This came much sooner then expected and in better condition then expected!

Una raccolta di racconti che spazia dal sito del massacro alla terra tutti di buona qualità, che ampliano le vicende dell'eresia fuori dalla storyline principale..livello più che buono , consigliato

It's got be good, my son has all of the books and he is particular.

Les compilations de plusieurs petites histoires amènent à la fois quelques pépites mais plus souvent de la lecture moyenne. Je préfère personnellement les vrais romans, ou l'auteur a plus de temps pour mettre en place les personnages.

To say that a couple of the stories in this collection are weak is an understatement.But don't worry about them because the real gem is Prince of Crows and that story takes up a third of the book and more than makes up for some of the weaker contributions.If you're a fan, as I am, of the Aaron Dembski-Bowden Night Lords novels this latest addition to the Night Lords canon will delight. The author has also given flesh and character to Sevatar, First Captain of the Night Lords well beyond the one dimensional honour or evil of loyal or traitor space marines sometimes found elsewhere. Some other reviewers have criticised the Sevatar characterisation, but it is in keeping with previous portrayals of the Night Lords. They are monsters, they are dark and cruel and most definitely villains, but they have that hint of nobility and a twisted honor and above all a dark sense of humour that makes them more realistic and more fun.Dembski-Bowdens' Sevatar is a great creation and I hope we see more of him in future Night Lord novels.If you are deliberating whether to buy this book please also ignore the carping from some reviewers about some things being physically impossible. The Warhammer universes are fantasy and when we are talking about starships kilometres long; daemons that transform planets; terminators teleporting from one star ship to another; and Primarchs that are near indestructible we are well beyond the normal laws of physics as we currently know them. It's all fantasy and its daft to let slavish adherence to physics ruin the fun of a good story.Prince of Crows takes up a third of the book so it really is worth accepting a couple of weak short stories to acquire this gem. You won't be disappointed by Prince of Crows or Sevatar and this is another Aaron Dembski-Bowden/Night Lords triumph that leaves you wanting more.
