I wasn't sure if I'd read this book until your recap starting bringing the memories back. For some reason this just didn't stick in my head at all. I remember the Fortress Binary stuff being like half the book and wondering how the hell it spent so long on the preamble. That being said, I think Heldane was my favourite character, only because I think he was a character from Eisenhorn, and he had a horse's head or something ridiculous.

I've not actually read any of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels, but just a few days ago I was asking people for their favourite Warhammer (Fantasy or 40K) novel recommendations. I'm probably never going to sit down and read all 64 Horus Heresy novels, there's too many other things I want to read, but I do want to give some of the Black Library's finest stories a try ... and of course, Gaunt's stories were amongst the most recommended. If you're reading this and have any other recommendations, feel free to share 'em!

Oh I absolutely recommend it too, you see the characters change and grow over time and it's equal parts awe-inspiring action, often hilarious and sometimes a tear-jerker, I've enjoyed reading about the Ghosts over the years and definitely recommend you read this series if it's your first or second foray into Black Library novels (or should that be First and Only! 😄)

I will say one thing GW really dropped the ball with the Series Gaunt’s Ghost. It took a couple of years before they made any Tanith miniatures and never made any of the Tainted Imperial Guard. I do know that a lot of people started to play guard because of Gaunt’s Ghosts and even more wanted to play the tainted guard . My favorite character was and still his is embarrassing I forgot his name🤪 I think he was a tracker or sniper .

Larkin is the sniper, Mckoll is the tracker I think =) I personally like Larkin

Mkoll was the lead tracker of the Ghosts. In a later story he met (and impressed!) a White Scars Space Marine

I’m very happy to see this book review in on YT. I’m am so sorry for all the 💩you hade to go through. It could be worse. FB dropped my tutorial on how to paint Samurai skin tones. It was nothing but P3 paint names and ratios. It was deemed racist . 😳I appealed and go no response 😠

I've actually been thinking about picking up First & Only to see if I could get into the Gaunt's Ghosts series. Thank you for the review.

Thanks for watching! It seems like a good series generally and not just for 40k.

@@WarGamerGirl yeah, the only other 40K book I read was Eye of Terror. That was years ago and left me with the feeling that Space Marines only true power is "deus ex machina"
