Warhammer 40.000 universet

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY WAR!

Warhammer 40.000 er et Science Fantasy miniatyr-krigs-brettspill. Spillet har siden første utgivelse i 1987 blitt utrolig populært, og har ført til utvikling av en rekke andre spill satt i det samme universet. Det er laget en mengde regler og bakgrunnshistorier som beskriver WH40K verdenen, og SF forfattere har skrevet bøker som er godkjent/sponset av folkene bak spillet.

Resultatet etter nesten 20 år med utvikling er et meget rikt univers; en gotisk og dystopisk science fanatsy setting 40 tusen år frem i tid. Jeg må bare innrømme at jeg digger Warhammer, og i en periode leste jeg alt jeg kom over av stoff om denne verdenen mellom SciFi og Fantasy. Dette er de romanene jeg har i bokhylla:

	Eye of Terror (Warhammer 40,000)	Barrington J. Bayley
	I'd actually have liked to give it 3.5 stars, as this is better than 3 stars yet not quite four stars. IMHO this is the next best novel in the WH40K universe, second only to Ian Watson's excellent standard-setting INQUISITOR and SPACE MARINE. In case anyone is not familiar to the WH40K universe the...
	Words of Blood	Marc Gascoigne
	This a collection of short stories involving the Warhammer 40,000 universe. If you hav'ent checked out Warhammer 40,000 or any black library publications...You are sure missing the boat!! This is the best collection of short stories to date(late 2002). There are several stories that have become full...
	Dark Imperium (Warhammer 40,000 Novels (Paperback))	Marc Gascoigne, Andy Jones
	Got a lot of cool short stories, but some can be utterly boring to read. I still, however, can't find a 40k novel that shows the reality of the table top.. I mean.. they sure make space marines overly powerful(One squad can beat a bunch of scorpians and guardians with only 3-4 loses?? They only have...
	Ragnars Claw :WARHAMMER	William King
	Although i am a Tyranid collector (Giant bugs) i found this tale of the young blood claw , Ragnar Blackmane , extremly exciting and quite easy to read. One of the extremely few negative aspects about it is that if you don't know a lot about Warhammer or Games Workshop products then you cannot und...
	Farseer	William King
	This is the first Warhammer 40k book I have read. While I'm told there are others that are better, I did find this a worthy read. It's a must read for those interested in the Eldar. Though there are some very interesting isights into Eldar culture and history this book does nothing to solve the m...
	Nightbringer (Ultramarines S.)	Graham McNeill
	NIGHTBRINGER is a fantastic book. I'm not a huge fan of the Space Marines but this is not a just a Smurf novel. It has Necrons, Inquisitors and Smurfs. There are some good twists and turns that are unexpected. This book actually made me care for the Smurfs and Captain Ventris.
	Kill Team (Last Chancers S.)	Gav Thorpe
	This title is the second book in the Last Chancers trilogy. The single novel was released in November 2001. It begins with Kage in prison waiting for Schaeffer to come back for him. Even if you read the first novel, you will find yourself a bit lost due to this. Yet once Kage is picked up, it is on ...
	Draco (Warhammer Novels (Paperback))	Ian Watson
	This was the first Warhammer 40K novel I ever read---something about the cover art resurrected strange dark emotions in me which had been repressed for too long. After reading this book, I've never looked back---I now try to read every Warhammer novel I can find. As for those who didn't like it, I c...
	Harlequin (Warhammer 40,000)	Ian Watson
	Following on the heels of his first novel of the Inquisitor Wars, Ian Watson pens us the continuing adventures of Inquisitor Draco. But unlike its predecessor, Harlequin is a major let down. The culprit: pacing. Where Draco was filled with intense action and intrique, Harlequin felt like a dragged o...
