As a librarian, I definitely think most 40K lit is at the level of middle-school or even high-school, but if he likes the game and its background he should do well with short stories or maybe the Cain books. Except that Cain has so very many references to things he may not be familiar with yet, so he won't get all the humor. If you're considering Flashman, also consider the same author's McAuslan stories, which are lighter and softer in comparison. A smart 10-year-old shouldn't have much problem. They're also reference-overdosed, though; it helps to have basic knowledge of Scotland and WWII.

Fire Caste, by Peter Fehervari... is the best BL book I've read in a long while.
North & South meets Apocalypse Now, with a few extras from Dallas thrown in there.

Relentless is a good insight into the Imperial Navy, as you get to see aspects of Navy life from every station, from the gangpressed crew all the way up to the captain's chair.
I actually really enjoyed the Ultramarines series, which actually kind of redeemed the smurfs in my eyes.
