If you're interested in 40K's trademark Space Marines (yes i'm aware that heinlein employed them first) the Space Wolves Saga is a good introduction as to how these space marines are brought about, these were the first novels I read of the 40K verse. Other good books by Abnett are The Eisenhorn Trilogy that most everyone swears by, I like the books but never can quite remember much about them afterwards. There's 3 finished omnibi now, with the third one, The Lost being my favourite. If you are interested at all in 40K you should definitely look into Gaunt's Ghosts, keep in mind that the first two books are sort of hit and miss, consisting mostly of short stories designed to acquaint you with some of the more interesting characters of Gaunt's Ghosts, Straight Silver is a good trench-warfare novel with one of the best finales ever, Honour Guard is a quest-type novel, Traitor General a Guerilla warfare novel, The guns of Tanith employs some jet fighter action, this one even has its own spin-off novel called double eagle (which I haven't read) and almost every other book has a city under siege. Only In death was a really good ghost story, build-up is all, slow at the start and really spectacular in the end when everything goes full-on haunting.
some of the books successfully manage to employ something more. while all having, obviously, a military basis in their scenario men with guns fighting other men with guns. The individual books are also pretty diverse. Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts are pretty well done, maybe the best the Black Library has to offer.
