When i started to read warhammer 40k series, I was in only for space marine stories.But eventually I've changed my mind abot other battle divisions of the WH40k world.The causes of these changes were Inquisitor series books, gaunt series and this one.Actually, Rennie has made a great job describing the life of the titanic, flying, heavy armed fortress,which is called battle spaceship.I personaly liked the story from different angles.We can observe a young and ambitious lieutenant, wise and brave captain, saint and crazy pilot of the space intercepter and (my personal favourite) one lucky thug/killer. What i liked the most , is the atmosphere of total anarchy on the face of the doomed planet.It's great to see arbitres at work.Really tough guys...Good work,Rennie...Sorry for my grammar,english isn't my native language.

Execution Hour is a must have book for any BFG player. The book is written just as if Rennie was watching a huge BFG Tournament game being played out and he was the play by play man for some gallactic radio station! The details he puts into the book are so descriptive, yet easy to read, that you actually "feel" the storyline. Fantastic descriptions of an Imperial Cruiser or a Chaos capital ship. The scenes on the bridge where Captain Semper commands his ship are so well layed out, it was just as if Rennie used an Imperial set of blueprints. BFG players will love the battle details, and the book is full of them!

Wow!, well written and thoroughly absorbing. The struggle and futility were conveyed well, as was the desperation and dedication by all characters. The details were as accurate with the 40K universe as they can be. A well recommended book for those who like me, love all things sci-fi and the Universe of Warhammer 40k.

This is a tale about the ongoing war in the Gothic sector( a area in the Warhammer 40,000 that is rife with war and conflict). But, there is a dark threat on the horizon. Abaddons evil warfleet is on its way with a new weapon called, "The Planet killer". The Imperial warship, THE MACHARIUS, lead by Captain Semper. Is in a struggle against the agents of chaos. This book has it all. A finely written book that is easy to follow( if you know & understand the warhammer 40,000 world ). It has epic battles in space and more personal battles on the planet of belatis; A planet marked for complete destruction. It also tell the story from several different angles;from Capt. Semper to a lowly crew hand...There is also a new book out called "Shadow Point" that is the second part to this book.

Execution hour is one of the best novel out there, Sadly, you have to understand a lot about the WarHamer 40K universe, so for new fans, or outsider, they should start with simpler book (See Space Wolf (Ragnar's books), Xenos (Eisenhorn trilogy) and even the Eye of Terror novels). But for the fan's it's a rarely seen aspect of the WH40K universe, the space battles, and gothic ships, fighters etc... It's a great book, good and strong story line, a few twists to keep it interesting, the action, and space battle are vividly and richly detailed, and thus, completely enjoyable, the only negative part was the end, a little abrupt, but they're will obviously be a sequel in the future, recommended to all knowledgeable fans.
