The Laughing One
I recently finished reading the Honor Harrington series, before that I read the Vorkosigan saga, before that the first ten books of The Destroyer series (even I can't read all 115 in one go ;-).
Thus without something to read, I looked at the Black Library books, mostly because of my renewed interest in the Warhammer Fantasy and 40,000 hobby. Some folks had some good things to say about the Horus Heresy series, so I started reading the first book "Horus Rising". And while the book portrays a much 'cleaner' Imperium (as opposed to the dark gothic feel of the current 40k), which in it self is entertaining and interesting. You get a good feel for the not so human Space Marine (Astartes), and there are some other things you recognize from the game universe. The only real problem with the book is that there's not much happening, I read the first third of the book, and nothing really exciting is happening. I'm thus curious if the rest of the book is equally uneventful (don't need to know the details).
I read the "Dawn of War" novel a few years ago, in my mind it was more exciting that the book I'm reading now. I also remember the Warhammer fantasy novels published in the 80s-90s, those I also remember fondly.
Does anyone have any advice on which Black Library books I would be a good read (an exciting read)?
