Unlike many Imperial commanders, who willingly allow their men to be butchered on the field for trivial gains, Gaunt values each man and avoids such brutal methods where possible.<br /><br />aikychien at yahoo dot comAikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120383471104483739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-9692356798116958062011-08-02T17:51:33.777-07:002011-08-02T17:51:33.777-07:00A new author for me so I don't have a face cha...A new author for me so I don't have a face character....yet.

My favorite character of Dan...Andbabcock@gmail.com<br /><br />My favorite character of Dan Abnett's is Eisenhorn's savant, Uber Aemos. Aemos is the heart and soul of the Eisenhorn books in a way that no other character I have seen is written. Aemos is quirky, frail, completely irreplaceable in his responsibilities, and a moral compass and grandfather figure for the group. Aemos may shy from guns and firepower, but never was afraid to muck in to an investigation headlong from a forensic standpoint or posing as a high academic in charge of his boss. Aemos was a real gem.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346500209977767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-71359783052401649212011-07-30T00:36:15.431-07:002011-07-30T00:36:15.431-07:00thorongil89@live.co.uk

I just think he's really cool and I like to pretend I'm a sniper myself.

If I lived in the far flung future of war and heresy, I would want to work for Eisenhorn and experience those high action adventures too.Dave Enigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780449439229201077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-67508785697775030702011-07-29T11:05:40.461-07:002011-07-29T11:05:40.461-07:00david.millest (at) btinternet.com

I relate to the author's description of Cuu's origin -- many of my own characters pop up fully formed too. Plus I empathize with the characters being able to surprise Dan with their demise -- I've been amazed at how characters can take on a life of their own and do what they damn well please. I like a good war story and the premise of Embedded is extremely intriguing! Being new to Dan's work, it's tough to have a fav character, but the Space Wolves interest me just because of their name (even though Dan finds them "a giant pain in the arse", LOL) dani@daniharper.comDani Harper, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982757876282073379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-16407728257216631982011-07-29T04:00:55.873-07:002011-07-29T04:00:55.873-07:00edwardfortune(at)hotmail.com
