I love Dan Abnett's writing, and consider him to be the very best of the Black Library authors. That being said, I must confess that I find myself wondering how long Games Workshop is planning on stringing out this story.

For those not familiar with GW's Warhammer 40k series, the story of the Horus Heresy and the civil war is perhaps the greatest epic of the entire 40k universe: a terrible tragedy, and one that sets the stage for humanity's slow disintegration. I've read all of the books which serialize the Heresy with interest, and devoured this one within a day and a half. However, just like the infamous chinese meal which leaves you hungry half an hour later, I find myself wondering how long this project is going to take. It feels a bit stretched at the moment, despite Abnett's writing. Time to jazz things up a little, in my opinion.
