The Monthly 40k Book Club!

[Silver Wings]

Suffering somewhat from being from a game.....

I read the book in a constant state of cringe, ow ow ow. Please stop despoiling 40K with your killing corridors full of Storm Troopers n.p, making SM shoot each other and other things.

The writing style was ok, but content wise...

[Xerxes]

I'd personally like to shy away from anything that portrays Space Marines as main characters, unless the writer has VERY good credentials. SM aren't meant to be related to, or have emotions, or be in any way emotionally/motivationally human. I don't want that fantastic image of psychopathic warrior-monks despoiled.

Note: Complete BL newbie, only ready First & Only and Ghostmaker. Both of which I loved.

Hello everyone, and now since we have a book club, I just want to recommend the following books.

Fifteen Hours by Mitchel Scanlon, the main reason is it's the closest book out there that shows how a simple guardsman's life is and how short a life can be.
.

This book is another one like alot and i like the way the life of a guardsmen is shown to the readers.

I forgot to mention the Tanith Series. Then again, I don't know who wouldn't like 'em. That's just my thoughts.

personally I love the GG books. And as to some sugestions for books to read. Right now im reading Ragnars Claw and just finished Grey hunter last night.
Now I for one have never really liked the Space Wolves the idea of space norsemen never really appealed to me. BUT...... after reading Grey Hunter I was actually impressed with Bill Kings writing and his depectoin of Blackmane. especially the way he depicted the good natured bantering between BM and his friend Sven. After reading that I realized one thing the SW are all have the british humour (or maybe thats just Bill Kings personally comming out ) anyways I thought they where alright.

Another book I just finished was traitor General. I thought it was a damn good book as it showed the afterefects of a chaos invasion and what it does to your mind and soul. One I would recomend to anyone who enjoys the GG books.

I agree with FGMike here on Traitor General, just wait though till ya start reading His Last Command, it's a piece of art that will give you a true love/hate relationship with the Commissars.

the inquisition war was a pretty good book and also kill team because it had tau, you dont see much in 40k novels.

[Odysseus]

I recommend we do something nice and simple for starters, something everyone's read or can read very quickly.

[Ickebeebon]

I would like to suggest the Last Chancers series. Mostly considering i just bought the omnibus edition 2 days ago and its easy for me to access. But if that wont fly i also suggest 15 hours and Grey Knights. (Both of which i already own)
