Marc Collins liked Mikael's review of Eidolon: The Auric Hammer: The Horus Heresy Series: "I've never liked Eidolon but this book delves into the dichotomy of the demon and the human part of the traitors faith as it is. It is also full of Slaanesh weirdness which is a plus."

Marc Collins liked David Strašák's review of Eidolon: The Auric Hammer (The Horus Heresy: Characters): "An interesting book about a really flawed main character with lots of interesting twists. At first it was a slog with introducing all the characters of the third legion, but in the second chapter the book picks up and is crazy and interesting to read." Read more of this review »
