Soul Drinker

I love how the book goes, while the ending is interesting it was not how i hoped originally, but now i want to read the other books to find out exactly what happens. Pretty Shocking i thought, what they went through in detail. One not to be missed.

If you're interested in Warhammer 40,000 and the Black Library, the Soul Drinker series is definitely the one you must read! William King is great and Dan Abnett is also incredible, but Ben Counter rocks. I've read the complete Soul Drinker series (Three books so far)and his Grey Knights novel, which is also state of the art. The storyline of the Soul Drinkers is something completely new in the Warhammer 40k world. In the other series you learn about the adventures of superhuman Space Marines warriors, totally committed to the Human Empire and the Golden Throne. The Soul Drinkers are different, as they, after being betrayed by those they once served and protected, search for a better way to serve their Emperor, without obeying to a Human Empire which is completely corrupted in their minds. Not to tell too much, get the first book and drown in this marvellous story of Space Marines Chapter which is declared heretic by the Empire and hunted down all over the galaxy.

this book has a different view from the very beginning. no book has done what this book does. ben counter is a very talented writer and the twists and turns never end. all i can say is that if you are a fan of the warhammer galaxy then this book is a must. if you are new it is still a great book. so good i read it twice in 1 day.

Interested in space marines? Familiar with the 40K Universe? If so, this is a remarkable book. The book makes heavy use of the language and concepts described in other novels and the game books themselves, making this a poor choice for new players.INCREDIBLE story! Lots of twists and turns, very well imagined, constant action, interesting characters. You can tell from the writing that the author has a great passion for this story, and really enjoyed writing it.

This book is about the "Soul Drinkers" Space marine chapter. The story starts off w/ the Soul Drinkers assualting a space station run by rich & corrupt family; the Van Skorvolds. The reason for this assualt?? To recover a ancient artifact that had been stolen from the Soul Drinkers hundreds of years prior. But, the Imperium and Adeptus Mechanicus have other plans for the space station and the Soul Drinkers missing artifact, the Soul Spear. This throws the Soul Drinkers into a conflict with all they have ever known and with the Imperium, to which they have dedicted their lives to defending.This tale stretches from the battles on the Van Skorvolds space station to a Chaos rife world under the power of Nurgle; the God of Death and Decay. Don't over look this book. If you like the universe created by the folks at Games workshop and produced by their publishing company, The Black Library. You'll love this book!! There is also a second part to this book on the way, called "The Bleeding Chalice".
