I can't be the only person who had a moments hesitation in even removing it from the tissue paper...? #1197 for me. Arrived this morning. I looked at the cardboard it came in with "Black Library First Editions" written on one side. I had my first hesitation. Number two was the tissue paper held together with the small circular chaos star sticker. My third was when I was looked at the unabashed tome itself. It has a nice weight to it, the tactile sensation of the cover is really nice and, let's face it, it looks pretty damned cool. Colour me happy. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295140-the-talon-of-horus/page/12/#findComment-3794603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd advise against it. Like Legion, I think it's a story that's better if you get the surprises and revelations in the right order.

Balthamal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Finished it. Twice. Going to wait a few days and a further read before posting anything.

Olis Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm starting to regret my sizable backlog of books I need to read.

Olis Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think I'll finish Scars, first. I have a horrible habit of starting new books and not finishing earlier ones.

Vesper Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How many pages is the book ? You guys read it with the time it would take to read a bus ticket or something so I'm getting worried.

Lucien Eilam Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Don't worry, I read fast and happened to have the afternoon off today. It's standard BL novel length (~350 pages for the main story, the extras take it up to ~400), but more packed with detail than just about anything they've ever published.

Prot Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Argh you guys are killing me.... I'm thinking I'm going to start up Scars which gets a lot of good press because I think the book is probably still going to be a while before reaching Canada.

Dosjetka Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hum. The Talon of Horus wallpapers have been taken off the BL website which is a damn shame because I didn't manage to nag them before they disappeared. Any chance that someone here has them and could provide them for both myself and anyone else who'd like them, please?
