Product Information

The story we get is a relatively straightforward quest narrative, with Helbrecht striving to retrieve a relic of Dorn, the Primarch founder of his genetic line. Well, some family members went on a road trip in Europe and when they came back they brought the big C with them. For Warhammer 40,000 he has written a number of short stories, including ‘Duty Unto Death’, ‘The Crueltymaker’s Kingdom’ and ‘The Death of the Prophet’.

Forged in the fires of the Scouring, Hevaran is sacred in its desolation, condemned never to rebuild… Yet hidden upon its barren surface is a sacred relic.

There is a broader question regarding the legitimacy of Guilliman’s position, but that is not the focus of this particular book. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills.

It’s well-written, but bolters and chainswords and giant men being extremely violent just isn’t what I read Black Library novels for. A well written story that sheds a light onto both the Character of Helbrecht and the wider chapter of the Black Templars.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.This side of things is very much the big stompy heroes being big and stompy sort of narrative that usually turns me right of the Space Marines as a concept. But when faith and duty are no longer in alignment, Helbrecht must make a quest of pilgrimage to recover a relic of his chapter, and perhaps to recover his own sense of identity as well . And because they’re quite short and self-contained, there’s less of a problem if you don’t get on with any of the above.

Nevertheless, these moments of deeper philosophy raise this novel above the field of gore and action that characterised earlier Space Marine products. Helbrecht is essentially a warrior angel, with absolute conviction that he is doing what the God-Emperor commands of him. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Forged in the fires of the scouring, Hevaran is sacred in its desolation, condemned to never rebuild… yet hidden upon its barren surface is a sacred relic. And really, despite my want of something more, you can’t fault the book for taking the route it does. These Character books are a great way to sample a new faction, to get a feel for an author’s style, and to poke at a new corner of the universe.

Faced with a Guilliman who disagrees, the question that arises is wether duty and faith are always the same thing. Had to do a couple of minor surgeries and then I hit the ground running in a tough summer college course. High Marshal Helbrecht is back in the action after his meeting with Roboute Guilliman, doing what he does best – questing for a sacred relic with a handful of his best troops.

Yes, we can seed this questions in the reader’s mind, but the focus here is killing heretics and saving history. High Marshal Helbrecht is back in the action after his meeting with Roboute Guilliman, doing what he does best – questing for a sacred relic with a handful of his best troops. This book is definitely a step in the right direction so far as Warhammer fiction is going, but ultimately a short novel like Helbrecht: Knight of the Throne just isn’t the place for deeper ruminations on the nature of faith.
