Book 4 in the Eisenhorn series

Inquisitor Eisenhorn makes his triumphant return in a brand new novel, collected together with every one of the short stories starring the tortured servant of the Throne.

Listen to It Because:

It's a brand new Eisenhorn novel by Dan Abnett! What other reason do you need!

The Story:

Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn has spent his life stalking the darkest and most dangerous limits of the Imperium in pursuit of heresy and Chaos. But how long can a man walk that path without succumbing to the lure of the Warp? Is Eisenhorn still a champion of the Throne, or has he been seduced by the very evil that he hunts?

Warhammer 40,000’s most beloved anti-hero finally returns in a stunning new novel that pits him against his oldest and most constant foe, and forces him to confront the true darkness of his own self.

For the first time ever, the Black Library presents the definitive casebook of Gregor Eisenhorn, collecting all of Dan Abnett’s celebrated Inquisitor short stories into a single epic volume. The stories, some of which have never been in print before, have been compiled and introduced by the author to serve as an indispensable companion to the acclaimed Eisenhorn trilogy, and to act as an essential prologue to The Magos, a brand new, full-length Eisenhorn novel.

Excellent book, but different.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've read both the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series multiple times (and a lot of Dan Abnett's other Warhammer 40K novels), so I was excited to see this book was being published. I had already read some of the short stories included in this book so I was tempted to skip over them, but I didn't. I recommend you read them, thoroughly, before reading the actual novel. They will make it much more enjoyable. The short stories were all decent, as could be expected. They serve their purpose. However, the novel itself, The Magos, is excellent. I don't think it is as good as the original trilogy (but, maybe nostalgia has just made me partial to them), but it is a good book. The plot, while grand, lacks the size of the original novels. I still enjoyed it though, and I especially enjoyed the tie-ins with the short stories (hence, why you should read them). I read this entire book in one sitting without much trouble, in that it was good enough to keep me enraptured for so long. I would recommend it to any Warhammer 40K fan. You'll be more likely to enjoy this book if you're already very familiar with the Eisenhorn novels.

Wow, I was not expecting this....

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

This is arguably Dan Abnett's best book for the Black Library. It is utterly unlike anything else he has written and for those who prefer Eisenhorn to Ravenor, it is a must have. It's comprised of multiple short stories, a novella, and ends with the new novel Magos which is excellent. It is filled with older beloved characters and introduces new characters that quickly become favorites. Slight Spoiler Alert: if you have read the original Eisenhorn Trilogy, you will know that he consider himself a "low delta" on the psyker scale yet he always seems to beat superior opponents like Pontious Glaw and Qxious. This book explains the very WHY of the that and it is not even knowledge Eisenhorn knows himself. Or about himself. He is not just "hyper-lucky". Also, the novel Magos at the end is a direct PREQUEL to Pariah. THAT is a must read. Look at the cover. It says, "The Magos", but underneath it says, "The Definitive Casebook of Gregor Eisenhorn" and that is what this book really is. It's his entire career spanning his birth on Dekere's World around 201.M40 up to just before the events of Pariah around 825.M40. If you are going to start rereading your 40K library, start by ordering this one. You'll love it.

I love it. The only negative to Dan Abnett's Inquisitor ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

As usually, I love it. The only negative to Dan Abnett's Inquisitor series comes from the supposed competence of Ravenor, which isn't there. A honest contest between Eisenhorn and Ravenor would result in Ravenor defeated (and not dead if and only if Eisenhorn didn't want him to be), but this series doesn't seem to be heading that way. Great bridge between Pariah and the Eisenhorn trilogy. So far, Dan Abnett's best series, unlike the rather disappointing (and clueless) Ravenor and the degeneration into random wandering and rinse, repeat of the later Gaunt's Ghosts (the first six are great, but all the foreshadowing disappears into dust as Gaunt and the Ghosts descend into obscurity and sideline stories).

It has been so long, I actually limited myself to a chapter or part of a chapter a day to stretch the story out instead of devouring it.

Not great, not terrible.

