Summary: I hope this is not the last ...
Comment: Dan Abnett is an exceptional writer. I have read 'Xenos' and now, all of the Gaunts Ghosts novels. They are all very entertaining and engaging stories. I agree with other reviewers about the limit imposed by the publishers regarding the length of these novels. I would appreciate an increase of their page total, if only to have more to read! When I begin each novel in the series, I am faced with a conundrum. I want to read it so much, I cannot put it down, and I want to savor each paragragh, yet know that before I know it I will come to the Epilogue and it will be over all-too-quickly. That is the typical experience when you read an Abnett novel. It's like a fine dessert. You dive into it with relish and consume each morsel with gusto and when finished, you lament the fact that there is no more. I fervently hope there will be another novel to further chronicle the adventures of the Tanith First-And-Only. It would be a shame to end their story now. I would (and most likely will) read the entire series again if left with nothing else; the series is so good. If you are unfamiliar with the history of the characters in this particular book, it will not take anything away from your enjoyment or appreciation of the story. Each book in the series is comprehensive enough to stand on its own without any problem. If anything, those of you who are introduced to Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his 'Ghosts' in this novel, will undoubtably be driven to acquire the previous novels. I began with 'The Guns of Tanith', which is the 5th installment and went back and read 'The First And Only' so I could see where it all began. In 'Sabbat Martyr', you will experience plenty of detailed accounts of close quarter fighting, naval engagements in the vaccuum of space, and the exhilarating examples of heroism, tenacity, and outright carnage that is inherent in any war. If I could use a tangible reference for what this series compares to, I would use the HBO miniseries, 'Band of Brothers' to illustrate the literary quality of this body of work. You will grow to know and care for each of the signature characters within the regiment. Each of you will have a different person or persons that will draw your attention and further your interest. From 'The First And Only' up to 'Sabbat Martyr', you will follow the progression of these individuals and mourn their falls or celebrate their triumphs. Finally, if Dan Abnett never comes out with another installment, you will most likely envision their potential future and where they ultimately finish up. Either way, this book and those preceding it are well worth your time.

Summary: Does this guy ever miss?
Comment: Another entertaining romp through the grim WH40K universe hosted by our favorite Imperial Guard company, Gaunt's Ghosts. The epic Sabbat Crusades war reaches a pivotal turning point on the insignificant planet of Herodor. The story describes an important battle in Imperial history, and has fun doing it! True to his usual form, Dan Abnett keeps good pace, engages your interest in the characters, and describes a well-imagined setting.
