historical = horus heresy novels, they start off with the story of the primarchs, the original space marine legions and the huge civil war that led to the events that are happening in the main 40k novels.

The Eisenhorn and Ravenor series also have a ton of detail on imperial politics as well as just being fantastic books in general.

If you don't want to get bogged down with 55+ books in the Horus Heresy, I really don't think you can go wrong with Eisenhorn.

Also if you see any of these names as authors, you have a pretty damn good shot that the book is a good one:

Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill, and Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll start with the Horus series since it seems to explain the history of everything.
