One more piece of the newest addition to the endless TBR, "Malleus" by Dan Abnett, second book in the Eisenhorn series, and definitely as good as the last, if not better.
About the Book: A nasty and devastating trap that Eisenhorn mostly evaded. Mayhem, countless losses, escaped prisoners, servants of the Chaos. Amidst it all - suspicion and anger spreads like wildfire as eyes turn to Eisenhorn. How has inquisitor been everywhere, always present, yet is mostly unharmed? Realizing he stands among enemies, Eisenhorn must make a quick decision: flee and confirm their own ideas, or stand down in hopes he'll be believed, let alone allowed to speak.
My Opinion: A wild hunt through very unusual places, meeting with people who even as friends - pose danger, following obscure and unnerving leads. All the while, even reading Eisenhorn's own testimony, doubting his bloody sanity... A well written book, with great characters who, since the last one, became more autonomous, more irreplaceable for the integrity of the tale being told. If you want Science Fiction that is as good as High Fantasy, this is it.
Time well spent, read it in one sitting. 5 out of 5.
