Don't Think, Feel: Magos Dahan believes that he can defeat any opponent thanks to a database which analyzes their fighting style to predict how they’ll act. Then he encounters a shapeshifter which never stays in one form long enough to be analyzed. Realizing that his database can’t keep up, Dahan switches it off and improvises. Lionel D. Barnett (1994).

The characters are mostly relatable, interesting, and flawed. Kotov and Blaylok are likeable in ways but also detestable. Surcouf is interesting .The Tychons and Anders are just all around awesome. I liked that the Tech-Priests felt distinct, with their own goals and quirks and even physical descriptions that were memorable without being over the top. Meanwhile, German readers can catch up with three novels from the Horus Heresy series, presented as a single omnibus. Omnibus VIIIn Gods, Coyne’s hand gets shot off by a crystalith, and Tanna’s right hand is bitten off by Vodanus. Mind Rape: In Gods, Galatea tortures Linya by feeding lifelike simulations of being killed in various horrible ways directly into her brain. Walking Techfix: Abrehem can make damaged or disused machines work again just by touching them. Several characters take this ability as a sign that he’s Machine-touched, or blessed by the Omnissiah.

Pingree, David (1973). "The Mesopotamian Origin of Early Indian Mathematical Astronomy". Journal for the History of Astronomy. SAGE. 4 (1). doi: 10.1177/002182867300400102. Living Battery: It's eventually revealed that the temporal anomalies caused by the Breath of the Gods are due to a colony of trapped Hrud, a xenos race with an innate ability to manipulate time in a localized area around them, used to make the machine function, as Telok did not have a C'tan shard to power it normally and had to use the Hrud as a substitue due to their entropic abilities. Planet Spaceship: The Speranza. Exact figures are never given for its size, but it can store the three-kilometre-long Renard inside one of its cargo bays with room to spare, and at one point it deploys a trio of geoformer engines—each of which is ten kilometres square—from its underside, suggesting that it measures at least thirty kilometres along one axis. It even exerts its own gravitational pull, and the crew uses what is essentially a bullet train network to get around the ship in a timely fashion. Do you ever get the feeling as if a single story was stretched out to cover multiple instalments? You know, when you’re watching something and it just feels as if every new part you see is an extended act of a tale. That’s almost what Lords of Mars feels like. In the review of Priests of Mars it was noted that the tale felt less like the plot of a book and more like it was simply Part 1 of a tale. That carries on here, with Lords of Mars seeming less like a novel and more like “Priests of Mars: Act Two”.

In Gods of Mars, the Breath of the Gods turns out to be as capable of obliterating spacecraft as it is of restarting the life cycles of stars and planets. adawal, Shanker. Encyclopedia of Vedic Astrology: Relationship: Marriage, Love & Sex. Sagar Publications. p.589. Genius Loci: The Speranza has a machine spirit that dwarfs those of forge worlds in depth and complexity. Most of it is still dormant, however. There are other, lesser-examined elements to this story as well, such as descriptions of the Titan Legion crew and their individual rituals. I can only recall a couple of other books which have looked at this very interesting element of 40k lore (TITANICUS by Dan Abnett probably being the best). McNeill handles this really well, and the Legio sub-plot is one of the better aspects of the book.
