    The default answer is the Eisenhorn book series.

    There is a reading order here that combines three book series that have an interwoven story. However, you can just read the main Eisenhorn books for flavour:

    If you like these, there are then some options:

    • The Horus Heracy ( a huge number of books and multiple reading lists depending on your approach I.e. full chronological list ~400 books, main story books ~50.

    • Caine Books (a more lighthearted take on 40k)

    Other mentions:

    • Watchers of the Throne
    • Vaults of Terra
    • Dawn of Fire

    ^These are a few Imperium heavy series. There are a ton of other faction books.

    If I we’re you I’d read Eisenhorn and if you like it, look at that top link. If you are hooked, look at the Horus Heracy. If you aren’t hooked then try the 1st Caine book and see if it pulls you in.

    Feel free to come back and ask again. There’s a ton of lore out there.
