I do not feel like this was the best way to handle the sequel to Deathwatch. Something was missing, too much going on at the same time. Not a bad book, but not a great one either, sorry. Thank you Net Galley and Black Library for accepting my request to read this ARC.

Dark, brutal, and utterly addictive. Parker has, once again, crafted a tale that is riddle with intrigue, suspense, and balls to the wall action and horror. I adored his first Death Watch book, and this one also lives up to the hype. Simply incredible.

Finally, the Deathwatch sequel! This has been long-awaited by fans of Deathwatch, including myself. Do not jump into reading this novel without reading the prequel first, as you will not understand wha it’s going on!
The Tau Empire has claimed a world that inhabits an Inquisitor that the Talon Squad wants. It’s up to the Deathwatch Space Marines to track down this inquisitor in hostile Tau territory.

I received this novel from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I am newcomer to the work of Warhammer 40K but having recently been sucked in by the Galaxy’s Edge series and on the advice of the fellow fans of that series these books come highly recommend, i totally agree with them, this book is brilliant, it’s grimdark meets military sci-fi in the best way possible, I have a lot of catching up to do with these books, wish me luck 😉

Talon Squad return to action, hutning for a missing inquisitor on a world that has been claimed by the T'au Empire – but has their quarry been taken, or defected to the Greater Good?
This has me going when I first looked at the book and I knew I just had to read it. It kept me on my toes the entire time as we dive deeper into the story and lore of warhammer 40000

Wonderful pacing and while as grimdark qs the best of them this feels more.personal and viceral . You see familiar faces with new depths to explore and find that you still want more
