Warhammer 40k: Ravenor : Abnett, Dan: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Great bookstore, fast shipping and good service Review: Well, Dan Abnett has once again produced a winner. Ravenor contains the same great characterization as his many other Warhammer 40k novels, as well as a solid amount of carnage. However, there are a few things I found to detract, unfortunately. The narrative viewpoint switches back and forth from third person to first (Ravenor himself). While not terrible, I think that a complete work in third person would have been acceptable. Also, as a number of the main characters also appeared in the Eisenhorn trilogy, there are allusions to some of their pasts which were detailed in that series but which will be unfamiliar to readers of just this book. There were a number of typos as well, not the usual case for Abnett's works in my experience. Nevertheless, the story moves fast, with good action and progress. The plot revolves around Ravenor and company attempting to locate the source of a chaos-inspired drug in use on Imperium worlds. It leads them to lawless regions in which they are accosted by aliens, traitors, and renegades. It was clear pretty early on that this was to be the first book in a series, as there were a number of loose ends left unaddressed. This was still a great book. It was really enjoyable to read again of some of the compatriots of Eisenhorn. There are some fond mentions of him from those who knew him, tying this new series to that one even more than the inclusion of returning characters. This book continues the high-quality that Abnett established in that trilogy, and I look forward eagerly to the next installment. This book was worth the hardcover price!
