Another Black Library audiobook, this time detailing the Raven Guard trying to dispatch an invading Tyranid Swarm.Mann is the author of a few cracking pulpy steampunk books so it was interesting to see what he would do with space marines. It wasn't awful by a long shot but to be perfectly honest it wasn't too good either. I suppose the main problem with it was that it was a little cliched. It used all the same sort of overblown phrasing that usually appears - 'stentorian gaze', that sort of thing. I find it all a little forced and more than a little hackneyed. He'll be 'girding his loins' next.
Still it was big and violent and silly with lots of action and it helped make the drive back from dropping a friend off the other night a lot less arduous.
