CADIAN BLOOD – BOOK REVIEW – JAKE S.
“Makes you want to duck your head”-Dan Abnett
A book set into the far future. The Imperium of man rules the heavens with an iron fist. In a battle to reclaim one of their shrine worlds known as Kathur from the hands of Chaos the Imperium sends some of its most powerful Imperial Guard Regiments. One of those, and probably the most powerful, is the Cadian Shock troopers. With them and the many other armies with them there’s no way they can lose.
At first they are just dealing with a plague that causes people to become undead, nothing new on the Cadian front. But then Chaos Marines of the Death Guard Legion appear and it seems there is more to the shrine world then some holy relics and dead saints. But I’m not going to spoil what happens. If you wish to know you’ll just have to get the book and read it yourself.
For me it is a book worth reading. The author is new but damn did he make an entrance into the world of Warhammer 40k. This book was well written and exactly what I would expect from the Black Library books. Vivid, right to the point, comedic at times, and plenty of action. It feels like you’re in the book. It makes you want to come back for more.
In my expert opinion on these books I give it 8.5 out of 10. Remember to go to your nearest book store and purchase Cadian Blood by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
