Xenos

by Dan Abnett

The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold, Eisenhorn must gather allies – and enemies – to face a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

Xenos is a brilliant crazy full on insane ride that right from the start never lets up, setting up the Inquisition in much more detail and giving us an insight into their workings! At the same time introducing us to the characters of Eisenhorn, Alizebeth Benquin, Fishig who set off at a breakneck pace with Inquisition own band of Space Marines in toe! Eisenhorn works on all levels and will have you up late seeing where it will Go! This edition is neatly ilustrated from the start with great art that marries up neatly with the story and has anecdotes by Dan Abnett that really show the process of the book and what inspired it! Seat of the pants processing that matches the craziness of the book! Brace yourself from the start for a book that is full from the start of daring do, heroics, world building, cunning, old and new plots, humour, adventure and action! Brilliant and highly recommended! Crisp High Five! Get it when you can!
