This book is everything I have come to expect from the writing styles of Graham McNeill, a good read and riveting story, I can't wait till part two!
Needs to say "book one" on cover

I doubt the publishers meant it as a bait and switch but that's how it feels. Other than that, fans of Warhammer 40K will get more of what they like. Suffering, death and war but EPIC suffering, death and war.
would have given more stars if they had said it was a series.
Where's the rest of the story?

The description is misleading, as the story ends much sooner than hinted at. It should have been called "Priests of Mars: An Unresolved Road Trip". Very disappointing way to end an otherwise solid book.
Great potential unfulfilled

This was a good read, but there was virtually no resolution of any of the important conflicts. Last 30 pages was a real letdown.
Half a novel

A little bit too florid even for a warhammer 40k novel and not as tightly plotted as it could be. It's obviously only the first part of the series because it leaves so many questions unanswered and plot points unresolved but there's no indication of a second book. Reading it was a guilty pleasure because while it wasn't particularly exciting, it was entertaining in its grandiosity.
