The 14th of the Warhammer Horus Heresy books.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one though truth be told this series has been great fun almost throughout. The only duff ones were the two Dark Angels ones, especially the first.
This was about the fall of the Word Bearer legion, written mostly from the perspective of a captain named Argel Tal. It had a nice balance of 40k style WAAAAAARGH! and some pretty solid story-telling. It was exciting when it needed to be and intriguing when that was called for. Plus, and this is a big plus, lot's of Custodes stuff which I love.
The writer has definitely got some chops. I'd not read much by him before. He's done 3 Night Lords 40k books which I'd not bothered with and an imperial guard book called 'Cadian Blood' which I've read but can't remember - not much of a recommendation really. This one was good though.
