After seven long years of conflict, the Horus Heresy nears its end. But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty. Cthonia, a world once dominated by brutal murder-gangs, is occupied by the Emperor’s praetorians—the indomitable Imperial Fists. For the Sons of Horus, this outrage demands a reckoning.

awesome story filling in some blanks
as always, the narrators for this series are unimpeachable. book after book the voices are the same, very well done.
-
in the Gaunts Ghost series, you go from one fethed up mess to another; and that's just those running the wars! very entertaining, very easy to get emotionally invested in the stories and the characters.
-
but what happens in between? this dossier is a nice addition, filling in the blanks of what happens after the world is liberated. so it helps if you've read a few of the first books in the series before this.

More of this pls!
Definitely a Gaunt’s Ghosts book. Goes back to the early days of the Regiment where they end up dealing with some crazy feth. I won’t go too deep into it, but it feels like there are one or two points where it seems inconsistent with the older books, but otherwise it’s action-packed. Also, there’s a subplot to the story that deals with explaining the nature of the Ghosts’ tattoos and how Tanith’s culture is interconnected with other worlds in the Sabbat Worlds that was interesting as well. If they’re setting up for a second Ghost Dossier book to follow up on this, I’m in.

Throwback for the First & Only
This was an incredible return to the earliest days of Gaunt's Ghosts with returning characters to-boot. The story is structured and paced exceptionally well and provides a deep, cultural dive into Tanith as a planet and people. Toby Longworth maintains his own high standard of character voices throughout and makes for a compelling short tale which reveals much about our favourite characters. The mystery at the end leads to many questions, hopefully answered in a second installment or in the greater Gaunt's Ghosts storyline as a whole.

Watered-down Gaunt's Ghosts
**spoiler free review**
The Vincula Insurgency is the first entry of the new ‘Dossier’ series, a supplementary series of shorter length and scope titles to the main Gaunt’s Ghosts books. The story takes place early on in the overall campaign (appears to take place between the first and second books) and thus sees the return of some much-loved characters. Whilst enjoyable, the book has numerous problems.
Part of what makes the Gaunt’s Ghosts novels of the primary series so great is the unexpected deaths of primary characters; characters are built up to the point the reader is heavily invested only for them be killed off in some tumultuous ‘wow’ moments. By taking a retrospective look at the Gaunt’s Ghosts between known events, the featured characters all essentially have plot armour which ultimately causes the reader to be less invested.
Another ingredient in the success of the primary novels is the uniqueness of each novel. Each one brings something new whether that be a shift in the theatre of war, highly interesting enemies, a perspective change, new allies or the previously mentioned ‘wow’ moments. This book has none of these things.
Moreover, the almost non-existent plot is overly simplistic and at this point in time, inconsequential. What we do get is an ominous introduction to some kind of plot which may or may not serve as a foundation to future Dossier titles.
Despite lacking in multiple areas, there’s some welcome character development or perhaps more aptly put -‘slightly different angles’ on known characters. Even if this was achieved by abandoning any effort to focus on a plot, the title does essentially improve the Gaunt’s Ghosts series in character development alone.
There are no glaringly obvious continuity errors to destroy the immersion. As other reviewers have pointed out, minor continuity errors may exist although these are unlikely to affect your reading experience.
