Darkmagi Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi all I don't usually post in this part of the forum but I just finished reading the new Mechanicus book "Priests of Mars" and I have to say I thought the book was quite well done! Also it would appear to be the first of a series so should be more Mechanicus loving coming this way eventually. I was wondering what you all thought of the book? I thought Kerov was well done and the Ark Mechanicus descriptions were sweet! as I'm not great with spoiler tags I won't post the parts I liked the best due to not wanting to spoil the book for others, so Discuss!

Elias Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think that book is very, no VERY good. especially I liked Kul gilad,when he sacrifices himself for his brothers, and also when arco-flagellant kills eldar, it was awesome.

Sublime Heresy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Enjoyed this very much. I always love the Mechanicus and McNeill, so had great hopes. It didn't let me down! Also, anybody catch the strange combo of the Sperenzas true names? One especially linked to Mechanicus nicely.... Parts of it's soul were once known as Grammaticus and more importantly...Kaban.

One of the most interesting thing on Speranza's name was the fact it comes from my own language.... I rarely see my language to be considered at all, so I found it quite interesting, for my point of view, of course :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257600-priests-of-mars/#findComment-3167815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Heresy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Italian I guess? If so, it IS very rare in 40K I agree. You just get the butchered Latin instead!

I know Italian is not a very common language around the world, so I was very suprised to read the name of Priests of Mars main starship :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257600-priests-of-mars/#findComment-3168109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Heresy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I liked mechanicum better, but there were bits that really impressed me! But yer, left wanting more As did I, but I think i just prefer the 30K era for novels tbh, so am biased. That aside, this was a really nice book, and very much looking forward to the next one.
