Eisenhorn Trilogy

I've finished Xenos and started on Malleus. Great sci-fi pulp fiction. Lots of interesting ideas and fast paced action - there is always something going on - no long boring sections. I'll talk about it more on the next episode but I recommend it. Anyone else read it?

Haven't yet, but I'll look into it.  I'm always on the lookout for good books... a rare find these days.  Thanks for the tip.  That and I just got my hands on a copy of Dark Heresy, the game seems intriguing, and it'd be nice to get a look at the cannon of WH40K.

Hmmm... I really enjoyed my experience in playing Dark Heresy; I should check this series out.
"Isolation on a ship like this can breed heresy in the dark unwashed corners. I won't find evidence of heresy here, will I?" - Festor Sorebol (an Imperial Psyker in Tadanori's Dark Heresy game: House of Dust & Ash)

I'll look up the series, I'm fairly involved in 40k. I haven't read many of the books because I've found the authors to be dull.

It'll be good fodder for future Dark Heresy games, or for a Rogue Trader game.

I found these novels collected in one volume this week.  I started reading it today, I'm only about nine chapters in but it's pretty cool so far.
I didn't come here to win. I came to make friends.

That's what I'm reading. Just finished Malleus. Great pulp sci-fi.

Eisenhorn?

You son of a bitch Ross.
I'm from Alaska. About Fifty miles south of Ankorage there's a little fishing town, maybe you've heard of it, it's called fuck your momma.

There's a guy named Locke in Xenos.  He's an asshole. :)

I finished Hereticus Wednesday night; I really enjoyed the series.  Has anyone tried the Ravenor books?  I'm going to look for them this afternoon, I think.

I named a family in the new world game the Eisenhorns. This angers Cody for some reason.

Surprising.  It wasn't that long ago when he was, "What's his name, Ross?  NAME EVERYONE FOR ME!"

Actually now that I think of it, I think he was irritated because I wouldn't let him name a NPC bounty hunter Dog or use the name Wu-Tang Clan for anything while I used names taken from other sources.
