Chaos Marines are rather disturbing folks and the most disturbing Chaos Marines Legion is of course the Night Lords Legion. I wonder who ever,I mean ever(!!) thought up this guys to be good-guys (a any point in W40K time-line ) is beyond me.
Using techniques and methods that are horrendous this Legion is the only Traitor Legion that lives with Chaos in some weird sort of symbiosis (never truly succumbing to it) and has extremely low opinion of and holds some very very very bad feelings towards the Emperor.
Throughout this rather bloody and grim SF horror tale we get the glimpse of Night Lords' heritage, main characters doubts and fears and end up (at least I do for quite some time after reading W40K novels) with questions - what truly is show more the goal of the Emperor, is it possible that he-who-knows-oh-so-much just wasn't able to predict how his sons (Primarchs) will behave? Also are all the Traitor Primarchs truly traitors or...?
Very interesting book (if you like SF horror stories you'll like this one even if you are not into W40K lore).
