Well, this was a wild ride. Only thing I will say is that after reading about the Alpha Legion I can say that Dark Angels are actually sane and very transparent military organization.

In this book we follow Solomon Akurra, leader of one of the Alpha Legion warbands and - following very deadly battle with newly deployed Primaris - newly appointed Harrowmaster. Selected to this role by a unanimous vote of Alpha Legion warbands, Solomon aims high - to re-establish the Alpha Legion in a way that will give them chance of not only waging war as guerillas but also to engage the Imperium forces directly on the battlefield.

On the other end we have Kayzen Hart, Inquisitor who dedicated his entire life hunting the Alpha Legion, and he aims to behead the Hydra in more ways than one. To achieve this, he will do whatever it takes.

In the background of this conflict, reader, same as every Imperium and to a degree Alpha Legion troop, will be driven crazy by the level of twists, plots, backstabbing, lies and maneuvers that at some point I was not sure if Alpha Legion was not just at war with Imperium but also with itself - for no other reason but because .... you know, it is what they do.

Witnessing this level of manipulations and lies it is clear why of all traitor legions, Alpha Legion, although never operated fully in the Eye of Terror like other traitors, never became the threat to the Imperium that it could be. But then again, Solomon only now showed up on the stage.

Where this will lead, I have no idea, because I am not sure how you can build anything in the atmosphere of total mistrust. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Recommended to fans of the Hydra and W40K in general. ( )
