Dark Heresy, Book Two

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 30, 2009

Mordechai Horst is the leader of an Angelae team working for Inquisitor Carolus Finurbi of the Ordo Hereticus. His team consists of Keira Sythree, a Redemptionist assassin and scout, Danuld Drake, former Imperial Guard, Hybris Vex, a tech-priest, and a pilot named Barda. Vex holds an ancient artefact that somehow goes with a manuscript. They book passage to the Scintilla system via the Misericord, a Chartist ship considered to be a jinx. The ship will travel through the Warp, where date and time are meaningless. The manuscript is to be kept sealed within a cogitator case; however, when bold scavengers attempt to steal the group's luggage, the handcart ends up being lost. The group must use stealth as they search for the missing manuscript.

At the same time, another Inquisition group infiltrates a network of rogue psykers within the Scintilla system. The clues gathered by Inquisitor Grynner's people show that the two teams might be on the same trail. Danger surrounds them all and they must uncover what is going on before the entire Scintilla system is overrun by heretics with eldar and xenos weaponry.

**** FOUR STARS! If you have not read the previous title, Scourge the Heretic, I suggest you do so before you begin reading this book. However, should you decide not to, you will not find yourself totally lost. The author gives enough information to explain any vital past events to new readers. Horst's group receives the majority of attention. (I must admit that Keira, the assassin, quickly became my favorite character.) The end leaves a few loose threads dangling, yet I do not feel any frustration since the story stops at a terrific spot. It is enough to keep me watching for the next installment though. Sandy Mitchell writes space drama like no other! ****

A good follow-up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 16, 2012

Picking up from where the previous book 'Scourge the Heretic' left off, 'Innocence Proves Nothing' sees the Inquisitorial team known as the Angelae continue to investigate the wyrd smuggling operation as the train leads to the sector capital world of Scintilla. As the Sanctioned Psyker Elyra and the former Imperial Guardsman Kyrlock attempt to infiltrate the smugglers organization, the rest of the team follow on a passenger ship only to have their luggage stolen, forcing them to search for some very important items in the bowls of the ship. Things don't get any easier when the Angelae get to Scintilla as they discover that the conspiracy is far deeper and dangerous than they could have imagined.

'Innocence Proves Nothing' is a very entertaining book but it does seem to lack something that would make it a great book. The book is as well written as you would expect from a Sandy Mitchell book with some nice fight scenes and some good plot twists here and there. While some of the characters are still somewhat unoriginal, there is some development for the Redemptionist assassin Keira that works quite well. Although this book is a lot more serious than the Ciaphas Cain books by the same author, there are still some nice moments of comedy scattered throughout that break up the action. The ending is also left very open for another book in the series and I will be looking forward to reading that when it comes.

Overall 'Innocence Proves Nothing' is a very good book that was easy to read but still seems to be missing something. As such I feel a rating of around four stars would be appropriate.

Hard work

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 8, 2010

I love Sandy Mitchells work with the Caphias Cain novels and really enjoyed the first book in this series Scourge the Heretic but Innocence Proves Nothing turned out to be quite a let down. A lot of the book is wasted on meaningless, low grade adventures during the space flight between two systems, and when it does liven up at the end you still find yourself thinking was the rest of it really worth reading??

I'm sure the next and possibly final book of the series will be better but this one is simply not up to the standards that would make a great trilogy.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2016

This book, and the one that came before it, are good books. I think that someone without a real understanding of Warhammer 40k would still find them enjoyable stories. And someone with a real love of the 40k universe would love it.

The books are about the retinue of an Inquisitor. The books are supposed to a means of promoting the 40k RPG Dark Heresy. It does an excellent job of showing the various members of the retinue performing their duties. The two books are basically about one really long investigation into a situation that the Inquisition is trying to get to the bottom of. It makes for an excellent story as well as an inspiration if someone wanted to use it to weave their own story for a game. However, you definately don't need the RPG to enjoy the books.

Spoiler

My one real beef with the book is that this book ends without completing the entire story. I'm not sure if this is intended to leave it open to the reader, if it is intended to be used as a starting point for a game master to run their own campaign, or if there was originally supposed to be a third book to make a trilogy and for whatever reason it never happened. This book wraps up the specific plot of this story, but the overall plot is left open. And since this book is based on the RPG, I thought it would've been kind of cool to perhaps see the character sheets of the heroes and villains (not a usual thing for a book, but would've been interesting in this particular case)
