About this listen

A galaxy burns and brother turns on brother as the conflict brought about by a beloved son’s betrayal reaches its fateful end. The Warmaster Horus has triumphed. His massive fleet at last nears Terra and the patriarchal Throne of his hated father. Many have fallen to bring this moment about; their tales are the ashes upon which the Heresy was born and prospered. Others have played their own small parts, drops in an ocean of war and blood.

None of it matters.

Terra looks to the skies as it raises its defences. Armies muster, heroes raise their swords, citizens cower. The war is coming. And nothing can stop it.

A Must Listen

Unmissable stories leading up to the Siege of Terra. Do not miss this one. So many excellent and informative stories, narrated with talent. Definitely an excellent build up for what is yet to come.

Narrator Butchered the Reading

Short story in this book read by Matthew Hunt was hard to get through. His pronunciation of "butcher" as buh-tcher and "bullet" as buh-let is horrific. Not even an accent problem as he speaks perfectly clear English. So, what gives!?

One Door Closes, Another Opens

This book almost feels the closing of one door and opening another as the Horus Heresey begins its end. Many of the stories are written with a feeling that the war on Terra is about to break like a cresting wave; giving the briefest hints at the devestation to come.

The voice acting is superb as always and being short stories you can listen to one, take a break and then continue with another.
