Lords of Mars (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Half the Man He Used to Be: In Priests, Kul Gilad is cut in half at the waist by the Avatar of Khaine. Being a Space Marine, he survives long enough to deliver some defiant last words to his Eldar killers. Bleiler, Everett F.; Bleiler, Richard (1990). Science Fiction, the Early Years. Kent State University Press. ISBN 0-87338-416-4. I particularly liked a subplot about a conscripted menial worker that rises from the lowest part of Mechanicus society nearly to the top. Mecha-Mooks: The crystalith constructs are poor shots, slow to react, and not very durable. Individually they aren’t much of a threat, but they’re quite dangerous in large numbers. I will preface this by saying that my knowledge of the Warhammer 40,000 universe is not as extensive as I sometimes wish it was, and for all I know, there may indeed be a disparity in how males and females are treated and represented in the Imperium. However, as an empire of 10,000 years and counting, and having spent practically all of that time at war with someone or another, I would be willing to hazard that its gender divide would have faded, if not disappeared completely, in the face of such pressing concerns. So I would like to wish, anyway.

The three geoformer engines that the Speranza deploys in Lords of Mars are described as "ten-kilometre-square slab[s] of barely understood machinery". There are other, lesser-examined elements to this story as well, such as descriptions of the Titan Legion crew and their individual rituals. I can only recall a couple of other books which have looked at this very interesting element of 40k lore (TITANICUS by Dan Abnett probably being the best). McNeill handles this really well, and the Legio sub-plot is one of the better aspects of the book.

With the walls of the Emperor’s Palace breached, and the Traitor Legions pouring through the gaps, White Scars Primarch Jaghatai Khan launches a risky gambit to cut off Horus’ seemingly endless tide of reinforcements – by retaking the Lion’s Gate spaceport from his corrupted brother Mortarion. Why can't this guy write a Mechanicus book that doesn't end with people having nonsense super powers? What the hell does "shooting bolts of pure data" or whatever even mean? In Mechanicum we establish that the Omnissiah is a load of hokum but now people are "Machine-Touched" and can dive into the Matrix?
