Auch dieser Titel ist ein typischer Vertreter der Warhammer 40K-Reihe und spielt mit den bekannten Horror- und Blutelementen. Hier treffen verschiedene Gruppierungen aufeinander, sodass ich leider irgendwann den Überblick verlor, wer zu wem gehört. Aber grundsätzlich sind solche Details bei Warhammer-Büchern eh nicht so grundlegend ;)

Not my cup of tea, sadly.
A lot of the focus was on space marines fighting, which I didn't find very interesting. Never managed to care that much for neither the Night Lords nor the Carcharodon leader.
I enjoyed the parts written from the perspective of Sub-Warden Rannik and most things outside of firing bolters and revving chainswords were still fairly interesting.

On the penal world of Zartak, deep within the dwindling adamantium mines, thousands of convicts toil under their arbitrator overseers’ supervision. Only young Skell, gifted with the mixed blessing of foresight, understands that darkness is approaching Zartak. Two fleets of predators, each intent on the same objectives – slaves, materiel and Skell himself.
This feels like an old-school dark 40k novel updated for the more modern tastes of Black Library readers. Expect plenty of action but also plenty of intrigue and mystery – it’s not an in-depth analysis of the Carcharadons (although that may come as follow-ups are written) but it is a highly enjoyable, very satisfying story.
