Storm of Iron (A Warhammer 40, 000 Novel)

Storm of Iron is a wonderful, heart pounding fast paced action pack book.The point of view of the Chaos Marines are shown in this book, and unlike mindless butchers, they have goals, and some sort of ideals. The Iron Warriors are described in detail and it stays true to the fluff that they are first and foremost siege troops. On the imperial side tales of brave heroics echo threw the book as the imperials fight from one desperatatley hopless situaton to another. The charachters come out wonderfully and the writing is fluid. overall an excellent book to anyone's collection

First, Storm of Iron is very well written. It is consistent has great storyline and very few flaws, if just one that I recall. Like other reviewers said lots of violence and conflict, I add great character development and interactions with a plausible ending. Graham, you did a terrific job! Keep it up!

This short, quick read blew me away by delivering a war story of epic proportions. How such a colossal battle was shrunk into those few pages is beyond me! My favorite out of the black library books. A very fun, quick-paced novel that I found tremendously difficult to put down. Contains violence and destruction to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty reader, matched with an engaging plot. For anyone interested in the WH40K universe this book gets my highest recommendation.

McNeil is a very impressive writer. His descriptions of combat had me loving this book to no end. This is a story for those vile lovers of Chaos(I'm more of an Imperial guy). I highly recommend this book for Warhammer AND sci-fi/fantasy fans. The only change I would have made to this Warhammer 40k masterpiece is to rip out the last two pages and have an Inquisitor show up and calmly say, 'Exterminatus.' Otherwise, this book has everything you want from a 40k story. Imperial Fists, Chaos Marines, Warsmiths, mechanicus, and best of all TITANS. Sadly no inquisitor. You can't go wrong with this book.

This book was by far one of the best warhammer 40k books i have ever read. I just finished it two days ago and it only took me 3 to read. The gripping storyline is awsome. Its characters are well defined . The story is told through the perspective of not only the Guardsmen and Space Marines. But also from the Chaos Marines. The book had great plot twists with constant 'on the edge of your seat' battles. From the giant Titans to the lowly foot soldier, this book had it all. The ending of the book probably surprised me most as it does not turn out how most people would expect it. I will not reveal more but it is a must read for warhammer 40k fans and alike.
