As the greatest Ork Waaagh! ever seen threatens to engulf the galaxy, the Imperial Fists make their last stand
It is the thirty-second millennium and the Imperium is at peace. The Traitor Legions of Chaos are but a distant memory and the many alien races that have long plagued mankind are held in check by the Space Marines. When a mission to exterminate one such xenos breed on the world of Ardamantua draws in more of their forces, the Imperial Fists abandon the walls of Terra for the first time in more than a thousand years. And when another, greater, foe strikes, even the heroic sons of Rogal Dorn may be powerless against it. The Beast Arises… and it is mighty.

Good start to a series, if you're already a fan
By S. Anderson
The first book in "The Beast Arises" event series from Black Library. I won't say it was my favorite of Abnett's books, but as an introduction to a longer event series it did everything it needed to do. There is no question in my mind that I'm going to read book 2 X("Predator, Prey" by Rob Sanders). Do be warned though, it is very much a set up for an ongoing narrative, there really isn't much satisfying resolution here in book 1.
I normally shy away from the purely Astartes (Space Marine) books since I prefer the politics that happen with the other Adeptus in the Imperium but there is a side plot which sets up a very solid political conflict alongside the straight up 'only way' the setting is known for.
Good for fans of Abnett who are interested in getting involved in a longer (non-Horus Heresy era) story line, though it's still the 32nd millennium, so well before the 'modern' 40k timeline.
If you're new to the Warhammer 40k setting, I'd start elsewhere though. Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium is a good place to start.

Daylight Wall Stands Forever
By Perry Allen Smith
Just finished this. It's the first in a 12-volume story about how an ork war campaign erupts from seemingly nowhere, carving a huge and bloody path straight through the Imperium and threatening to destroy Earth ("Terra") itself.
And man is it good.
The main characters are the Imperial Fists, the Successor Chapter that kept the name of the First Founding's original Legion of Space Marines. The main character of them is Second Captain Koorland of Daylight Wall, nicknamed Slaughter. You are also introduced to a number of other characters, including a host of Imperial rulers, the High Lords of Terra, who are awful at anything other than lining their own pockets. Only Wienand (Inquisition rep) and Vangorich (Assassin Grand Master) seem to comprehend that the ruling body is a joke, but while they are allies, borderline friends, Wienand keeps a lot of secrets (she knows the orks are coming, but refuses to tell Vangorich). Heth, the Navy's High Lord, is a good guy, but like virtually all the good guys, he's killed at the end of the book when the orks attack.
Which is what the title is actually about. Koorland's alias is just ONE reason for the book's name: it's also what the orks' warboss declares to the Imperium, and is a possible translation of his name. And damn if he doesn't deliver on his promise, because the Imperial Fists are utterly wrecked by book's end.
But there is a third reason: there is a former Assassin, codenamed Beast Krule, who plays an increasingly-important role in the story. Just how important has yet to be revealed, but him in action is the last thing we see, and it is short, efficient, and brutally savage. A beast indeed.
Some would decry Abnett as overrated, that Games Workshop/Black Library slaps his name on something and it sells despite lacking any real quality. I staunchly disagree. This book may be short, but it is riveting, and it's an excellent start to a series that means to show why the greenskins are just as dangerous as any foe of the Imperium.

Quite good although not his best
By JPS
As another reviewer mentioned, “I am Slaughter” is indeed the first of a new Series taking place a thousand years after the Horus Heresy, with Dan Abnett, one of the most successful authors at the Black Library, kicking off this new collection. Although I will try as much as possible to avoid or limit spoilers, the following review may nevertheless include some, if only to explain how and why I reached the conclusion that this book, while quite good and enjoyable, was not one of the author’s best.
The glimpses of the Empire post Horus Heresy, and of the somewhat decayed Council of the High Lords of Terra are among the best pieces. I particularly liked the power plays and rivalries between factions, and the character of Vangoritch, the Master of the Assassins. Also interesting are the double meaning of the book’s title and of the collection’s subtitle (“the Beast arises”), both of which I will let you discover without providing any further explanations.
However, I was a bit less carried away with the plot and could not help the impression that there were holes or inconsistencies in it. I liked the idea of an Empire whose enemies had been defeated or pushed back to the edges of its frontiers and which has accordingly grown sufficiently complacent to wonder whether Space Marines are still needed and useful. I also “bought” the idea of an infestation of Xenos called Chromes, which indeed closely resemble the “bugs” found in Starship Troopers at a planet a mere 6 weeks away from Terra. This is, however, were some of the inconsistencies creep in. The menace is deemed to be sufficiently serious to commit most – and then all – of the Imperial Fists Chapter but not serious enough to trigger the recall of any of the other Chapters to either support them or replace them in guarding the Imperial Palace. Also, and while much is made of the role of the Fists and their duty in guarding the Walls of the Palace, nothing is mentioned about their predecessors. What happened to the Custodes, the Emperor’s own bodyguard sometimes depicted as forming an additional Legion and whose duty it was to secure the Palace?
The pacing of the story-telling is quite good. As in some of his previous books, Dan Abnett has used one of his usual ploys in having the story jump back and forth between events taking place on Terra and those taking place on and around the planet infested by the bugs. This, of course, contributes to the suspense and the sense of urgency that pervades the book. This is quite well done and efficient, even if, at times, it may appear to be a bit artificial and excessive.
Another little gripe is that the reader simply is not told where the “Chromes” come from, although this is probably intentional. What is less satisfying – and perhaps another inconsistency - is to have the book opening with the Fists fighting their way into their hives only to learn latter on that the “Chromes” are flying from an even greater enemy that is even more threatening for the Empire.
I was also a bit disappointed with Abnett’s presentation of the Fists, perhaps because their characteristics as masters of siege and defensive warfare hardly come into play at all in this book. I could not help feeling that, apart from the colour of their armour and their role as guardians of the Imperial Palace, both of which are mentioned numerous times, there was little if anything in this book to distinguish them from any other Space Marines Chapter. I could not help finding the endless carving up and chopping of the Chromes into bit by the Fists as somewhat tedious and unoriginal.
However, I rather liked the multiple allusions to their glorious past as the ultimate defenders of the Imperial Palace although I could not help thinking that before embarking on a new Series, I (and many other readers) would have, once again, preferred to read about the great Siege, rather than its sequel a thousand years later. I also liked the impression that Abnett managed to give of the Fists in particular, and the Imperial Armed Forces in general: that of a Chapter and Forces which were somewhat living on their glorious and past reputation. Also good was their eagerness and need to prove their worth, and eagerness for which they will pay heavily.
As a result of all this, I felt that this one was just about worth four stars, despite (and because) of my little grips, but not five.
