Hello, and welcome back to another instalment of ‘I ended up reading a Space Marine novel despite saying I wouldn’t, and once again have mixed feelings on the matter. Yes, we can seed this questions in the reader’s mind, but the focus here is killing heretics and saving history. There is a broader question regarding the legitimacy of Guilliman’s position, but that is not the focus of this particular book.This side of things is very much the big stompy heroes being big and stompy sort of narrative that usually turns me right of the Space Marines as a concept. This book is definitely a step in the right direction so far as Warhammer fiction is going, but ultimately a short novel like Helbrecht: Knight of the Throne just isn’t the place for deeper ruminations on the nature of faith.

Forged in the fires of the scouring, Hevaran is sacred in its desolation, condemned to never rebuild… yet hidden upon its barren surface is a sacred relic. A well written story that sheds a light onto both the Character of Helbrecht and the wider chapter of the Black Templars. High Marshal Helbrecht is back in the action after his meeting with Roboute Guilliman, doing what he does best – questing for a sacred relic with a handful of his best troops. I always have a hard time with authors I perceive as "new" since Warhammer 40k is so close to my heart.

Faced with a Guilliman who disagrees, the question that arises is wether duty and faith are always the same thing.Nevertheless, these moments of deeper philosophy raise this novel above the field of gore and action that characterised earlier Space Marine products. Forged in the fires of the Scouring, Hevaran is sacred in its desolation, condemned to never rebuild… Yet hidden upon its barren surface is a sacred relic.
