Kurzbeschreibung
Across the war-torn galaxy, the Imperial Guard are a bastion against the enemies of mankind. From the punishing heat of Tallarn's deserts to the bonechilling tundras of Valhalla, these are soldiers who give their lives in the Emperor's name. Whether shoulder to shoulder or crushing their enemies in vast machines of war, they are unwavering in their devotion to duty. On a thousand stars, they repel the forces of Chaos and the foul xenos in an eternal conflict. This omnibus collects three tales of savage warfare and heroism in the frontline.

What's inside (that is not in the item's description).
21. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
First off, this isn't a review of the stories contained in this book. This is to outline and fill in the information that is missing from the product's description so that other shoppers can know what is inside (without having to go elsewhere to find this information). Links are included below for the respective original books if you want to read a collection of opinions for each item.
There are three books in this omnibus and their titles are: Gunheads (Warhammer 40000), Ice Guard (Imperial Guard), and Desert Raiders (Warhammer 40,000 Novels: Imperial Guard). These novels are a few years old ('07 in the case of Desert Raiders) and finding original printings isn't always cheap. It is great to get them all together for one low price (now, getting the time to read this 762 page collection is a different story).
To also help potential buyers in making their decision, I'm going to type out the summary for each book (from the inside of the cover = not my own words). For some unknown reason, these summaries are more detailed than what was on the original product's pages.
GUNHEADS - Sergeant Wulfe leads his armoured tank company, the Gunheads, to the hostile alien world of Golgotha as part of an Imperial battlegroup. Their mission is to locate and retrieve the Fortress of Arrogance, a battle tank that belonged to the legendary Commissar Yarrick, hero of Hades Hive.
ICE GUARD - After the withdrawal of Imperial troops is ordered from the ice world of Cressida, a squad of Valhallan Ice Warriors led by the indomitable Colonel Stanislav Steele is sent on a rescue mission to find a stranded Imperial confessor and bring him off-planet to safety. Stanislav and his troops face a race against time as Imperial battleships in the upper atmosphere are preparing to virus bomb the planet.
DESERT RAIDERS - When an Imperial listening station receives an enigmatic call for help from a far-flung planet, a regiment of Tallarn Desert Raiders are sent to investigate. Their mission soon turns lethal as the Imperial Guard find themselves locked in a desperate battle with a formidable foe: the tyranids.
One additional minor note = the cover of the book that will be delivered is slightly different. The picture of the tank is a silhouette instead of the gray-scale image on the cover (as pictured for this item) and it has the names for the three books printed on it (in small white lettering).
I hope this helps.

Pure Awesomeness!

This omnibus was my introduction to the vast world of Warhammer 40k, and I must say I was hooked from the start. The First book, "GUNHEADS" was written quite well! The plot and character development was great! The story kept you hooked and you start to get attached to the main characters, almost as if you're part of their unit. The battle scenes didn't disappoint either; very descriptive, and very unforgiving, with a constant sense desperation; wondering how the heck is the crew going to get out of this one? You even get the feeling that you're right there in the tank, feeling the concussion after firing the main gun!
In "ICE GUARD", you get a different feel about the Imperial Guard, a more rag-tag "Spec-ops" feel to it. But you definitely still feel like you're right there in the action, and when the las-bolts fly, you almost feel like you want to toss the team spare ammo from your kit and let'em know they're going to get through it.
"DESERT RAIDERS", was grim and hopeless (the story that is), but as you read on you cant help but hope that help is on its way, just hold a little longer gents!!
Each book does well to give the reader a feel for the Imperial Guard, and does well to where the reader can actually find relate with the characters. It also does well to introduce 3 enemies of the Imperium of Man and give an idea of how hostile and brutal the galaxy is. And all the guardsman have are each other.

Good Solid Guard

First, I confess I have not read the last book in this omnibus. But the first two were more than good enough to deserve this review. If you enjoy reading about tanks in WH40k, this would be a good volume to grab for the first book. We get to know the crews amid fumes and clanking monstrosities, the honest officers who must command in impossible situations, and the commanders with their delusions of grandeur. There is always some outside faction with ulterior motives as the Xenos batters at the men. Expect a snarling commissar or two between the massed battles. The second books is more of a special forces book, as a handpicked team goes into enemy territory on a secret mission. It is less about men and machines as it is about Chaos and believing in the mission. I enjoyed a few of the plot twists.
Overall a great book.
