3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing, April 29 2003
By Timothy A. Platt (Portal, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deathwing (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are interrested in Warhammer 40,000 and all its writtings this a must have book. But, there are several books that reprint short stories;mostly from the magazine "Inferno". This is'nt one of the best. The Title story, "Deathwing" is a good read. But, several stories were not as action packed or fast paced as other short stories about the warhammer 40,000 universe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Beats 40K, Aug 16 2002
This review is from: Deathwing (Mass Market Paperback)
With all the Black Library books of this type (mixed short stories), you get some stories you love and some you don't but Deathwing has been one of the best I've read to date. I enjoyed pretty much every story and even those I didn't care for were well written and admirable. As a fan of the Dark Angels, of which the Deathwing is part of, I somewhat wish the entire novel focused on the Dark Angel Chapter instead of including only a few stories on the subject. Although Deathwing is a group reprint of older 40K fiction, a new edition with some of the modern DA stories alongside original DA stories would have been a pleasant surprise. Even though I was disappointed with that aspect, I cannot hold it against the book. The reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the stories were lacking and seemed almost distant from the 40k universe most fans are used to. All and all an excellent read of die-hard fans and newcomers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark science fiction set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Jan 27 2002
By Par Larsson (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Deathwing (Mass Market Paperback)
Truly excellent dark science fiction/military fantasy in the Warhammer 40,000 universe franchised from the UK-based global phenomenon Games Workshop. The title refers to an elite group of near-immortal warriors, part of the Imperial Space Marine Legions who fight rebellion and alien encroachment within and without Mankind's farflung empire in a dark, distant and ruthless future, an empire held together by the will of a mysterious all-powerful Emperor, nearly insane from thousands of years straining to provide a guiding light for interstellar travel through warpspace. The meat of the novel is a gritty and explosive account of the return of Deathwing to their homeworld for recruitment, and the young warriors who aspire to walk among the stars with their ancestors, clad in powered armour and genetically modified for longevity and battle ability. Similarities to the excellent novels _Starship Troopers_ and _Armor_ abound, but for pure breadth and scope, WH40K can't be beat.
