About this listen
A Siege of Terra novella
In the midst of the Siege of Terra, Magnus the Red embarks on a very personal mission – one that will bring him face to face with the Emperor once more!
Listen to it because:
Discover the end of Magnus' journey from Prospero to treachery on Terra in a deeply moving and elegiac tale that sees him finally choose his side and take his place amongst his brothers.
The story:
Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace. As the greatest conflict of the ages reaches fever pitch, Magnus fights his own inner battle. To be whole once more, he must not only overcome the fiercest of defences, but also face the one being whom he loves and hates with equal fervour more than any other – his errant father, the Emperor of Mankind.

A Magnanimous Soul. An Unspeakable Tragedy.
A gripping tale that balances unthinkable stakes with deeply personal tragedy. Magnus' character is positively Shakespearean; wickedly cunning, internally lonesome and inexorably drawn to a harrowing fate. McNeil's writing is more abstract and contemplative than your average 40k novel, with even the battle scenes dwelling on the internal conflicts of the persons involved. This is appropriate given the underlying theme of the novel and does not detract from the action. Keeble's delivery reinforces this through character voices that are pregnant with regret and sorrow.
The story's final scene is one of the most heart-rending scenes I have ever listened to. I did not weep. I did not rage. All I felt was a nameless pain form slowly but surely somewhere deep down myself, not unlike the scattered fragments of the Cyclops' soul. Let it be recorded that only crime of Magnus the Red was being the greatest and most noble of the Emperor's sons.
"No, I’ll not weep.
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart
Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws,
Or ere I’ll weep."
- Lear, Shakespeare's King Lear

Closes the fall of Magnus nicely
I enjoyed following the struggle of the thousand sons primarch and this book closes that out nicely.

Graham McNeill did a fantastic job with this book, giving us an intense and emotional end to the story of the fall of Magnus.
Jonathan Keeble was incredible as always.

another esstential siege of terra edition
An amazing visual spectacular with some really juicey little additions to the lore as well some more solid action we have come to expect from the siege anthology. really recommended especially as this one is very easy to pick and put down as one of the shorter reads

possibly the best siege of Terra book so far
very good story and for a black library book it was surprisingly concise. the story had a good pace, not as much filler as the rest of the HH books. It adds a lot to story of Magnus and it's in line with the poor decisions Magnus has made at every opportunity. Magnus did everything wrong

Cheeky
Awesome, Keeble and McNeill are always a good match. The story flows well and the voice acting is impeccable. Although this book does some CHEEKY A.F. ret-conning. It does add an element that should have been ages ago.
