Dan Abnett is rapidly becoming a favorite author of mine. He first impressed me with the Eisenhorn trilogy. While not an Eisenhorn sequel, the Ravenor trilogy ties into Eisenhorn because the lead character, Gideon Ravenor, was an underling of Inquisitor Eisenhorn at one time. A terrible accident left Ravenor disfigured and bound to a mechanized chair. But Ravenor has tremendous psychic abilities, and he still carries on as an inquisitor.
Ravenor Returned is the second novel of the Ravenor trilogy. I had read Ravenor a while ago.
Ravenor and his team continue to track Chaos-tainted artifacts that are finding their way into the higher echelons of Imperial hierarchy. Unable to trust anyone but his own staff, Ravenor has gone rogue - an Inquisitor beyond resource or assistance from anyone officially. Further complicating his dangerous mission, is the prophecy that one of his own team might bring about a world-shattering manifestation from the warp of chaotic sub-space.
