i liked it. remember in every battle 15 million guard dont leave the battlefield. the bodies they can recover are put in body bags and shipped somewhere.
we cant always have happy endings.

I got it a while back. I did not find it to be the most spectacular peice of 40k lit i have read. I will not bore u with why i didnt like it. But i will recomend some other good 40k reads.
The Horus Heresy series- its fantastic and good if u are a nerd who likes 40k history like me ^^.
Ultramarines Omnibus- This is an awesome combination of 3 fantastic books. Its quite large but it was fully worth the read. I would recomend it. It has Chaos Worlds, Tyranid invasions.
The Cain series- good imperial guard stories.
The Soul Drinkers Omnibus- Another great 3 book combo, exelent stories. Rouge marines fighitng Adeptus Mechanicus, Other Marines, Worlds of demons.
I just bought 3 books to read while i am going to Israel. The Defenders of Ulthan, The Eldar book [forgot the name]. And another Horus Heresy book.
Also none 40k but still really good
The Halo Series [btw John=Spartan 117/Master Cheif]
The fall of Reach-Exelent book, Space battles with large cruisers, where john came from, Johns training and such. What John looks like. Before Covenant.
The flood-Halo 1 in book form, it also has a major part of the story highlighting the ODST's. its pretty good
First Strike- Good book wont spoil it. Just tryst me that its good.
The Ghosts of Onyx- Awesome book, not about John at all.

Dethklok to add to your Halo list you guys definitely need to check out Contact Harvest. Even if you dont like Halo its a pretty good read.
