About this listen

Having recovered from his grievous injuries, Warmaster Horus leads the triumphant Imperial forces against the rebel world of Isstvan III.

Though the rebels are swiftly crushed, Horus' treachery is finally revealed when the planet is razed by virus bombs and Space Marines turn on their battle brothers in the most bitter struggle imaginable.

Narration is first class

This book is a great example of Gritty SciFi set in the Warhammer universe. A “conclusion” to the arc started in Horus Rising.

Tony Longworth’s narration is brilliant and helps lift the text into audio art.

Lucky Number Three

Of the three first novels in the series, this one is the most fluently written and paced. Considering everyone likely knows what’s going to happen, the ‘how’ of it happening is well constructed and the characterisation is much stronger and more consistent than the previous novels.

I wish they would stop one thing!

Great story and an amazing performance! However, I wish they would turn down or completely remove the musical tracks that show up between each part, often chapter apart from each other. While they sound great and fit the theme, they are incredibly loud and each time they come on, I have to rip my earphone out or turn down my stereo fast. Be cautious of this!

The saga cpntinues

I didn't enjoy this as much as Horus Rising, but the narration and characters carry it a long.
I doubt this will pass the review Censors, but 40k fans will know the saying.
"F*** Erebus.
