Conviction
What happens when being certain is part of the job, but certainty itself becomes a liability?
WARHAMMER 40,000 · AN UNOFFICIAL FAN ARCHIVE
A question
of conviction.
Gregor Eisenhorn.
Inquisitor. Investigator. A man walking
the thin line between duty and damnation.
ORDO XENOSTHE IMPERIUM OF MAN
01 / THE INQUISITOR
The enemy
is never simple.
In the far future of Warhammer 40,000, an Inquisitor's authority reaches into the darkest corners of the Imperium. Few stories explore the burden of that authority as closely as Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn novels.
These are investigations as much as battles: a trail through cities, archives, forbidden knowledge and compromised loyalties. Eisenhorn's certainty is tested by the methods he chooses and the people who pay for them.
This archive is an invitation to read the story, not a substitute for it. The notes below avoid major plot spoilers.
02 / THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY
Begin the investigation.
Three books. One increasingly
complicated sense of duty.
- I
START HERE
Xenos
The opening investigation introduces Eisenhorn, his companions, and an Imperium whose secrets are rarely what they first appear.
- II
CONTINUE
Malleus
A wider conspiracy tests the limits of loyalty, authority and the certainty that one is pursuing the right enemy.
- III
COMPLETE THE TRILOGY
Hereticus
The consequences of earlier choices close in. The distinction between the necessary and the forbidden grows harder to defend.
03 / THREADS THROUGH THE STORY
Compromise
Every useful exception has a cost. The difficulty is recognising when the exception has become the rule.
Companionship
Behind extraordinary authority are human relationships: trust, disagreement, loyalty and loss.
