Reviews

[Daniel Clarke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just a number of short stories, vary in the quality, not much honour in there truth be told so it seems the title is a bit of a misnomer.

Some were okay but feels just like a taster for you to buy other books, none of them are that impactful in their own right.

Don't waste your time or money, some stories are passable however there is no real honor here, hell the last one is just a teaser for another book.

Quite boring.

Black Library tend to release a short story anthology to coincide with each of their events. The 2014 Weekender was no different, with Honour of the Space Marines available, a six-story anthology featuring everyone’s favourite 41st-millennium super soldiers. As with the other ‘…of the Space Marines’ collections (except perhaps ‘Treacheries of…’) the title is a bit misleading, as this only loosely a themed anthology. It’s more about showing the next steps in story arcs that the authors are already known for, from long-established characters to newer, less familiar faces.
