Publisher's Summary
Amidst the galaxy-wide war of the Great Crusade, the Emperor castigates the Word Bearers for their worship.
Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined.
Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold, and their path to damnation begins. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy.

The First Heretic
This had me constantly playing back/putting whatever I was doing down. In order to completely absorb the story. I avoided this one for awhile but ADB smashes another hectic book. The word Bearers are so dark!

The Truth & Roots of Herasy
Pretty great story of how the word bearers and Lorgar fell too chaos and the roots of the horus heresy
all I've learnt from the HH series so far is that Erebus is a CUNT lol

Spectacular
Not incredibly action-packed, but it will make you sympathise with the most blasphemous of traitors.

Epic Tale
I loved every moment of this book! The way it was read, the way it was portrayed and the progression of the story had me wanting to keep listening to "Just one more chapter."

Logar did nothing wrong
Book was enjoyable and the narration good but can be goofy at times when the narrator does female voices but as for the content goes into good detail from the perspective of Argal Tal and the slippery dip slide of worshiping the chaos gods but the ending was a bit sad and lack lustre but the payoff good. Great as a solo listen without the background context of the heresy in general but supported greatly by it. I give it 8/10

Masterclass
So Iv read/listened to around 10 of the black library books all of them have been enjoyable however none come anywhere close to the quality of the first heretic. This book is purely a masterclass start to finish in every way. From the morally grey story building to the voice acting it’s an excellent book.

ADB always delivers!
Great characters and insight into the birth of the heresy, I read the novel the first time and loved it, Audible was my second. I did struggle with the narrator.

Must read
The whole book is just incredible it’s a must read. It gives great context as to how the corruption of chaos first gets ahold in the great crusade
