Description

THE STORY
In the war-torn future of the 41st millenium, the Sabbat Worlds Crusade has begun. With the massed ranks of the Imperial Guard hard-pressed by the evil forces of Chaos, mankind must prevail - whatever the cost in lives. Commissar Ibram Gaunt has vowed to lead the men of the Tanith First-and-Only safely through the scheming of rival regiments just as much as the lethal firepower of the enemy.

    This is an amazing book for those that want to dip their toes into the deep space that is Warhammer 40k. The God Emperor approves this commissar and his beloved ghosts of Tanith.

    The Gaunt's Ghosts series is fast-paced and perfectly gritty. They represent the Warhammer 40,000 world brilliantly, and with no shortage of brutal military action.
  • Great Read!

    Dan Abnett has written an incredible amount of material for Black Library along with a great collection of comics. He has essentially set the stage for the 40K universe that is now considered canon for most readers. That being said I cannot recomend buying these books on iBooks. $12.00 for one storey when anyone could go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble and get the Omnibus which contains at least three to four novels for the series for less. Great novels just not worth the price being charged on iBooks

    Excellent start to an excellent series. For me this is the standard of scifi the way Lord of the Rings is for fantasy.
