This deeply textured dual biography and fascinating intellectual history examines two of the greatest minds of European history - Desiderius Erasmus and Martin Luther - whose heated rivalry gave rise to two enduring, fundamental, and often colliding traditions of philosophical and religious thought.

Full of detail

The lenght of this book manages to cover everything and more of both the characters, history and their interplay during the first years of the reformation. Great read.

On the world of Verghast, a grinding war between two hive cities - one loyal to the Imperium, the other fallen to the worship of the Dark Gods - is bolstered by the forces of the Astra Militarum, spearheaded by the Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only. But bitter rivalries and treachery threaten to derail the defence of Vervunhive, and it falls to Gaunt to take command of the Imperial forces and forge victory from an almost certain defeat.

Grim dark at its best
Revisado: 12-16-21
Best in the series, maybe in the whole 40k genre.
Just finished the 3rd book Necropolis and remember now why this is my favourite in the series. The best novel warhammer 40k literature has ever produced. An action-packed thriller from start to finish packed with heroism of the imperial guard hampered by the infinite pettyness, pride, politics, greed and stupidity of man which makes it such a believable story. Its gripping drama pulls you in and the climax had me clenching my fists until the very end. A perfect depiction of grimdark horror in the face of pure evil, on par with that seen in Berserk, that made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck as the forces of darkness killed and murdered they way towards the hopelessly beleagured defenders. Its everything warhammer 40k is supposed to be; epic battles fought on a huge scale, the battle between good and evil, the horror of mass slaughter, the valor of brave soldiers, the inspiring leadership of heroic commanders, the pompous cowardice and stupidity of higher command. I cant recommend the book enough, if any of this sounds like your cup of tea, if you enjoy the setting of 40k or that of Berserk then you are going to love this book. Binge listened through the audiobook I got on audible and am already downloading book 4.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 253
In this important book, G.K. Chesterton offers a remarkably perceptive analysis of social and moral issues, even more relevant today than in his own time. With a light, humorous tone but a deadly serious philosophy, he comments on errors in education, on feminism vs. true womanhood, on the importance of the child, and other issues, using incisive arguments against the trendsetters’ assaults on the common man and the family.

A level-headed critique on the insanity of today
Revisado: 06-23-19
Chestertons arguably best work, these pages are concerned chiefly not with what will be but what ought to be. He picks apart the modernist assumption we hold today with such ease and his creative use of metaphors lightens the otherwise serious subject matter.
One star less on performance for the narrator having to pause in the story to tell the reader who each person refrenced by Chesterton was.
