Summary: Abnett Does It Again
Comment: I read "Xenos" and it was great. It set a high standard for the remaining books in the trilogy, but Abnett did it again. Absolutely loved it. Rushed out to buy the third.
Rating: 4
Summary: Malleus, the second book of the Eisenhorn trilogy
Comment: Malleus, the second book of the Eisenhorn trilogy, probably the best story to come out of WH40k so far. It's the story of the Inquisitor Eisenhorn and his staff. The book is rich, lavish and vivid in details, and it brings the book to a "reality feel" (and that's hard to do in a fiction). But I gave Malleus a 4 stars, since it is less detailed and the story is much to predicable compared the Xenos, maybe a little more time spent on it prior to release, would of solved that issue, and won it's 5th star, but sadly not. The book will please anyone from a new fan to a old WH40K expert. It should be noted that a minimum, or basic knowledge of the WH40K universe and the previous book Xenos is required for a full appreciation of this book.

Summary: Best so far from the Black Library...
Comment: This is by far the best book to come out of the Black Library. Mr. Abnett has crafted well a deep dissectomy into the life, personae and personal demons of an Imperial Inquisitor, arguably the most interesting phenomena in the WH40K setting. If only the battles of the first book had been less caricature-ish and some of the action in the third less idiotic, then the series as a whole would have earned a place among mainstream superlative science fiction, alongside Heinlein, Reynolds, et al.
As is, I will re-read these books, specifically the second, and skip the - even for the diehard WH40K fan - somewhat unrealistic battles and concentrate on the interplay b/n Eisenhorn, his two women, beloved Aemos and magnificent Cherubael. The relationship b/n the Inquisitor and his demons and memories are worthy of emulation, and the overall prose beats the [stuffing]... out of the Draco books. In short, Abnett's masterpiece.
