean something. A masterclass in franchise fiction.
hello
Degno seguito/spin-off della trilogia di Eisenhorn di cui riprende tematiche e personaggi aggiungendo una maggiore dose di azione ed ironia.C'é giusto un enorme errore di continuity.. ma i non esperti dell'ambientazione di W40K non se ne accorgeranno nemmeno.La fantasia di Dan Abnett é inesauribile ed é diventato in poco tempo uno dei miei autori preferiti.La saga proseguirà presto con La trilogia di Bequin, Eisenhorn vs Ravenor! Non vedo l'ora. :)
