Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Descent of Angels by Mitchel Scanlon

Descent of Angels

Mitchel Scanlon

2.5 out of 5 stars


The next instalment in the ground-breaking Horus Heresy series, telling the tale of the civil war that nearly tore the human Imperium apart, ten thousand years ago. The novel explores the dark and mysterious history of the Dark Angels Legion and their Primarch Lion ElJonson.

When the Imperial fleet rediscovers the planet Caliban, the Emperor is reunited with his missing son the Primarch Lion ElJonson. As Dark Angels old and new join the Great Crusade, a chain of events is set in motion that will change Caliban, its people, and the Legion forever.

Set in a period far preceeding the other books, this establishes alot of backstory for what I can only assume, and vaguely remember, will be core to plot lines in the future.

I would say this was the weakest so far, but still easily readable.
