What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.

Un-fortify the wheat now!

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.

Did killing Cesar at the end of Fallout New Vegas teach us nothing?

The war machine is too far along to be stopped easily.

Or if WW1 is your poison:

Initially, Wilhelm II wanted to halt the German mobilization, hoping for a peaceful resolution. However, Moltke insisted it was too late to stop the complex mobilization process once it had been set in motion. He argued that it was "like a wound-up clock" that couldn't simply be unwound. His words essentially conveyed that the mobilization machinery, once started, would continue inexorably towards war, effectively removing any possibility of reversal.

They shouldn't be uncomfortable. Make sure you've set them correctly.

Did you send in the Human fleet to defend the Citadel from the Reapers, or did you hold back ensuring Humanity had the biggest fleet after the attack?

Good luck. Labour ran on a "Not the Tories" campaign. Which worked because of the 12 or so years of Tory madness.

Hitler's generals we're largely good generals. Many came from the Prussian school of war.

The Allies didn't try to assassinate Hitler because Hitler was causing so many military blunders by thinking he knew better than his generals and overruling them.
