The pacing at the end was weird but I really enjoyed this story, and thought it was a fine ending.

I thought this was really great. This is the final book in the trilogy for Eisenhorn, though the omnibus I'm reading has another full book in it, and its truly a great ending. Every little thing and mistake Eisenhorn has made throughout all the last two books come back and completely bites him in the ass in a way that feels very genuine and honest for what the consequences of messing with the warp should be. I really liked how it treats Eisenhorn truly coming into his own as a very extreme radical near the same as Quixos from the end of the last book in a way that feels really earned. Great book and ending.

Superb - great ending to a great trilogy. This is an excellent beginner set for anyone interested in getting into the W40K world.

Working on a more emotional description for a review: I read this for pleasure, and it hooked me. There aren't many plot twists and the character development isn't as deep (except for Gregor), but I still enjoy the action and the world-building.

Líbila se mi rychlost dění.
Líbil se mi způsob, jak si Abnett poradil s vykreslením bezútěšnosti universa 40k, hlavně když jakože stojíte na straně Imperia, protože to vždycky vypadá, že to je těžce na houby.
Líbilo se mi, jak hezky všechno v té knížce hoří.

Ale scéna s Titánem?

Ne-od-pu-sti-tel-ná.

Hereticus doesn't disappoint, it's the final book in this awesome trilogy and Dan Abnett saved the best for last.
It's emotional, fast paced and such an ending that made me audibly gasp. Absolutely fantastic.

MUST READ.

Very James Bond esque. A brilliant finale to a great trilogy. Eisenhorn really is the gold standard of 40K novels.
