All is dust... Spurned by his former brothers and his father Magnus the Red, Ahriman is a wanderer, a sorcerer of Tzeentch whose actions condemned an entire Legion to an eternity of damnation. Once a vaunted servant of the Thousand Sons, he is now an outcast, a renegade who resides in the Eye of Terror. Ever scheming, he plots his return to power and the destruction of his enemies, an architect of fate and master of the warp.

    John French has now become my favorite 40k author ( sorry ADB ). John's ability to tie together the various threads of this character into an utterly believable whole is amazing. Rather than change established 40k "history", John built a solid house on it. A rare skill I wish more authors had. Every character in this book came alive with clear motivations and depth that only a book written by a skilled story teller can give. Can't wait until I see more like this.

    Made me interested in the character. It's a nice bridge between the various depictions of Ahriman. As usual in that universe, odds are it will all end badly, but never in a boring way.

    It is my first time reading a novel about the warhammer 40k universe and I have to say that it's fantastic!!!

    A great look at Ahriman, not as the super villain that the 40k universe birthed so many years ago, but much more a fallen angel in the same role he was given by McNiell in A Thousand Sons. The book is a great follow up to that novel as it tells the tale of the time between the heresy and his rise. He is a dynamic character with a lot of soul as are the characters he meets along the way.
