DarkCreed, July 18 2010
This review is from: Dark Creed (Mass Market Paperback)
Well written and masterfully developed book. Unfornunately, its the last in the series and struggles to live up to DARK APOSTLE. Would NOT reccomend starting at the end, too many parts of the story are missing for them to make sense. Provides a thrilling conclusion to the Word Bearer triolgy

Book 3 of the Word Bearers series., Dec 29 2009
This review is from: Dark Creed (Mass Market Paperback)
Dark Apostle Marduk of the 34th is about to face some mighty challenges. The Word Bearers are to wage war with the White Consuls Space Marine Chapter. Marduk has secured the xenos device, called the Nexus Arrangement, in his possession. The powerful necron device can turn the tide in the Word Bearers' favor. It will shroud the entire region, ensuring that no further warp-traffic can enter or exit the Boros Gate. With the White Consuls unable to receive help, the XVII Legion can easily corrupt the system. It would not be long before Boros Prime, the core planet in the system, would fall.
The Chaos Space Marines have disunity within their ranks and exterminating the Imperial vermin on Boros Prime turns out to be more difficult than expected. Chapter Master Titus Valens and Coadjutor Aquilius of the White Consuls are most worthy adversaries. But just as the White Consuls are on the verge of defeat, an old enemy returns which makes even Marduk's blood run cold.
**** FOUR STARS! If you have not read the first two books in this series, chances are great that you will find yourself at a grave disadvantage. Many characters, as well as a few items, link back to them. The beginning of this story starts out rather slowly as the author builds the cast of characters for his readers. The plot line builds at a good pace, separated into five book sections. Though Marduk is on the side of Chaos, I cannot help but admire his courage, intelligence and instincts. He is, after all, still Astartes. At the same time, I could not help but cheer Valens and Aquilius of the White Consuls.
Anthony Reynolds proves his ability to create dark, yet memorable, stories with this series. ****
