6/27/2023 0 Comments Galaxy in Flames by Ben CounterI'm guessing that's a lack of the authorial skill necessary to write a convincing-sounding speech rather than Black Library's subtle comment on the simplifying effect religion can have on politics. "Oh what's up Sindermann?" "Nothin' man, just thinking a lot about all the events which brought us here, in minute fucking detail." Kyril used to be a master of rhetoric, now he talks like, well, a rhetard. Unlike with 'False Gods', the first few pages do have a fair amount of superfluous "IN CASE YOU JUST JOINED US" scene-setting and recapping. But you might not know that from reading the first few pages. Actually, reading this book, I'm forced to admin Ben is pretty fucking good. I'd like to apologise for saying that Ben Counter is Black Library's 'watchword for wack'. Ahh, me and Ben Counter, just totally on the same wavelength. stupidly, I seem to have forgotten that Part 1 of 'Galaxy In Flames' is called 'Long Knives'. In my 'False Gods' review I alluded to the Night Of The Long Knives. It takes us up to the finish of the Isstvan III virus bombing/massacre, and sets up the storylines of several Horus Heresy books that came next. 'Galaxy In Flames' closes the inaugural trilogy of the Horus Heresy series.
