In Horus Rising the characters that Dan Abnett creates feel very real. While the book is specifically about the Warhammer 40k fiction it also tackles complex and disturbing themes such as science versus spirituality, righteousness in war, and justice versus the sanctity of brotherhood.
You don't really have to know anything about the Warhammer 40k universe to enjoy this book. It's well written and a surprisingly good read!
