5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, 7 Nov 2003
This review is from: Angels of Darkness (Warhammer 40, 000) (Paperback)
This book is a must have for anyone who likes the story part of Warhammer 40K. It's a tale of an Interrogator-Chaplain from the Dark Angels chapter named Boreas, while trying not to give too much away obviously it starts with his first interrogation a Fallen by the name of Astelan.

The book is split into 2 different time periods which are obviously connected but it doesn't become apparent until midway through.

Also it has a major plot twist which affects not only the book but the entire history of 40K. This is the main reason why i believe it is a must buy for anyone interested in the story line to the game. If you aren't then this book is still a great read i couldn't put it down so get it ordered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very informing, 28 Feb 2003
The book centres on a Dark Angels Interrogator Chaplain who doubts his faith in his chapter. After discovering the presence of "The Fallen" in the system he is posted in, he immediately launches a crusade to bring them to justice. Over the course of the book we are taken back to one of the Chaplains early interrogations, a man who was a previous Chapter commander during the Great Crusade. Here he divulges why it was he who started the civil war in the Dark Angels ranks, but not because he was disloyal, but because Lion El'Johnson, the Dark Angels Primarch, harbored a dark flaw that would bring his chapter to damnation. The book flicks back and forth in time, following the interrogation of the chapter commander as it proceeded and the crusade to hunt "The Fallen". Over the course of the book we find out the "truth" behind the Dark Angels long harbored secret.

A must have book for any follower of the Dark Angels, Space Marines, or anyone else interested in the history of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. A thoughrally entertaining and informing book. Stun your friends with your new found information about the Dark Angels, or just satisfy your own curiosity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping tale of the ages, 15 Aug 2008
By P. Stearman "Rhandolph" (Brighton, UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Angels of Darkness (Warhammer 40, 000) (Paperback)
I am glad a new edition has been released. I was very much disappointed after reading 'Descent of Angels' which seemed to promise answers to many of the questions about the Dark Angels history and origins, only to deliver very little in what was a very 'teen reading' novel... 'Angels of Darkness' puts all that right.

The story is a good blend of action and intrigue with the main characters being quite well fleshed out, even for space marines... the story flows well and I felt like I really wanted to get back to it. There a couple of real revelations and uncomfortable truths.. especially if you, like I am, are a fan of the Dark Angels you might find yourself also questioning your loyalty...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best W40K novel there is.
