Fallen Angels (it's ok) December 29, 2009 D. Dass (London) It's ok bit slow and doesn't really gather much pace but does answer some interesting questions about the chapter but leaves other questions still unanswered so don't expect it to be the be all and end all. Worth a read for the chapter history but if your not interested in chapter lore then its no biggie.
fallen angels December 27, 2009 N. C. Kedney (uk) The book was very good and it gets into the history of the dark angels with alot more detail then other books have done it was a good read
Dark Angels in the Horus Heresy December 25, 2009 Mr. P. Wind (UK) The second Dark Angels book in the Horus Heresey series continues at a good pace, never flagging keeping you entertained right to the end of the book.
Adding To Others Reviews August 17, 2009 JD Draycott (Nottingham) Well I'm not going to retread other user's reviews, simply add to them to hopefully help others out.
Fallen Angels is another fine addition to this amazing series, there is far far more to it than what most people say BUT you have to really know and remember all that has gone before.
Take this for example - by the final chapters Luther and others have comitted an outright act of rebellion against the Emperor, but in the text and from how they act, they don't even realise it, so badly warped are their views of what is happening.
There is also a lot of scene setting for future books in this story, with the Primarch of the Dark Angels, and hints at what will happen to Caliban, not to mention some amazing information on "Cypher" who has long been part of the 40K game Dark Angel background.
Fallen Angels really makes the reader question what the Dark Angels are.
Finally, touching on a comment made elsewhere about Mechanicum - do not let this put you off the book, Mechanicum is VITAL to the story and to the current 40K universe, it is abstract but the information is essential to understanding the current background story. Those unfamiliar with 40K won't get much from Mechanicum.
Roll on the Space Wolves/Thousand Sons stories!
fallen angels August 9, 2009 Mr. Michael L. Godwin 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
an excellent addition to the series but more answers are obiviously to come - flows on nicely from the descent of angels, keeping the main characters - the ending leaves you wanting to know more, especially where the loyalties of El Jonson lie - nothing is as simple and straightforward is it might seem - if you enjoy this I reccommend Legion by Dan Abnett where the motives and aspirations of the Alpha legion are equally suspect
