Product Description

Product Description

The noble Ultramarines epitomise the Space Marines, the genetically enhanced warriors who protect the Imperium from its foes. Newly returned from the Eye of Terror, Captain Uriel Ventris must redeem himself in the eyes of his battle-brothers, who fear he may have been tainted by Chaos. When the planet Pavonis is invaded by tau, what better opportunity could Uriel have to join his Chapter in combat and prove that his honour is beyond reproach?

1.0 out of 5 stars Frankly awful, 30 May 2009
By S. Barrington (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Courage and Honour (Ultramarines) (Hardcover)
I consider myself a fan of the warhammer 40k universe, mostly the background. I gave up tabletop a while ago as it became so incredibly expensive.
I have read many books from the black library and consider Graham McNeil to have some writing ability, but he is so infuriatingly hit and miss.
I'm not sure why i have persevered with this series as it is only getting worse. The cliches and repetition are used to ever greater effect in this book, and it had me cringing on a regular basis. Overuse of "of course you are right, i am just concerned for this world" blah blah when discussing how best to defeat the tau is just one example.
The frequent contridictions of uriel and his fellow space marines is ever-present, as they somehow manage to have kindness and love in there hearts whilst being brutal killers. The ending was predictable and one passage near the end when uriel and friends charged to capture the Ethereal nearly had me throwing the book across the room it was so bad.

Sadly Mr McNeil seems determined to continue the awful, cliched writing style of this series. Suffice to say, i will not continue to read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Fun, 26 July 2009
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Courage and Honour (Ultramarines) (Hardcover)
The Ultramarines return in an epic battle against the Tau as our favourite warrior seeks to regain his place in the brotherhood after years away on his Deathquest. Good fun, hard battle and above all a tale to bring the Astartes back to the forefront of many readers minds. Honour is hard earned on the battlefield with friendship and duty weighing heavily on each warriors mind as they seek to earn their laurels as well as save the one of the Emperors worlds from the dreaded Tau civilisation. Cracking read and definitely something that will have many repainting their current army with battle honours either for or against these heroic (or villainous if you prefer) warriors of mankind.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been better, 18 Jun 2009
By Ryan Smith (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Courage and Honour (Ultramarines) (Hardcover)
I am still having slightly mixed feelings about the book, on the one hand parts of it were as great as ever, on the other hand it felt like it was lacking.

I think for me the book possibly could have been better served with more flashbacks and less interaction with what I thought were relatively unimportant characters. While I did enjoy seeing what Sharben and Mederic(?) and others were up to, I was rather more interested in what happened with Ventris and Pasanius when they got back to the chapter. While it was interesting in the beginning, it felt a little rushed through and sidelined for this fight against the Tau, which itself could have been more or less sidelined as nothing more than a minor incusion.

Pasanius particularly felt sidelined when he had become such an integral character. It would have been interesting to see what his actual punishment was like for him and how he dealt with it. That being said a very much enjoyed Learchus and Uriel laying it all out on the table as to how they all feel about each other, but also that Learchus finally understood why Uriel ended up where he did. He should be a great character in the next book. Though I must say the ending was very omnious indeed, so many possibilities, though I think I could have a fairly good guess at what the next book will be about.
