5.0 out of 5 stars Something Very Original!, Nov 24 2002
By A. Vivolo (Orting, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eye of Terror (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great read. The story doesn't follow the Warhammer universe perfectly BUT it is Warhammer that is very original and very fun to read. It has more subtle depth then most Warhammer stories. If you aren't careful you'll miss the point that different people living their own lives totally seperate from each other can still effect each other and events around them through what seems like totally random action-with little nudges from Chaos and the Emperor that is. That gives it a random feel as though it is a bunch of short stories tossed together. However it all makes sense in the end if you are paying attention. Manipulations within manipulations. The author does a great job of living up to that.

5.0 out of 5 stars MIssunderstood, Feb 17 2002
This review is from: Eye of Terror (Mass Market Paperback)
Although the book did not follow all of the Warhammer 40,000 fiction exacly it was wonderful. The thing I liked about it is it's originality. This is the only Warhammer 40k book that has originality. It is the only warhammer 40k book that surprised me. I think that the view inside of the eye of terror that the author gives is amazing, and unique. All the little things that he mentiones, all the details, and the bizzare artefacts from there alone make the book worth reading. It is also one of the few Warhammer 40k books that show how evil, and vile chaos actually is, and at the same time why one might be tempted to give his soul to chaos.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slated for Inquistional Purge, Sep 14 2001
By Adrian A. Zollinger "aazollinger" (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eye of Terror (Mass Market Paperback)
While the author is able to present a somewhat cohesive story, he falls quite short of producing anything memorable. In most cases, science fiction writers have free reign to create or describe anything in thier imagination. Books written about established paradigm's, however must be written with care so that readers are not left with a bad taste in thier mouths. Unfortunately, other than using 40k familiar terms and names (locations, space marine legions etc) the author failed to do so in this book. Many of the key plot elements directly contradict the "Official" background and history as provided by Games Workshop. This wouldn't be so bad except that the reader finds himself saying "they would never do that." or "there's no way that could happen." the fact that the reader is talking to himself and not reading is always a bad sign. The plot itself is loose and you find yourself asking why the characters are doing what they are and why you continue to read about them. I found myself unable to support any of the characters or even realy care. I finished the novel only to see if it would ever turn around. Sadly, i was not suprised when it did not.
