Interesting story and twist( especially twist). Always liked authors view on the Warhammer in general, honestly sad that there's no continuation really interested if Occam got his answers.

Isn't cogent with other novels

The main characters are kind of Mary Sue's. There's just nothing they can't do with little issue. The events in the book do not match other works either.

SPOILERS!!

First off, A chaos space marine squad just walks into an Adeptus Ministorum Cardinal's throne room because they have a psyker casting an illusion. You can't tell me that such a powerful figure wouldn't have every kind of protection against witch craft. Maybe the alpha legion worked over generations to infiltrate those defenses, but it's never explained.

Secondly, a enemy previously killed just shows back up comic book style because the plot demanded it. Shoddy writing.

Thirdly, in another scene the main characters are trapped by several squads of grey knights with two nemesis dreadknights. One half squad with one dreadknight defeated and banished Kugath Plaguefather, the most powerful great unclean one. Those squads and the two Dreadknights couldn't beat one bloodthirster. A couple of chaos space marines were even killing Grey Knight Paladins in hand to hand. It's just lazy writing.

Kurzweilig

Typisch Warhammer und erwartungsgemäß Alpha Legion. Tod, Verrat und Zerstörung am laufenden Band.
Macht auf jeden Fall Neugier auf den weiteren Verlauf der Geschichte.
Wer übersichtliche Darstellung erwartet wird enttäuscht, Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf den Charakteren. Man muss sich seine eigene Zeit-Leiste denken während Teile des Wer Was und Warum enthüllt werden.

I was really looking forward to reading about the Alpha Legion, and this book did deliver a good story about them, I just felt that something was missing. If you have read Legion then you will know what I mean.

An enjoyable foray into the psyche of the Alpha Legion - but as you would expect, it leaves you with more questions than answers...

Eine Geschichte über die Alpha Legion ohne einen Alphalegionär! Wait whaaaat? Es sind nicht die Greatest Hits der Alpha Legion aus der Horus Heresy, dennoch hat es Spaß gemacht zu lesen, wie Occam und sein Team eine Extraktionsmission nach der anderen hingelegt. Für Word Bearers Fans ist der Gastauftritt jener ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Ein gelungener Start für Occam's Herausfroderung die Wahrheit aufzudecken.

A ‘Safe Place’ to leave your parcel??

The item(s) in the package we’re fine on opening, BUT, I would appreciate if your couriers would not leave the parcels in what they considered a ‘good’ place. They left it in the FOOD WASTE BIN!! There was waste in it! Are they for real!! You may want to have a word with your local courier service for this area. Not impressed! :(

Alpha Legion, nothing is as you expect it to be. This book kept me chained to its pages until the very end.
