Book 1 in the Eisenhorn series
When Xenos was released in 2001, there was nothing else like it. It explored the Warhammer 40,000 universe in a brand new way. The characters were so compelling and the plot so well-realised that readers clamoured for more. And six books later, the characters are still going.
The Story
The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold and he gathers allies – and enemies – Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.
