Rating:  - Fell way short of its potential...
I've read all of the Soul Drinkers novels and have been a big fan. However, after reading the first two, this series has gone nowhere but down-hill. This newest edition, "Chapter War," has a VERY weak plot, and filled with too many gaps. Mr. Counter must have been in a real hurry when writing this, or really didn't put ANY thought into the plot/story structure do to indifference or lack of care. Too many twists, turns, ups and downs, that did not add-up, or make any sense. I found Sarpedon, ... Read More
Rating:  - best
Book was awesome great suspense. twists and turns are very sneaky an overall a terrific book.
Rating:  - Ben Counter again delivers more scum for the BL.
A number of reviews mention how happy people were with the original Soul Drinkers novels. Personally after reading the clunky battle scenes, incosistent fluff and the outrageous behaviour of nearly every character ( the =][= in book two was fairly well developed however).
The only reason I picked up this novel is I cant leave a series half finished and the emotive front cover and recent editions to the Horus Heresy Saga made me feel that Counter may rate a little higher.

Rating: - A Fair Continuation of the Storyline, which is starting to seem stale
Well, it was fun while it lasted. In the SOUL DRINKERS OMNIBUS, which collected the first three books in this series, I was thoroughly entertained by Ben Counter's three novels about the rogue Space Marine Chapter that throws off the yoke of the Imperium in order to do what they feel is the Emperor's will. The first book thanks to the fresh idea of an Emperor-loyal but outcast Chapter, and Sarpedon and his marines were well fleshed out. There are no doubt some people that believe that Space Marines should ... Read More
Rating: - Good if you like the series; stale and confused otherwise.
This book typifies a trend in the Black Library fiction ... cram as many plot elements into the story as you can, tune up the gunfire, and let the reader slog through it to get to the good stuff. The result, as the other two reviewers point out, is a confused story arc that has a good 75 pages of distractions in it -- this is a book about Space Marines and loyalty ... so why throw page after page of ork psychology at me? Just write a book on the orcs instead ...
The really strong book in this ... Read More
