From School Library Journal:

Grade 10 Up–On the orders of the Galactic Emperor, Imperial Inquisitor Alastor arrives on the desolate planet Magnum Christi to investigate the appearance of two ancient and gargantuan robots beneath the planet&'s surface. A surprise attack by a psychically controlled monster puts Alastor on the trail of two wealthy merchant siblings who claim that a pair of bandit brothers is to blame. But all is not as it appears, as a visit to the cutthroats&' lair results in a fearsome attack by mercenaries hired by the merchants. It&'s up to Alastor to repel the attack and bring the villains to justice any way he can. Based on the popular Warhammer 40,000 RPG, this title has a high level of detail that may make it hard to follow for readers who don&'t have basic knowledge of the game&'s universe. Nevertheless, it&'s definitely a rip-roaring read, blending hardcore sci-fi action with a unique crime/investigation slant and lots of violence and gore. A solid second purchase for action/sci-fi collections serving older teens and gamers.–Dave Inabnitt, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
