Book Review // The Path of Heaven by Chris Wraight
The Path of Heaven surprised me. I'm still not a huge fan of the White Scars, but Chris Wraight delivers a fast-paced, action-packed novel that finally makes the wider Horus Heresy story feel like it's moving again. Great characters, plenty of mystery, and some fantastic traitor forces make this a very enjoyable read — even if the White Scars still haven't won me over!
Book Review // Star Wars: The High Republic – The Eye of Darkness
The Eye of Darkness launches Phase III of the High Republic with a galaxy trapped behind the Nihil's Stormwall and a Jedi Order struggling to fight back. While I enjoyed the story and its characters, I was slightly disappointed to discover I'd accidentally bought the audiobook script rather than a traditional novel.

Book Review: Brotherhood of the Moon by Chris Wraight

Book Review: Deathmasques - Dave Stone
Dredd leaves Mega-City One behind for Brit-Cit in Deathmasques, tracking a murderous body-hopping alien alongside fan-favourite Judge Armitage. The result is a bloody, fast-moving sci-fi adventure full of weird locations, mega-corporate nonsense, and a healthy dose of classic Dredd justice.
Book Review // Star Wars: Tales from the Empire
As with most anthologies, quality and impact vary, but the range here is genuinely impressive. The collection jumps between viewpoints constantly: civilians, smugglers, Imperial personnel, Rebels, and those just trying to survive another day under Imperial rule.
Book Review // The Dead Zone by Stephen King
Continuing my slow but steady journey through Stephen King’s back catalogue, I finally got around to The Dead Zone. This one has been sitting on my mental “must read eventually” list for a while, and I’m glad I finally made the time for it.
