Summary
Siege of Terra Book 6
With the Lion's Gate space port taken by the enemy， Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars prepares a brazen gambit， but one of his former brothers rises to take up arms against him。
READ IT BECAUSE
The heroic and dynamic White Scars hurtle headlong into combat with the unyielding Death Guard。 As brother battles brother， the fate of Terra itself hangs in the balance。
THE STORY
The Inner Walls are breached。
Traitor vanguards tear towards the heart of the Palace， sensing victory。 Desperate gambits are attempted: an unwilling saint is released into the ruins， as well as an enthusiastic sinner。 A black sword rises， forged from spite， ready to create a legend。 But amid the slaughter， Jaghatai Khan， Warhawk of Chogoris， prepares to launch the most audacious strike of the conflict。 His goal is nothing less than the liberation of the Lion's Gate space port。 Cut off from any help， he stakes everything on one desperate counter-offensive， launched against an old enemy who has been made far greater than he ever was before。 As the White Scars ride out against the newly crowned lords of life and death， they know that defeat for them dooms not only the Legion， but Terra itself。

This is a disappointing book。 Chris Wraight who wrote the brilliant „Path of Heaven” did not manage to grasp the magic of that book again。 The whole legion feels slightly out of character here。Scars in the beginning of the book feel lifeless even when charging at the enemy。 Then they briefly change into Blood Angels and in the end they turn into Imperial Fists。 What happened to this Legion？ Loyalists' unconventional air support in Warhawk feels much more interesting than the charging Jetbikes of This is a disappointing book。 Chris Wraight who wrote the brilliant „Path of Heaven” did not manage to grasp the magic of that book again。 The whole legion feels slightly out of character here。Scars in the beginning of the book feel lifeless even when charging at the enemy。 Then they briefly change into Blood Angels and in the end they turn into Imperial Fists。 What happened to this Legion？ Loyalists' unconventional air support in Warhawk feels much more interesting than the charging Jetbikes of the Ordu。 The long awaited duel between the Primarchs （shown on the cover） seems too long and less interestingly crafted than a brief encounter of the Khan with a Death Guard Leviathan dreadnought （which was awesome， yet OP on the Khan’s side）。Other characters like Valdor also feel off。 After writing the Valdor novel Wraight should be able to do something more with the Emperor's #1 Custodian。 The mortal soldiers feel like 40k Imperial Guard rather than 30k Imperial Army。 Sigismund & Euphrati Keeler have a much better showing in "Warhawk" - we discover the genesis of the "skulls everywhere" phenomenon of the 40k architecture。 The perpetual arc here is not as good as in "Saturnine" or "Mortis"。 And I expected more for the Death Guard from the author of "The Lords of Silence"。There are a lot of awesome "inbetween" descriptions in this book: the infrastructure， the wastelands， the carnage & destruction but the main parts of Warhawk feel lackluster。 Please do better in book 7 ADB。 。。。more

Quite possibly Wraight's finest work to date。 He does a great job of making the reader feel the soul crushing despondency of the situation。 The weight on Dorn's shoulders is at once both human and post-human， yet understandable。 This pairs well with the Warp-inspired hubris which the Death Guard are feeling， to make all the characters on both sides feel very real。 Another high point is tying off one of the eye-rolling loose ends in the ghastly and ill-conceived Perpetuals storyline in a way whic Quite possibly Wraight's finest work to date。 He does a great job of making the reader feel the soul crushing despondency of the situation。 The weight on Dorn's shoulders is at once both human and post-human， yet understandable。 This pairs well with the Warp-inspired hubris which the Death Guard are feeling， to make all the characters on both sides feel very real。 Another high point is tying off one of the eye-rolling loose ends in the ghastly and ill-conceived Perpetuals storyline in a way which quite improves [the surviving character involved]。 However， it's not all perfect， as while the action is for the most part wonderfully vivid， there are three or four points where the prose becomes excessively florid。 Not to great detriment， but at least to the point of wanting to just get on with the scene at hand。 As a late/middle chapter of the larger story， the book itself carries it's arc nobly， but feels almost let down by previous entries， through no fault on either side， not having bridged the gap for one or two characters。 Where they seeds had been sown， and now we're seeing the correct conclusion， but not the intermediate steps to fully justify it。Overall a great read， and hopefully Chris will get another entry before the series wraps up entirely。 。。。more
