Also the actual killing off of Garro when there are plenty of boring characters in series that deserve it.

I am gonna be honest, I think the publication timing didn’t work, and it really should have come out prior to Warhawk, as it did remove some of the tension knowing what happened in that story. From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite's Agentia Primus, Garro's path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. Garros stories are ones I have always looked forward to, and I have been desperately waiting for this story, and it didn’t disappoint, it is a tad slow, and the book is rather short, but when it kicks off, it really goes all out. Written by James Swallow, Garro: Knight of Grey finds the embittered veteran drawn into conflict with his estranged father – the hideous Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of the Death Guard legion. Perhaps published out-of-sync, and therefore lessening it’s impact, Knight of Grey is still a worthwhile read.br>
From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite’s Agentia Primus, Garro’s path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. The world-shattering Siege of Terra is drawing to a climax – the penultimate novel Echoes of Eternity gets closer by the day – but there are still a dozen stories to tell about this legendary conflict.

As the heresy reaches its final stages, this becomes a momentous event not only for the aforementioned characters but also for Euphrati Keeler. The characters were nowhere near the location in this book, and Keeler wouldn't be with the same companions.This novella is snappy, well-paced and has some cracking duels and wraps up one of the Heresy’s longest-running arcs quite nicely. Every story must reach an end, and this novella marks the final stretch of Garro's journey, the Grey Knight. Another concern is the way Garro heavily injures Mortarion, mirroring exactly how Jaghatai Khan banishes him. A short, but powerful and very enjoyable novella, matching the impressive works by messrs Abnett and Dembski-Bowden in the Siege of Terra series for quality.

While I have complained in the past about the use of filler material and repetitive themes in the HH / SoT series, I think this book truly serves the classic admonition of "be careful what you ask for, you might get it", as it is terribly bare-bones and short. As he struggles to protect Euphrati Keeler, the first Saint of the Imperial Church, from the horrors of this titanic war, Garro must face his greatest enemy - his father, Mortarion, his former master and the monstrous liege-lord of the traitorous Death Guard - in a final shattering confrontation.What can I say about a man in the 30th Millennium, far in the future who we have followed through fire and death, rebirth and something more, apart from this: his story will be remembered.

I've been following the story of Nathaniel Garro since the early days of the Horus Heresy: fleeing the carnage above Istvaan V on the Eisenstein, his adventures as one of the Knights Errant and the battles he fought in the lead up to the Siege of Terra. Nathaniel Garro, the loyalist who betrayed his father Mortarion to warn the Emperor of the horrors of Isstvan, is brought face to face with the hideously changed Primarch.Well-written and emotionally charged, Swallow presents another valuable moment in the Warhammer 30,000 lore, leaving enthusiasts discussing it for a long time. Mortarion despite wanting desperately to destroy Garro when he finally gets this opportunity has to face a much harder foe in his own mind than on the battlefield, which leaves him forever changed. Garro was a very deep character who had evolved through his stories overshadowing everyone but maybe Sigismund.
