 Written on April 26, 2006 Summary: I am the Hammer... This book is awesome. Good Points and Bad Points- Pros- Lots of action Lots of Grey Knights smiting daemons with riteous fury and vengeance Better than average plot The bad guys get just what they deserve Ending was awesome, if a bit Dues ex machina Cons- A little TOO much Smiting Hero is sometimes overshadowed by other characters- i.e. Tancred Written on March 20, 2006 Summary: By the Sword of Mandulis! Despite being 400+ pages, Grey Knights never got boring and was one of the most flowing novels I have ever read. To give you a brief synopsis, the book follows "Acting" Brother-Captain Alaric and three squads of Grey Knights as they attempt to stop the Demon Prince Ghargatuloth from being revived. Despite some other complaints I have heard, Counter provides a considerable amount of character development for Grey Knights and people around Alaric, especially Justicar Tancred who becomes Alaric's side-kick. For an action novel, the story is great and twistes in places I would have never thought. All in all this a worthy addition to anyone's library. Written on December 2, 2005 Summary: Elite marines in an elite book The Grey Knights have to be my favourite space marines (together with the Deathwatch, who are served so well by CS Goto). I love the idea of elite forces, and they don't come any more elite than the Grey Knights. Counter does a fantastic job of bringing them to life and placing them in a properly rendered (and suitably horrifying) universe. This is great stuff - if you're a 40K fan, you'll love this. Written on October 24, 2005 Summary: For the Emperor! "Grey Knights" starts with a bang and keeps the action coming. The story concerns the elite daemon-slayers of the Imperium, the Grey Knights Space Marine Chapter, and their race against time to stop the reincarnation of one of the most powerful daemon princes ever seen. The story is fairly straightforward, but takes a few twists and turns I didn't see coming. Justicar Alaric of the Grey Knights is an interesting character, and hopefully we'll see more of him in the future (a la Ragnar from the "Space Wolf" series). The fight scenes are tense and bloody, and Counter pulls no punches when it comes to character death and dismemberment. Make no mistake, every Imperial character in this story is put through the wringer and then some. If I have a criticism, it is that several of the supporting characters (mostly the Grey Knights themselves) are not given much character development until they're being eulogized by the author. I'd rather get to know and like the character BEFORE they meet their gruesome fate. Apart from that, "Grey Knights" is a great example of WH40K storytelling, and left me wanting more. What more can you ask for than that?  Written on August 4, 2005 Summary: Two and a half stars, really I played Warhammer 40,000 for a while as a teenager, but I was in my early twenties when a friend gave me a few of the Black Library books set in their universe. They range from dismal to well above-average; Grey Knights isn't their worst, but it isn't close to being their best. The main problem is: well, there's really not much of a *story* here. See the Space Marines, aren't they dedicated? See the Space Marines kick ass. See Chaos; aren't they evil? See Chaos suborn someone. See the Space Marines kick ass. See the demon: isn't it big? See the Space Marines kick its ass. See the Space Marines kick some more ass. Space Marines: They kick ass! It would have been a better book, really, if there'd been a character or two whose personality went a little deeper than "He kicks ass with swords" as opposed to "He kicks ass with guns." Oh, and one character kicks ass with psychic powers. I suppose he's the intellectual of the group. The plot is really just an excuse for moving from one fight to the next; on the other hand, it does do *that*. The fighting isn't done brilliantly, but it's not done too badly, either - and there's a lot of it. (Did I mention that the Space Marines kick a lot of ass in this book?) |
