Eisenhorn (A Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus) Dan Abnett
Publisher:

Overall, I think the Eisenhorn novels are a good read, even for those who are not into Warhammer 40K. But I think this is more fun to recognize characters before Bequin does. I think the extreme time-jumps played a part in that. In the story, Eisenhorn makes "the sign of the eagle" in the same manner as a Catholic makes the sign of the cross. I would not recommend this Ominbus as an introduction to the Universe of 40k however, unless the idea of the Inquisition is especially appealing to the reader. Find a copy of the Eisenhorn Omnibus. It was a nice re-introduction into this world. Horus Rising was good, The Eisenhorn books do for the 40,000 universe what no one else has to date, and that's expand in ways I never thought possibleand I'm pretty solid on my geek 40k knowledge. Of the two, Eisenhorn is far better, it's not fair to say really, since it's really an omnibus packed with the original trilogy of novels, as well as some great, interconnecting short stories in between them, but I liked the overall style of this one more. I finished reading the entire Eisenhorn omnibus, which consists of Malleus and Hereticus as well as Xenos , which I already discussed. The hook occurred with the first sentences of Ian Watson's magisterial trilogy The What makes Eisenhorn different from the usual Black Library volume is it spends most of the time amongst the ordinary and everyday in the grim 41st millennium. I didn't like the later two books as much as I did the first one. I preserved my sanity by rediscovering Warhammer 40K, this time in the omnibus editions of the Black Library novels I found in the local Barnes & Noble.
