Best book since the first Horus rising books.

I had high hopes for this book. I am an avid 40k reader and field chaos on the tabletop as well. While a fairly well-written book, the story is just...poor. The minor characters are more interesting then the main characters, the story itself doesn't mesh at all with previous black legion or heresy lore, and the great Abaddon vs Horus showdown that the book leads up to is the biggest disappointment of all. It's like an alternate version of events where suddenly Abaddon becomes a father figure to all the lonely traitors in the eye, easily manhandles and kills the greatest primarch (reborn) to have ever lived, and suddenly the Black Legion starts out as if it's a big family of brothers just looking for a purpose in the galaxy, as opposed to the battle hardened long war veterans led by the tyrannical, tainted former First Captain consumed by hatred. I may have been more receptive to the plot if all of the main points didn't murder well established lore and cast Abaddon into something he has never been. Just my opinions, though. Entertaining at times, but very disappointing overall.

It was good, but definitely not what I expected for the price, or from this author. I'm a huge Aaron Dembski-Bowden fan, but this was not on par with his usual work. The main character felt very "Mary-Sue"-ish and is just the best at everything.

Are you freaking kidding me? $23 for a novel? Read it...basically, the writer took the character from the Horus heresy, wadded him up, and tossed him in the garbage. This new abbadon bears no resemblance to the previous abbadon. The plot line seemed rather convoluted and contrived as well.

It's an insult for you to save on production costs and make us pay for the agency fee that online distributors charge. I would assume (and maybe you should be open about the facts if my assumptions are incorrect) that these two balance out and we should pay store prices for an ebook version. This book is $5 more than the B&N or Amazon prices. As a reader I have to draw the line and not purchase this book.

24 bucks for a single Ebook. Would love to hear the reasoning

$23.99? ??? Will this book make me rich, handsome, and well liked? I doubt it. What makes you feel you are worth all that money?

Can't event attempt to justify the price of this. BL just lost another fan due to greed.

Is it interactive or something? This is as sad as seeing two copies of the same book at two different prices, one being "soft cover", the other being "hard cover".

My friends and I have been playing 40k miniature games since the late 80's. When the books came out it was so refreshing to read the tales , Dan and many others. At $23 for an e-book I have to Draw the line.
