   Excellent book well written covers many different marines both chaos and imperial. More insight into the Ultramarines and Storm of Iron books which is excellent for fans of those books other stories feature the Night Lords and a squad of Deathwatch marines chosen by the Inquisition for many top secret missions. There is another story that starts the epic of the Salamanders which is a good read. The short story way these tales of marines are told is an excellent way for lots of action, mystery and intrigue with no forced filter or extra crap. A great read for any fan of Warhammer 40K and the Space Marines.

   The idea behind the book is to have short stories cover the famous and infamous Astartes in short stories. The book is a must for people that wish to read the Ultramarines and Storm of Iron books. As well as the prequel for the Salamanders book.

   As has been stated it’s an up and down. The Sons of Malice story is great to see, and the pre-quel stories are a good edition. Personally I like anything that has Orks, although they need to win more often. I really like Graham Mcneill but I just can not get interested in the Honsou character. Storm of Iron is really good but these short stories he puts out are just boring, I can’t get drawn in. The Salamander tale is great from a less well-known legion. A good read and well worth the cover price, I look forward to the Sequel, “Legends of the Space Marines”.

   Recommended for anybody who enjoys space marines or would like to get to know these stalwart defenders and bitter villains.

   I could not give the book 5 stars because there were 2 stories I was not impressed with.
   But there were several stories I found to be some of the best short stories about the marines I have ever read. Not all of the stories had a good ending for the main character, and not all of the events in the book were as predictable as so many of the black library’s authors are prone to being. It had variety and some of the more enjoyable standard fare for a space marine yarn.

   I liked it, I will reread it, and I recommend it if you have the spare cash.

   Like any compelation, the stories are a mixed bag, some good, some not so good. My only real issue with the book is that 2/3s of the stories are about trator or renegade marines, not loyalist Space Marines. It might be splitting hairs, but to me Chaos Marines are different.
