I’d like to try reading some fiction in the 40k universe and was wondering if anyone has some recommendations. There’s a lot of books to decide between so I’m a bit lost. There’s also the humble book bundle going on right and it looks like it might be a good deal, but I’m not familiar with any of the authors. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
Edit: following the advice in the responses, I got the humble bundle and am starting out with spear of the emperor. Thanks for all the advice! Definitely want to give eisenhorn a read sometime if I can find an epub at a good price.
Try and sample a few. The actual content/character and writing style will make a difference and some will appeal more than others.
I really enjoyed any of the Trazyn stuff - War in the Museum is a good short story but infinite and the divine is awesome.
Picked up the eisenhorn trilogy and can’t put it down. Nice paced detective thriller in 40k universe
There are a few samples of short stories. Try them and figure what you love to read and start there. Don’t try and do the whole thing in release/timeline.
