Review
For those who have yet to get used to 40K, Grey Knights are the elite of the elite. Space Marines who work for the Imperial Inquisition and whose sole purpose is destroying the daemon! The seers of the Imperium have been receiving dire warnings. A powerful daemon banished thousands of years ago is about to be summoned within the Trail of St. Evisser. It falls upon the Grey Knights to seek out and stop this from happening, but with few resources available, this will prove difficult.
The opening to this book is action-packed, full of gore, and, honestly, excellent. I had forgotten how intense 40k can be. Then from this, we enter an almost detective-style story, following a small team of Grey Knights attempting the impossible. To root out a cult hidden among millions of citizens over multiple planets. That has been planning a way for Thousands of years! This is a complex task and Counter conveys this perfectly.
There are surprising twists, and even though you may guess the correct answer, you will still be surprised by how they ultimately achieve their goal. The book is about 50 pages longer than it needs to be, as the author delves deep into the description, but as a fan of lore, this pleased me.
Give it a try. I am sure it will surprise you.
