Well, the first non-surprise is: This a Simon Bisley book, with the story as second best. The good guys get together in time for the bad guys to arrive, they fight, and then the whole mess is interrupted by the fore-shadowed appearance of God. One quick surprise ending later it's over, leaving the reader to look at the pretty pictures. And they are pretty, in the most part. The most striking impression is how hairless everything is; The world abounds with things for the sun to gleam off, and the presence of a massive sword and spear fight doesn't change things much. It's also a very dark book. The planet is overcast for the majority of the book, leaving the identity of the aforementioned gleaming light a mystery. If you can ignore stuff like that, it's a visual treat, same as almost anything Bisley does.
