REVIEW:
The second book in the epic Tomes of the Fire Trilogy featuring the Salamander Astartes. Beautifully written, Nick brings the full scale war of attrition to the table as treachery, destiny and vengeance vie for dominance amongst this space marine chapter.
It’s dark, it is gory and above all else it is a story that will have fans clamouring for Nocturne (sadly currently scheduled for late 2011) sooner rather than later, as the Emperor looks on as the fates clash from all angles. Who will survive and triumph or if it’s going to be a phyrric victory we can’t guess, all we know is that Kyme plays for keeps and the cost will be high.
