In the grim far future, the Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down daemons, aliens and heretics with uncompromising ruthlessness. Written by Gaunt’s Ghosts creator, Dan Abnett, this volume charts the career of Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn as he changes from being a zealous upholder of the truth to collaborating with the very powers he once swore to destroy. Part detective story, part interplanetary Epic, this omnibus brings together the novels Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus and The Magos, as well as four short stories.

For me, Eisenhorn is the perfect book introduction to the Warhammer 40K universe. So far, I've managed to read Regia Occulta, Missing in Action (short stories), and the first of the four main books – Xenos. For me, it's a 5/5*.
Xenos starts as a slow-burn detective story and gradually unfolds into an epic WH40K-style finale with everything that entails. Even in such an action-packed ending, none of the characters or their actions get lost in the background. I definitely recommend it even to people who aren't fully into Warhammer.
Finally, I'll add that my copy (from Black Library) has some slight "smudges" on a few pages right from the first flip. It's not a huge problem, but it's a bit distracting when reading under dim or very bright light, even though you can tell the book hasn't been leafed through before.
Eisenhorn je pre mňa knižný úvod do sveta Warhammer 40K, zatiaľ som stihol prečítať Regia Occulta, Missing in action (mini príbehy) a prvú zo štyroch hlavných kníh - Xenos. Za mňa 5/5*.
Xenos sa z pomalého začiatku detektívky postupne rozvinie do epického finále na štýl WH40K so všetkým čo k tomu patrí, ale ani v tak naloženom finále sa nestráca žiadna z postáv a ich činy do úzadia. Rozhodne odporúčam aj pre ľudí ktorí si Warhammer úplne nejdú.
Na záver ešte dodám, že moja kniha (výtlačok od Black Library) má na niektorých stranách už pri prvom otočení mierne "čmuhy" nie je to veľký problém, ale pri slabšom alebo veľmi silnom svetle to trochu rozptyľuje pri čítaní, hoc je na knihe vidno že listovaná nebola..
