About this deal

To watch a man struggle with "faith" to be rewarded at the end after facing his biggest bit inevitably trial was wonderful if not sad to see him go. However, this didn't stop me from enjoying this well written story and once again, feeling the emotion on every page. br>
From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite’s Agentia Primus, Garro’s path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed.

DARK HORIZON, his new stand-alone thriller, is out now from Welbeck; OUTLAW, the 6th Marc Dane novel, is published by Bonnier, and the 4th book in the series - SHADOW - is available in the USA from Forge. Das Buch hat von der Schreibweise und Geschichte die Qualität die man von James swallow erwarten kann, sehr sehr gut, fast schon cineastisch. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. Nathaniel Garro, the loyalist who betrayed his father Mortarion to warn the Emperor of the horrors of Isstvan, is brought face to face with the hideously changed Primarch. Well-written and emotionally charged, Swallow presents another valuable moment in the Warhammer 30,000 lore, leaving enthusiasts discussing it for a long time.

As the epic battle for Terra rages and the future of mankind hangs in the balance, former Knight Errant Nathaniel Garro fights among the ashes and fire of the embattled Imperial Palace as the shadow of Horus Lupercal's triumph looms. James Swallow should be honoured, then, that his early-Heresy hero Nathaniel Garro is the one character to be granted his very own novella-length adventure just as the whole conflict is coming to a head.

James Swallow finishes what he started a decade and a half ago: the story of Death Guard Legionary Nathaniel Garro. As he struggles to protect Euphrati Keeler, the first Saint of the Imperial Church, from the horrors of this titanic war, Garro must face his greatest enemy - his father, Mortarion, his former master and the monstrous liege-lord of the traitorous Death Guard - in a final shattering confrontation. James Swallow doesn't disappoint, although there are considerable issues that shouldn't have been overlooked. It is clear how much James cares about the character and wants to give him both a grand ending while staying true to Garro's modest and stoic personality, which he achieves magnificently.The shorter format helped keep me engaged the whole time, with the focus of the story kept on Garro.

And then, with a final bellow of effort, Garro pulled himself up the blade of the scythe, forcing it through his torso, the razored tip bursting out of his back, all so he could bring himself closer. I appreciated him being able to talk briefly to Mortarion and putting a bow on the events of Isstvan. I don’t think it's exactly essential reading unless you really love this character arc, and it doesn’t offer up any big surprises or fundamentally change anything in the broader narrative of the Siege; if you haven’t particularly enjoyed this arc before then I don’t think it will change your opinion. This epic tale will be coming to you in special edition, hardback, eBook, and audiobook formats – and here’s what you can expect. Garro has previously been served really well by audio dramas, and this feels like it had it’s origins in that format- it’s a shame that BL have pivoted away from these.From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite's Agentia Primus, Garro's path has drawn him inexorably toward a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. Un buen libro con una historia sólida, con personajes queridos, sin tanto revuelo, grim dark en su máxima expresión, con una historia memorable y el lenguaje crudo pero elegante al que nos han acostumbrado.

voto 7, un capitolo non essenziale della saga ma per collezionismo e affetto per il personaggio non si poteva non prendere. He exemplifies everything "correct" about the ideal astartes, and it's hard not to root for him while he marches toward his inevitable fate as he challenges Mortarion to one final duel of blades and ideologies. Garro serves as a counter point to the journey of the death guard, an example of what they could have been. You could easily argue that, had the events of the Flight of the Eisenstein not happened all those years ago, Horus' plot would have succeeded and the traitor legions would have marched on to an easy victory.Written by James Swallow, Garro: Knight of Grey finds the embittered veteran drawn into conflict with his estranged father – the hideous Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of the Death Guard legion. James Swallow is the author of the Horus Heresy novels Fear to Tread and Nemesis, which both reached the New York Times bestseller lists. For Warhammer 40,000, he is best known for his four Blood Angels novels, the audio drama Heart of Rage, and his two Sisters of Battle novels. I think all the characters are done justice and show the great weight the war is putting on everyone. It seems there was a lack of coordination between James Swallow and Chris Wraight when writing their fights with Mortarion.
