I'm feeling a bit tired of the Heresy era right now. And I'm also currently playing Rogue Trader, which takes place in the 41st millennium. So I decided to switch to some novels from that era for the time being.
User Profile
Computer nerd getting back into the habit of curling up with a good book he so fondly remembers from ages past.
My interests range relatively widely, from history (both, books about history and history novels) over military SciFi to Fantasy to all kinds of technical books.
I prefer long-running series or large universes with dozens of books when it comes to my fiction reading.
My all-time favourites: - David Weber's Honorverse. Far and away the best military SciFi out there - Rebecca Gable's Waringham series

Another Good book on Go webdev
5 stars
Another great book by Alex Edwards. Like "Let's Go", it shows concepts of web development with Go by slowly implementing an app throughout the book. In contrast to "Let's Go", the focus is on a JSON API instead of a web app this time.

Michael reviewed Legion (The Horus Heresy, #7) by Dan Abnett
Another good book, introducing more of the Imperial Army
3 stars
Another solid book, although I must admit I'm never a fan of plots, schemes and other assorted cloak-and-dagger stuff. But in this book, the reader is rewarded with a new (for the Heresy books) point of view, namely the Imperial Army. Most of the protagonists in this book aren't Astartes, they're human soldiers of the army, and the leader gets a glimpse into their lives.
And while I don't like cloak-and-dagger too much, I can appreciate what the author did here: The Alpha legion is supposed to be very clandestine and secretive. Introducing them not from the PoV of one of their captains but from the PoV of external observers, namely the army, allows the author to keep this aura of secrecy intact. It was nicely done.
