Ahriman : The Dead Oracle

5/5

Avec The Dead Oracle, John French parvient avec brio à nous offrir un interlude au prochain tome de la Saga d'Ahriman grâce à l'apparition d'un nouveau personnage dont le rôle s’avèrera essentiel pour la suite. Sans trop en dévoiler, l'auteur nous gratifie en plus d'u...

But traitors within the Sacristans have other ideas and a shocking act of betrayal sets the stage for one of the bloodiest battles of the Horus Heresy…
4.5/5

The Devine Adoratrice est une nouvelle superbement narrée, nous mettant dans une ambiance malsaine, au bord de la corruption, sur le monde de Molech parmi les Chevaliers Impériaux de la Maison Devine. On aura droit à plusieurs retournements de situation et une narration très immersive pour un ...

3/5

Une bonne petite nouvelle qui décoiffe grâce à l'omniprésence de véhicules perfectionnés et dévastateurs des Eldars Noirs. Grâce à Tantalus, Campbell parvient en peu de temps à nous dévoiler toute la sournoiserie dont peuvent faire preuve les habitants de la grande cité noire qu'est ...

After nearly two centuries of warfare in the name of the Great Crusade, the many victories of the Luna Wolves have become the stuff of legend – still, nothing could prepare them for the singular honour of fighting alongside the Emperor himself once more.
5/5

Horus Lupercal en fils prodigue et l'Empereur, père de l'humanité, réunis en une superbe fresque guerrière.Donner vie à l'Empereur n'est pas une tâche facile, mais elle est accomplie avec talent par la plume de Graham McNeill.

Yarrick : A Plague of Saints

Heresy in a hive city has brought Commissar Sebastian Yarrick and the 252nd Armageddon Steel Legion to the barren world of Molossus.

3.5/5

Nouvelle agréable qui se lit très vite avec un bel hommage aux films de zombies que j'ai particulièrement apprécié. A Plague of Saints est un bel interlude entre Imperial Creed et le prochain opus. On en redemande!

In Service to Shadow (couverture originale)

In Service to Shadow

The battle for Voltoris has been won, but the war for the Damocles Gulf grinds on, world after world falling to the sinister tau ideal of the Greater Good. Despatched to the planet of Sarej in the company of a secretive and untrustworthy inquisitor, Sergeant Talow of the Raven Guard fights a shadow war as he struggles to expose a traitor to the Imperium and stop the world from turning from the Emperor’s light. As the tau influence over Sarej grows, Talow and his squad find themselves cut off from support with danger looming on all sides.
Truth is my Weapon (couverture originale)

Truth is my Weapon

In a deep, dark cell beneath an Inquisitorial fortress sits a most singular prisoner. Tasked with the interrogation of this heretic, Wodin Grime, acolyte of the great Inquisitor Neit, sets about his task with zeal and vigour. But as he speaks with the traitor, doubts begin to settle in Grime’s mind, about himself, the prisoner and, worst of all, the loyalty of his master. But can the interrogator really trust the Space Marine who calls himself Alpharius?
2/5

Mêler le contexte de l'Inquisition avec l'Alpha légion n'est pas toujours gage de réussite, espérons que Justin D. Hill l'ait bien compris. Néanmoins cette courte nouvelle est un très bon moyen de se mettre à la VO, le vocabulaire étant très accessible.
