I hestitate to use Dan Abnett's fluff for anything, even pillow stuffing. The man writes novels that wouldn't even be able to fly in the old Mack Bolan series. He's ignorant, a bad writer, and I hesitate to even call him a hack, although the field is so lowered nowadays that I suppose that label fits…

Thats a bit harsh :P but true, none of the black library staff are Neil Gaiman so what can you expect. However his work has been seminal in the 40K universe. Ghosts and Eisenhorn being the best known and the influence of these books changed the way the world is presented, before those books all we knew was that there was space marines.

I am however interested in why you think he's worse than the others, is it just that his style doesn't fit you personally or is there some kind of insight?

The price of existence is eternal warfare.
