This journey takes you on a wild ride of anger, sorrow, sacrifice, and joy. You follow Garro while you remember the agony on Istvaan III. This book presents the greatest and ever elusive emotion in Warhammer 40,000… hope.

If you’re looking for Death Guard origins stories, well then this is a must read!

Awesome book, really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this!!!!!!!!!!!!

As disappointed as I am that Garviel Loken is no longer the main character, Nathaniel Garro is a good follow-up even if he can be a little bit more overtly righteous. The events feel like they are almost too slow at the start and accelerate greatly throughout the book. The travel through the warp is great and the battle that ensues as well, I love Kaleb and the role he plays in the story. To me the segments regarding the emperor are a little bit terse and utilitarian. It feels like everyone in this book series is thoroughly characterized except the emperor and that is probably on purpose but its still a little bit frustrating for me. Like when describing barbarus and the reclaiming of mortarion I feel like it basically just says yeah the emperor got there helped him with his stuff and then gave him control of the dusk raiders, neglecting to really say anything of substance about the emperor and his specific character especially when it would be so important to the nature of the impending betrayal.

Awesome book but unfortunately Apple seems to be skrewing me cause it like to just delete my Horus heresy books from my iTunes ....... it's not even under hidden purchases it's just gone and I'm kinda tired of having to buy things more then once

An exciting story with great characters. It sticks to the Horus Hersey storyline.

This book acts as a character shift in the series. Loken is no longer the focal character. However, he is replaced by an Astartes of equally sound moral standing. Book does a great job of bringing new characters into the universe and fleshing out stories for ones that were very one dimensional in previous entries.

It is a great work of science fiction, all the books from the Horus Heresy are detailed works of 40k gold! I've read this novel 4 times!

This book has been one of the best I have ever read. Like many of the 40k books, it is in depth, strong to the point, but above all else, it will keep you guessing. A definite to add to your own 40k library.
