Cover of the Eisenhorn trilogy

Eisenhorn is a trilogy of science fantasy / crime[1] novels by the British writer Dan Abnett, set in the fictional universe of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game. It is the first in a series of trilogies and separate novels by Abnett, which are some of the most popular works of Warhammer 40,000 tie-in fiction.[2]

The series follows the inquisitors Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor and their retinue as they hunt heretics and demons,[1] while attempting not to succumb to Chaos – the archenemy of mankind in the setting – in the process.

Eisenhorn has been adapted as a video game, and is set to be adapted as a television series.

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
