Warrior Brood

There s always something important when it comes to writing for fictional universes Research No matter what it is, whether it be Marvel comics or a tv series which has just started you always take a look at the structure behind the events You study the basic principles of the universe, the laws and the histories behind the characters to minimalise your unfamiliarity contradicting something major The longer something had been running the time you spend looking into it.C.S Goto takes that rule an [...]

Just prior to reading Saturn Rukh, I found myself reading the antithesis of that fine novel s blend of plausible characterization and intriguing science Warrior Brood is the first novel in the Deathwatch series of adventures set in the Warhammer 40K universe I ve always been fascinated by the level of detail and chrome albeit, often twisted and deteriorating chrome in the Games Workshop universe, but I ve never quite immersed myself sufficiently in either the lore of Warhammer Fantasy or Warhamm [...]

lackluster opening gives way to an increasingly better story but it remained only partially realized and thus not a full success.

My son tells me that if I want a happy ending these are not the books to read.He s 100% correct No matter which Warhammer 40K book I read, a character I like dies or worse, is the bad guy at the end of the story This is such an anathema to most stories except Nicolas Sparks books that it takes some adjusting of the reader mindset After finishing a book, it usually takes me days to start reading the next title because I know the end will not be all butterflies and unicorns If these books went so [...]

CS Goto again delivers a mediocre novel with a rather bland take on the massive 40k universe It is good to know that Universal Cannon terminology is lost on him, to anyone not familiar with the Grim Darkness of the far future, it is an okay book To experienced neck beards, either don t waste your money or look for it in the bargain bins.

Pretty good novel that gives an insight into how a deatwatch space marine team operates Unfortunately it is oriented towards the politics between members of the inquisition rather than the fight against the tyrannids, which i personally think would be interesting.

Bookworm Speaks Warhammer 40,000Warrior Broodby C.S Goto The Story The world of Herodian IV is doomed when the nightmarish tyranid hive fleets descend from the depths of space, intent on devouring every living thing on the planet In the vital hours before the planet is lost, Inquisitor Kalypsia and a team of Deathwatch Space Marines are sent on a mission to investigate a vital research outpost The terrible secret they uncover could spell a fate worse than death for Kalypsia and her warriors mayb [...]

This is a good bad book The characters are one dimensional, the battle are flimsy and vague, the enemy is uninteresting and the plot predictable Yet it is set in the 40K universe which is one of the most interesting and fun fiction universes there is We follow the deeds of a couple of Space Marines Armies as they fight the Tyrannid, while learning a lot about their customs, traditions and way of life We follow them through the invasion of a fringe world, while they desperately try to recover som [...]

Others have lambasted this book in great detail for the things it gets wrong I ll simply say that the worst part of this book, for me, is that the basic plot structure Deathwatch investigates creepy lost outpost finds something worse than they bargained for is so friggin good not amazingly original, but damn I enjoy it that it s frustrating the book was so terrible Eminently readable, however.

Deathwatch Space Marines vs tyranids on Herodian IV.A cautionary tale on the consequences of not having someone watch the watchers.The high point of the story is when a rogue inquisitor gets fragged.

Terrible opening, terrible ending, clumsy writing, unsympathetic characters The only reason I finished this is because it was so short I ll be steering clear of Mr Goto in the future, though.

Death, destruction and blood.
