I'll try to get to it after the Months of Shame. One of the things that did strike me with "Emperor's Gift" is the whole Ferrymen/Phlegyras episode. This added nothing to the story and there was no need for its inclusion. It sticks out as a sore thumb. My thinking is that this will be expanded. Abnett is writing a sequel to the Ravenor trilogy named "Pariah" (hmmm), which chronologically should be taking place at the time Hyperion was training to become a Grey Knight. And Hyperion was Ravenor's charge. So maybe further edits will be needed down the road. I think the canon is up for a major turn, as we now have 3 classes of "sons" of the Emperor: the Primarchs (vat grown), the Sensei (biological) and the Grey Knights (surgically manufactured). The Grey Knights are interesting. If the Emp was the collective incarnation of the shamans, each Grey Knights could be the fragmentary incarnation of the Emperor.
