Eisenhorn: The Omnibus (Warhammer 40,000)

Eisenhorn: The Omnibus is an outstanding read for anyone who enjoys Warhammer 40,000 lore or gripping science fiction in general. The stories are rich and immersive, with Gregor Eisenhorn as a central character who feels complex, intelligent, and morally compelling. The blend of detective-style mystery with the dark, expansive Warhammer setting keeps you hooked from start to finish. I was particularly impressed by the depth of the world-building. The various factions, technologies, and political intrigues feel detailed and believable, and the author does a great job of balancing action with character development. Each book in the omnibus flows seamlessly into the next, making it easy to binge-read while still appreciating the nuances of the story. Overall, this is one of the best Warhammer novels I have read. The writing is engaging, the plot is well-paced, and it brings the universe to life in a way that both long-time fans and newcomers can enjoy. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating and intelligent sci-fi experience.

I knew these collection of books would be big printed together, but it really is massive. However, you get 3 and a bit books for a good price. I have yet to finish them but the print is good, if not a little stiff to open due to the size. Dan Abnett is a classic 40k writer, so I know these books will be good fun to read

Just finished this... literally. Eisenhorn is a undercover cop thriller, who dun it set in the 40 k universe. This book has three very good stories that have solid characters that you can identify with. The books chart the rise and supposed fall of eisenhorn as he goes from a puritan inquisitor to something more extreme....is it wrong if it brings about the greater good and is a little evil ok if it helps the bigger picture?. These questions and more are asked as you trace the cracks in his armour and as the body count rises the lines become less clear. Dan has created these amazing characters and is not afraid to tear these relationships apart. A fine read from beginning to end and it truly has some edge of the seat stuff in here. At one point i was found to be saying to my book "dont do it eisenhorn"...i was so engrossed. Buy it...you will not be dissapointed.

A gret book even for those unfammiliar with WH40k setting. A James Bond/Mission Impossible in a dark grim future that offers not only great action, good pace, memorable chracters, exciting plot, but also a philosophical exploration of such topics as friendship, loyalty, faith, and morally ambiguous choices that (had to)/(shouldn't have to) be made.

Great read for anyone interested in getting into the 40K universe. Honestly, a great read in general.

Great book, one of my most favourite books, Dan Abnett is an incredible author and takes you on a journey with Eisenhorn and his retinue. Buy it now!

Great place to start with Warhammer lore.

The Eisenhorn novels were the very first Warhammer 40k novels I read about twenty years ago now. Since then, I’ve read many more and, rather improbably, even written some. So I decided to go back to my original door to the 40k galaxy to see how they would read coming at them with the eyes of a writer of these stories as well as a reader. The answer, of course, is very well. Dan Abnett is a very, very, very good writer, with an unmatched ability to coin words that not just fit into the 40k universe but with a single word engage the reader more fully into that universe. But now, working from a 40k writer perspective, I’m pretty sure I know how Dan pitched the idea of these novels originally: this was James Bond in 40k. But James Bond with a 40k twist – which means that there’s no sex but even bigger guns. What the Eisenhorn novels and the Bond films share is a breakneck pace with a huge range of exotic locations: unusually for 40k, the stories escape the usual round of polluted hive cities to take in a far wider range of planets, some of which seem like they actually might be quite pleasant to live on (so long as you have money). In another Bond trope, there’s an unusual emphasis on fine food and drink, with many meals described in loving detail. As an Inquisitor, Eisenhorn unfortunately couldn’t really have an interest in gambling, which is a shame as I’d have loved to have read Abnett’s take on a 40k casino. As the stories progress, the tie to Bond lessens as the story and characters grow into themselves, but, yes, I still think that’s how they began, when Dan emailed the editors at Black Library and said, “Let’s do Bond in space!”

O livro serve como intedução ao universo grimmdark de Warhammer 40k. Mesmo aasim, é necessário conhecer o tema e apreciar o estilo scifi da série.

An excellent first step for anyone who is looking as to how to enter the vast 40k universe. Thank you angryjoe show for the recommendation

I loved reading every second of this. I'm just a mom who would normally turn my nose at something Warhammer, but was convinced to try and enjoy the complex and rich lore by a family member. I couldn't put the Eisenhorn omnibus down, cover to cover I read the entire thing in less than a week, and then read it again. This and Space Wolves were fantastic gateways into the Warhammer universe. I've since bought several more Warhammer book series and am devouring them. This particular work was excellent and Abnett is a great writer, he avoided the sloppy, lazy, low vocabulary writing I've seen littering most modern "literature". The pace is excellent, the surprises and character developments were great, the story arcs were well done. I really really loved this series and look forward to the Ravenor books.

Some of the best WH40K stories I have ever read.
