Greetings all, and welcome back.  I thought I'd write up my thoughts on my most recent reading material from Black Library, Priests of Mars.  It is the first in a trilogy by none other than my favorite author Graham McNeill, avid author of Black Library and once upon a time the author of Codex: Black Templar.  True to his high standards, the book is a fantastic work of art which covers a huge swath of the lore which until now has remained fairly shrouded in the mysterium of the 41st millennium. It is one of my favorite single groups not only among the Imperium of Man, but in the whole of 40k... The Adeptus Mechanicus.  And as an added bonus, I also get to read more about my favorite chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.  And who better to capture their essence in detail besides he who bore them into their own right?

All bias aside, The book stands as the foundation of an excellent tale which breaks the boundaries of the galaxy itself.  And it's only the first of three.

A Word of Warning, there will be spoilers ahead.  Turn ye from this page should you not wish the spoils of plot upon yourself.
