Eisenhorn Omnibus


I'm reading this and it's amazing. If any of you ever have the chance, check it out. It's set in the Warhammer 40k universe, and is centered around the title character, who is an Imperial Inquisitor.

I had never read any of Dan Abnett's work until David let me borrow this collection, but he balances his characters well and the narrative and dialogue are superb. After reading the introduction by the author, I had some doubts, as he mentioned the stories were written in 1st person. Though that's not a style I generally care for, I find myself getting swept up in the story and thoughts of the Inquisitor.

I'm about half-way through, but I still highly recommend this. It's a solid read, fast-paced and fun.
