Mike Brooks joins the ranks of Chris Wraight, John French, Dan Abnett. He adds a lot of the Lion’s insight and thoughts to the past and current setting. That is way more interesting than battle scenes- although the action in this book is superb.

Excellent book and a fantastic reimagining of a classic hero returned.

A lot of new ideas.

Very poignant and interesting piece of work on Lion El Johnson, his legion, their tragic demise and now their reunion!

The story of how the father of the Dark Angels comes back into the fold is smooth, although it lacks in truly defining moments, it makes up with allowing us to witness the change in character from the brash stern and solemn Lion we used to read about some years ago.
