One of my favorite things about the book has to be the amount of effort that Robert Rath has clearly put into an organic appearance of Green Knight at the climax of his knights story, and the corresponding amount of restraint that he has shown by never letting the words "green" and "knight" appear next to each other all throughout it, despite a very literal green knight being a rather important part of the whole thing.

Really? The author knew his stuff enough to include that old legend into the story? Now I really need to get this if that's the level of love the Knights get.

It was barely half a chapter, but the battle of the blazing heaven, and sycorax's reaction with rakan afterwards genuinely made me emotional. I loved that the code of honor isn't just a gimmick, it's genuinely depicts a strive to do good by your fellow man.

There's a reason why a pre-nails World Eaters Legion was stalled by just a mob people dragging them down.

There’s one bit about the book that I find really neat that not only book-ends the story but also leaves an interesting thread for a sequel SPOILERS In the beginning we learn that the temples have Astropaths with special implants to encrypt and pass on messages to the departmento assasinorum. Super secret high security shit. Towards the end of the book we find out that the astropath with such an implant was being dissected in the catacombs with their implant missing. And in the epilogue we discover that not only is it still active, but it’s also transmitting messages, and breaching other encrypted signals. Really hope this book gets a follow up to continue on that point

Loved the part where the shape shifting assassin had to get into jester at the end and they were throwing a fit and she told them to shut up and listen.

I absolutely loved this book, and even recommended it to my non Warhammer friends. I think that it's one of the best 40k books out there with a focus on characters, great look at how Knight Worlds work, the assassin temple's being as ruthless as ever. Peak 40k without a Space Marine in sight, and a lovely audio book to match.

I really liked the small part about cawl and tek heresy. About that only god may make something new.

I have a recommendation for for an episode. Since the boys liked the audio drama “Watcher in the Rain” I think they may like another Warhammer audio drama called “The way out.” It is the classic horror idea of the ship is in need of repairs and then the place they bring it to is all dead. It is a good showing of what kind of horrors can just happen in the universe.

Imma be honest though. M'Shen was named as one of THE best of the Callidus temple by its master/leader during Nemesis, and the 5 other assassins from that book did not strike me as OP in the way they are suspected to be. That is to say, if you don't measure them against one of the best of a certain temple, our assassins might be just fine.

Still hoping y'all can get to "Helsreach" for the book club. I'm not a big fan of Space Marine-focused books, but Helsreach is just plain awesome.

The only thing yall didn't mention that I was expecting was the time the callidus assassin called the spirits out for being butt-holes.

I really liked this book, more for all of the knight house stuff, and chaos knights. The assassins were cool, too, but I liked the drunk knight who couldn't link with his engine anymore, (although I think he was on the amasec because he had withdrawals from being unlinked from his throne).

I definitely agree with DK that the best 40k stories are not necessarily the ones that are galaxy spanning and name dropping all the usual lore - its the stories that could be stand alone fantasy and sci fi but take place in the 40k setting.

At one point in the book, they mentioned someone fighting "Arachno-ursid" in a tournament. I couldn't find anything about that, but I'd assume that it's a Spider Bear.

I'm glad you have brought a spotlight to this book. It seems like a LOT of people slept on it. But I enjoyed every bit of this book. I keep telling people it's a lot like a Heist Movie. except instead of stealing something they are trying to kill someone. Made me really enjoy the assassins and much like the infinite and divine i hope rath gets to do another assassinorum book.

If you enjoyed the sort of assassination style story of this one, you should really try Nemesis from the Horus heresy series. One of my favorite books from the Horus heresy

I have been loving robert raths writing style. He does really good character interactions. Now i just need him to write more books.

I'm happy they kept all the assassins still distant even after the mission. The most comfortable they are around the others is the Callidus and Vindicare sharing a toast to finishing such an impossible assignment.

With the assassins being a bit nurfed for the story, i was happy they worked that into the story a bit, with the lead having a major shoulder injury, and them all having had some rough past missions with no downtime.

I was already building a Knight army and this just makes me wanna build it more with a few assassin helpers

So happy you guys covered this book, I listened to this when it came out and fell in love with it instantly

One thing I was absolutely expecting which didn’t end up happening is that rakkan would be considered a reincarnation of the saint the interrogator mentioned. From the moment the guy mentioned that there’s a saint on the planet who’s famous for being able to be in two places at once I was sure that rakkan and his double would eventually be seen by many people in two places at once. Especially during the finale. I was sure he’d be seen piloting jester and leviathan at once. But it never ended up happening

Loved this book. Devoured it old school way with eyeball mk1 in a day and a half. Was definitely a great ride. Excellent descriptions on how the knights function and how difficult it was for the shapeshifter to fool it. The mission planning was great. The level of paranoia, and distrust among the assassins was definitely what I felt it should be. They worked together and learned how to compensate for eachothers short comings.
