REVIEW:
Dan Abnett is always an author who will turn up with an unexpected title. What he does extremely well is look into possibilities and then modifies them in such a way that they become not only believable but also engrossing. What happens in this, the latest title of Dan’s already varied catalogue, is a tale that takes the reader to a warzone through the use of technology. It’s tricky, it is bloody and above all else it’s a story of survival from the point of view of a character who really shouldn’t make it out of there alive. Add to this Dan’s unique authorly voice, great use of prose as well as pace and the reader has a real treat on their hands in this gripping and explosive story.
