I just finished Xenos, the first novel of the Eisenhorn Omnibus. Insane! Great story, lots of action and twists and turns. Abnett really has a knack for writing scifi lingo which is easy to understand and follow. Of course I may be a bit biased as I am a 40K players.
Up next is the first short story and then the second novel, Malleus. Of course, reading this has made me really want to work on my Grey Knights army, especially as the Grey Knights are one of the militant arms of the Inquistion, and Eisenhorn, of course, is an Inquisitor.
