Eeeh, thats why im not really into most Black Library 40K books, and why i rather like Ciaphas Cain. Theyre all usually.. superdark. Which, i appreciate, is REALLY fitting for the 40K universe, but after the horrible mess that was Fire Warrior i got rather sick of. For some reason i dont like battle scenes in books, especially firefights, as they can be pretty confusing and end up as what we like to call clusterf*cks. Im aware that Fire Warrior wasnt particularly well written, and that it didnt help that it was written AFTER the game but the broody drama and slowly growing insanity, chaos corruption and shellshock the character went through, while fairly dark,was pretty overwhelimg at times. I like to read books to relax, not to get myself ready to jump off a bridge.
Mind you, a 40K novel is pretty much garenteed to have at least a spoonful of darkness =P The Warhammer Galaxy is not a nice place, after all. Its just, Ciaphas is lighter on it than most books in the Black Library. Heh.
Mind you, i rather like the Warhammer Fantasy books. More room to maneuvre there, i suppose. Tales From The 10 Tailed Cat and Tales Of The Old World are particularly good for people who prefer their heros with bows and swords rather than boltguns and.. uh.. chainswords.
