Warriors of Ultramar, by Graham McNeil. SMurfs v. Tyranids. Very good. An excerpt from it can be found at the beginning of the Space Marine 'dex.

I've only read books involving marines mainly, and I can easily recommend;

False Gods
Horus Rising
Fulgrim
Flight of the Eisenstein
Galaxy in Flames
Legion
Lord of the Night
Soul Drinker Omnibus

I can quietly recommend, for a bit of fun, not to good but fairly entertaining:
Angels of Darkness
Ultramarine Omnibus

I would stay clear of:
Blood Angels Omnibus
Descent of Angels
Blood Raven omnibus

Legion is my favourite book so far, although there is a gnats whisker between all the heresy books up to now (apart from ...Angels, I haven't read ...Abyss yet, it's en route)
I really like the Soul Drinkers story as well, the Ultramarines one just seems a bit 'meh'.

I read the Blood Angels books omnibus in a couple of hours - once I started I had to finish it, but once I'd finished it I thought 'what a load of babba'. That is the single worst 40k related book I have read, and to say it's by the same guy who wrote Flight that is surprising.

The Ciaphas Cain series (one of the books features a necron tomb)

Nightbringer (suprise) Ultramarines Omnibus

Iron Snakes is a fantastic with a wonderful new Marines chapter that I think should get it's own codex.

Soul Drinkers Omnibus.

These are actually all the 40k books I've read and I've never been let down. Well...except for White Sky Black Sun...I didn't like that one.

Default

Gaunt's Ghosts series
Space Wolf series
Eisenhorn series
Ravenor series
Last Chancers omnibus
Horus Heresy series
Ultramarines series
Soul Drinkers series
15 Hours
Rogue Trader
Double Eagle


Short Story Books:

Crucible of War
Dark Imperium
Words of Blood
Deathwing

I own and have read all these books at least once....except for the Ghost series I've read that 3 or 4 times I can't remember anymore lol. IMO all of these books were a good read. I know you aren't suppose to judge a book by its cover....but that's how I do it when it comes to 40k and it seems to work. I think I've missed out on a couple of good ones but a lot of other ones I've heard weren't that great after I decided against reading them.
