Dark Heresy, Book Two,
By
This review is from: Innocence Proves Nothing (Mass Market Paperback)
Mordechai Horst is the leader of an Angelae team working for Inquisitor Carolus Finurbi of the Ordo Hereticus. His team consists of Keira Sythree, a Redemptionist assassin and scout, Danuld Drake, former Imperial Guard, Hybris Vex, a tech-priest, and a pilot named Barda. Vex holds an ancient artefact that somehow goes with a manuscript. They book passage to the Scintilla system via the Misericord, a Chartist ship considered to be a jinx. The ship will travel through the Warp, where date and time are meaningless. The manuscript is to be kept sealed within a cogitator case; however, when bold scavengers attempt to steal the group's luggage, the handcart ends up being lost. The group must use stealth as they search for the missing manuscript.At the same time, another Inquisition group infiltrates a network of rogue psykers within the Scintilla system. The clues gathered by Inquisitor Grynner's people show that the two teams might be on the same trail. Danger surrounds them all and they must uncover what is going on before the entire Scintilla system is overrun by heretics with eldar and xenos weaponry. **** FOUR STARS! If you have not read the previous title, Scourge the Heretic, I suggest you do so before you begin reading this book. However, should you decide not to, you will not find yourself totally lost. The author gives enough information to explain any vital past events to new readers. Horst's group receives the majority of attention. (I must admit that Keira, the assassin, quickly became my favorite character.) The end leaves a few loose threads dangling, yet I do not feel any frustration since the story stops at a terrific spot. It is enough to keep me watching for the next installment though. Sandy Mitchell writes space drama like no other! **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Exciting Sequel,
By Ursula K. Raphael "AstraDaemon, The Zombiephiles" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Innocence Proves Nothing (Mass Market Paperback)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
This book literally begins where Scourge the Heretic (Dark Heresy) left off, with the burning mansion on Sepheris Secundus. Tancred, Vogen and Drusus were late for the meeting of heretics, so they avoided capture. Tancred uses his powers as a psyker to find a starship to take them through the Warp.Meanwhile, techpriest Vex is studying the artifact and papers from the raid, hoping to uncover more clues. Drake, Keira and Horst try to plan a rendevous with Kyrlock and Elyra. The four team members board the Misericord to travel through the Warp to Hive Sibellus, where their luggage is immediately stolen, including the artifact and paperwork. While tracking down their missing property, they cross paths with trio of psykers, also hunting for the artifact. Kyrlock and Elyra are traveling through the Warp with the three young psykers they met in the first book: Zusen, Trosk and Ven. En route, the two undercover agents are offered a job with the Franchise. As they reach their destination, they have to improvise their mission plan without being able to consult the rest of the team. When Vex, Drake, Keira and Horst finally arrive at the Tricorn at Hive Sibellus, they receive a disturbing message from Inquisitor Carolus Finurbi, and go into hiding as their leader has, under "Special Circumstances." Inquisitor Grynner, monitoring the vox messages of Inquisitor Finurbi's team, instructs Pieter Quillem to assemble his own team: Rufio - feral offworlder, Malven - techpriest, Carys (only woman on team) - expert thief, and Arken - sanctioned psyker. Quillem's team, on Scintil VIII Void Station in the Scintilla System, try to unravel how mercenaries came into possession of Xenos technology. After their mission, Inquisitor Grynner decides that Order Hereticus needs help from Order Malleus. In this sequel, Kyrlock and Elyra's mission was given more story time than in the first book. Elyra has proven to be just as deadly and resourceful as Keira, without using her psyker power. It was also interesting to see how much both Kyrlock and Drake had changed from their days in the Imperial Guard, since being drafted by Inquisitor Finurbi. Horst and Vex, however, just can't seem to catch a break. The introduction of a new team, as well the third Inquisitor from the daemon-hunting order, added a new dimension to this thriller-mystery. If you're not sure you want to commit to the Dark Heresy series, but you love Warhammer 40K, I recommend Emperor's Mercy (Bastion Wars) by Henry Zou. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Better than the first one,
By Dr. Propaganda - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Innocence Proves Nothing (Mass Market Paperback)
Innocence Proves Nothing is the second book in the series, and is marginally better than it's predecessor, Scource the Heretic. Picking up where the first book left off, it continues the adventures of the Inquisitorial Acolytes pursuing a conspiracy in the Calixian Sector, supporting the Dark Heresey line of games and suppliments. Since the characters are already established there is no long lead up to the action, which was the real slow part of the first book. This one ends on a cliffhanger, so brace yourself for part three, which has yet to be announced.
