Ok i just finished decsent of angels, and i am confused. why is the ending a cliff hanger, and why was there barely anything detailing the dark angels shamed past. Is there going to a second book or has Black library also been poisoned by Gav Thropes evil intent to destroy everything good about 40k.:rofl

The whole book seemed to scream sequel to me. It gave hints on what could have caused the fall, such as the shadow beings warning but... I believe that all the second book will be is unhappy Angels B&Ming about being sent home and falling to the corruption that the shadow beings were trying to conceal.

The ending... was lame. I do not understand why the Lion sent the main character (I can't remember his name) home. I don't get it... I don't understand it, think its lame. The guy was his NUMBER ONE FREAKING SUPPORTER! Even Luther realized his error and attempted to correct it.

But what if luther and the guys sent back to caliban are the good guys, and the lion was secretly currupted by the chaos on Sharosh, and the lion tries to fraim them and then the loyal dark angles are actually the bad guys and luther gets framed and thats thier terrrible secret! those are my conspiracy theories.:C

i wonder what the sequal will be called. Accent of angles maybe :D

Yeah, it was very lame ! I hated the ending. Evidently the Lion was'nt too bright according to DoA. I hate the fact that the Lion sends home the 2 guys responsible for saving him. Also, the book was very slow in developing then when action finally occurs it is rushed through and you are left with the feeling of ...THAT's IT ??? I loved the Heresy series til I hit that book.

Here's the thing- the Fallen Angles didn't really reveal themselves until the rest of the chapter had come home, so to jump straight to that would have put the book chronologically out of sequence with the rest of the series. I can't remember though- Did the Lion return to Caliban after the defeat of Horus or on his way to Terra? He doesn't seem to turn up at the battle for the emperor's palace (due being caught up at Caliban) but the sequence is important. If he got delayed on the way to Terra is there any indication he'd chosen a faction to support? Had he opted to join Horus but arrived late enough to see the tide turn?



Oh- and no, the Emperor is very rarely quoted directly, in the same way (and I don't mean to offend anyone) that they Bible never actually quotes God- we just learn what he 'said'. If the guy is an infallible being then his dialogue could never be scripted by someone who is fallible. See?