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the latest installment in the Eisenhorn saga and its not great, but not terrible. About 3/4 of the book is just short stories that take place at various points in the timeline, and they range from good to boring. **Spoilers** The main story is very short and mainly follows The Magos, instead of Eisenhorn himself. Cherubael is not included. There's also numerous questions that this story raises that are never answered. Like, how did Eisenhorn learn Enuncia? Overall its not bad, but it just feels very underwhelming compared to the main Eisenhorn trilogy.

Excellent. Love me some Eisenhorn.

This book is a huge book of awesome. Eisenhorn is my favorite 40k character and it's been a while since I've read an Eisenhorn novel. This collection of short stories and novel at the end is awesome. You have to be a bit patient as you work through the short stories, but they all come together at the end in great fashion.

I am rarely disappointed with Abnett and his writing. He catches the mood and character of Eisenhorn and all of his contemporaries perfectly. Finishing this made me want to reread the Eisenhorn and Ravenor omnibuses.

A great conclusion to the Eisenhorn saga

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

Warning before you decide to read this: It is best to also read the Ravenor Trilogy before this as events in that are referenced here. With that said, as a fan of the Eisenhorn series, this was a great conclusion and a great lead in to the Bequin Trilogy currently going on right now. I recommend this book and the great short stories collected inside. Check it out.

Very rewarding story

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021

I've enjoyed the Eisenhorn series since the first book and found The Magos to be such a fitting conclusion. I particurly enjoyed the short stories that precede the actual novel and they pay off in turn in the novel. The supporting characters felt much more dimensional than in many stories, and I particularly enjoyed how the stakes felt for each of them.

Dan Abnett's writing is always incredible, and his eisenhorn and ravner series both got me completely sucked back into 40K again. I absolutely love The Inquisitor books and can't wait until he has an opportunity to finish the Bequin trilogy as well. Definitely recommend these books and this one is nice because it adds not only a new longer story about a new character but several other many stories that help to flush out some of the background of the characters that I've come to know from the other books. Would definitely recommend picking these up if you are a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe or just really good characters!!

Well I’m not sure what I was expecting really. First off Dans writing style has changed, I’ve bee. Reading his books since First and Only, and this book along with WarMaster is different. It is hard to put my finger exactly why, if I had to say I wold say that his writing seems even more confident than before. There is almost more story.... more action. He gets to the point quicker. Please understand that this is not a criticism of his previous work at all, just an understanding. Things change, and this obviously applies to Dan. On the book itself, one thing I didn’t really get which I should have seeing as I read the foreword and it is clearly stated there, that half the book is a collection of short stories leading up to Magos in chronological order. I especially enjoyed the short story relating to Titus Endor.

Disappointing fourth part of the Eisenhorn trilogy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

The original Eisenhorn trilogy is great, especially Malleus. Cracking books which I will re-read for years to come. I didn't enjoy the Ravnor series as much but at least the 'bad guys' Ravenor faced brought a smile to my face.

The Magos is really disappointing by comparison. The plot fails to ramp up convincingly. Eisenhorn's companions are also far too mundane considering where his character went already in the series. The eponymous magos seems a nice enough guy... and that's all I can really say for him.

A couple of the short stories in here are good. The pick for me being 'The Strange Demise of Titus Endor'; it's basically the King in Yellow but with Inquisitors. It was a fun read! Others actually ended up souring events mentioned in the omnibuses. I prefered it when I didn't know what occurred in 'Thorn wishes Talon' for instance, and it was up to me to imagine the event.

Best yet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2018

Excellent novel. Part detective story, part gothic horror novel with a smattering of sci-fi/fantasy. The best of the Eisenhorn tales yet. If you have read the Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogy some of the short stories which fill the first part of the book may be familiar to you. But read them again anyway they all link into the main story; The Magos.

If you read the Eissenhorn and Ravenor trillogies then you read 2/3rds of this book already

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

This latest offering was disappointing if you have,already read Eissenhorn and Ravenor trilogy as even though Dan Abbnet does reference taking some parts Out of these books what he did was completely recycle over 2 thirds of this book. The ending felt like the last Ravenor chapter left me feeling cheated and devoid. Think it's about time He retired and allow a creative writer to carry on these books

Return to Eisenhorn's world

I must confess some trepidation when I saw this book was on sale. The Eisenhorn sequence is my favourite 40k series by a country mile and it has a lot to live up to. It met and exceeded those expectations.
