Synopsis

In the war-torn future of the 41st millennium, the Inquisition fights a secret war against the darkest enemies of mankind - the alien, the heretic and the daemon. The three stories in this omnibus tell the tale of Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor and his lethal band of operatives, whose investigations take them from the heart of the Scarus Sector to the wildest regions of space beyond, and even through time itself. Wherever they go, and whatever dangers they face, they will never give up until their mission succeeds. Contains the novels Ravenor, Ravenor Returned and Ravenor Rogue, plus two short stories and an introduction by the author.

About this title

About the Author:

Dan Abnett lives and works in Maidstone, Kent, in England. Well known for his comic work, he has written everything from the Mr Men to the X-Men. He has written twenty-five novels for the Black Library, including the acclaimed Gaunt's Ghosts series and the Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies, and, with Mike Lee, the Darkblade cycle. His Black Library novel Horus Rising and his Torchwood novel Border Princes (for the BBC) were both bestsellers.

Review:

"It's a big, sprawling, Gothic-style universe, filled with high tech, SF goodness with a liberal dose of decay and squalor... Abnett does a bang up job of detailing the various settings in the book and bringing the universe to life. It feels lived in, alive." (SF SIGNAL) "...a highly cinematic read, in which Abnett delivers a convincing, intricately constructed future, filled with interesting characters." (SF SITE)
