Imperator: Wrath of the Omnissiah by Gav Thrope If you like MechanicumВ then I suggest you read Forges of MarВ next. It also shows the sometimes tense interactions between the Mechanicum and the rest of humanity. The story follows an explorator fleet that goes beyond the known galaxy and uncovers numerous mysteryвЂ™s and intrigue along the way. McNeill really is the master of Mechanicum fiction with this excellent saga that shows the Mechanicum in a different way. Get from the Black Library here Forges of Mars (Anthology) by Graham McNeill You canвЂ™t go wrong with starting here, even if the Horus Heresy isnвЂ™t your thing.

Added to that is the collapse of order as the Cult tears itself apart in to civil war and then the reveal of an important mystery at the end of the book (no spoilers!).

It gives a fantastic introduction to how the Mechanicum and Mars came to be, why the Emperor is worshipped by them as the Omnissiah and an excellent description of what Mars is actually like under the Mechanicum. Mechanicum is one of my favourite HH books as it stands up well enough to read as a story in its own right. Mechanicum (Horus Heresy Book 9) by Graham McNeill With the recent release of the excellent Warhammer 40,000: MechanicusВ on steam, I thought IвЂ™d look at some of the best novels from the Black Library that focus on the weird and wonderful of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
