Set many thousand years outside of what we think of as the future, the world of Warhammer 40,000 sees humanity on its knees in a hopeless battle against evil forces and a multitude of alien races. The antithesis of other popular science fiction franchises, this Grimdark vision gives readers one of the grandest settings even conceived and a huge sandbox for story telling.Black Legion is Adam Dembski-Bowdens sequel to his classic The Talon of Horus novel, and sees Abaddon return from exile to unite Chaos Space Marine warbands, whatever the cost. Assembling a Traitor Legion force that could once again challenge the might of the Imperium, Ezekyle Abaddon turns to face his destiny. Wrestling with the temptations of the Chaos gods at ever hurdle, Abaddon has always been an interesting (if controversial) character and Black Legion is a great opportunity to see him shine.One of many books set in the 41st millennium, this novel is great for fans of the game, video games or avid readers in general. Equal parts Science fiction and fantasy, there is a very good reason that Warhammer 40,000 has been steadily gaining popularity with young and old since 1987.
