Very good book, a worthwhile edition to any fan of warhammer 40.000, great text and artwork, well put together and not overpriced

It is pretty but more of an encyclopedia than a guide
2009年5月11日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The artwork is beautiful, like most other Games Workshop products and it radiates the dark gothic vibe of the setting. The book is an alphabetical listing of people, places and things with many pictures. A guide to me would be more verbose expounding on topics in a unified fashion rather than jumping from one to the next simply due to the letter they start with.
That critique aside, I like the book. It is not in the same league as the hardback Horus Heresy offering but it serves a different purpose. You need not have read the novels to enjoy this book though it does contain complete plot summations for major characters so beware if you plan on reading the novels in the future. Reading this first will certainly tell you who betrays whom and why this man died and at whose hand.
I'm a sucker for the 40k style of art, despite its over the top effects and this book contains even more things I'd never seen elsewhere.
I wish Amazon, or the publisher, would include a See Inside section so people could see they encyclopedia style before ordering since the title is a bit confusing depending on your interpretation.

Dieses Buch ist letztlich eine Zusammenfassung der zum Erscheinungszeitpunkt veröffentlichen Black Library Romane zum Thema "Inquisition" (also insbesondere die "Eisenhorn"-, "Ravenor"- und "Grey Knights"-Reihen) in Form eines Lexikons (abgesehen von der Dicke natürlich). Dazu kommen Infos aus den entsprechenden "Codizes" des 40k-Tabletops.
Ich hätte mir deutlich mehr über die Inquisition "im Allgemeinen" erhofft, anstatt einer namentlichen Erwähnung praktisch aller Gefolgsleute von Ravenor und Eisenhorn, ihrer Gegenspieler usw.
Wer die einschlägigen Romane kennt (und evtl. sogar noch das Tabletop spielt) wird hier nicht viel (nichts?!) neues finden.
Wer sie dagegen noch nicht kennt wird hier eine ganze Reihe Spoiler bekommen, mit denen er/sie ohne die Romane aber nicht viel anfangen kann (was hilft es einem, die Namen von irgendwelchen Burschen zu kennen, die irgendeinen Inquisitor irgendwann mal beinahe umgebracht haben?).
Fazit: Nichts neues, sondern nur das Essen von gestern aufgewärmt. Immerhin einigermaßen ansprechend gewürzt (=präsentiert), deshalb gerade noch 3 Sterne.

OK but not deep enough
2014年2月6日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I am glad I purchased the book but I was hoping for a more comprehensive view of the inquisition such as recruit training through the interrogator stage to become an inquisitor and some more detailed information on the evolution of the inquisition. The dictionary A-Z format did not work for me. it was a really disappointment that there was no graphic of Ravenor's chair. I thought the graphics were a bit over the top for some of the characters presented but at least I have a better graphical point of reference. I would have preferred to pay an extra $10.00 and get an additional 25 pages with a comprehensive, non-dictionary view of the inquisition.
Overall I am glad that this publication was created and was looking forward to the dark secrets that I thought would be revealed.

'The Inquisition: An Illustrated Guide to Dan Abnett's Ravenor/Eisenhorn Books' would be a more descriptive title.
Given that you're never going to get a completely comprehensive encyclopaedia of all things Inquisition, this book has reasonable content. The art is good, the entries are well written, it actually seems to have been proof-read (which can be unusual for Black Library publications nowadays...), and there's a short bibliography at the back.
I was a little disappointed that the opportunity seems to have been missed to flesh out some characters and storylines which are mentioned, but given no more than the cryptic notes which they get elsewhere though.
If you're looking for an introduction to - or pretty-looking book about - the Inquisition, you're probably better of with one of Fantasy Flight Games' Dark Heresy books. This is more sought-after now for it's relative rarity value.
