Denny Flowers has once again crafted a masterpiece that interweaves the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium with a cautionary tale of how fascism perpetuates itself through media. It would bring me joy to no end if this series was even half as long as the Ciaphas Cain series. Long live Lucille Von Shard!

A truly fantastic piece about the horrors of fascism, eternal war, and classism; please ignore the morons in this section complaining about "virtue signaling" (which isn't a thing, every work of art ever is political in some way). Competently written characters with clear motivations meet a truly epic plot to create the saga of a regiment of aristocrats and nobles coming to terms with the fact that their senses of superiority exist only in their own minds. 10/10.

I've loved ADB ever since I picked up The First Heretic at age 13; yet I say without bias that Spear of the Emperor is perhaps the greatest Warhammer 40,000 novel ever written. It is not simple bolter-porn; the themes this book explores are the things of high-art. These are themes such as the dehumanization of the poor endemic to fascism, the inhumanity of blind transhumanism, the inevitable rot that comes with imperialism, the patriarchal nature of fascist ideology, and the contradictions between the image of the Astartes as heroic despite them in reality being psychopathic and fascistic child-soldiers. Is it still cheesy, grimdark, and bleak? Of course it is; it's still Warhammer 40,000- it's simply Warhammer 40,000 from the perspective of someone who isn't an emotionless donut. Speaking of emotion, Kelly Hotten knocks the narration out of the park; every line is read with a soulfullness that isn't present in many Warhammer works. I truly hope to see more from her in the grim-dark future of the year 42,000!
