About this listen

An audio drama collection.

For the first time, get seven classic audio dramas from the Horus Heresy in one fantastic collection - including a brand-new audio drama edition of Dan Abnett's short story 'Little Horus'.

If you don't know where to start with Horus Heresy audio, this curated collection is the perfect beginning - and if you just want to reexperience these exciting adventures, this is your chance!

For more than 200 years, the armies of the Emperor of Mankind fought to reconquer the galaxy - led by the superhuman primarchs, the Space Marine Legions brought countless worlds back under the rule of ancient Terra. Now Horus, once honoured Warmaster and favoured son of the Emperor, has been corrupted by the whispered promises of Chaos. At his command the Imperium is torn apart by a terrible and bloody civil war, the likes of which the galaxy has never seen....

This audio drama anthology contains seven stories, detailing brutal wars - from the aftermath of the Isstvan V massacre to the horrors of the Shadow Crusade and even the doorstep of Terra itself - and bringing new insights into the heroes and villains of the Horus Heresy. It also includes a brand-new audio drama version of Dan Abnett's classic short story 'Little Horus', specially converted into a script and recorded for this collection.

Performed by Gareth Armstrong, John Banks, Tim Bentinck, Steve Conlin, Rupert Degas, Martyn Eliis, Chris Fairbank, Andrew Fettes, Jonathan Keeble, Angus King, Toby Longworth, Charlotte Paige, Jamie Parker, Richard Reed, Tania Rodrigues, David Seddon, Ramon Tikaram, David Timson and Tim Treloar.

The best HH collection

All the HH collections through 1-4 are amazing, but the first one is the best. Particularly the first story, “Little Horus”. Epic on a scale that words can’t describe.

The sound design is impeccable

Absolutely fantastic. Having sounds to back up the stories adds a whole other level to these stories. Stories are all well written, and the voice acting is superb. Well worth the purchase.

Fantastic listen

Great first experience with the Horus heresy series, can't wait to listen to more. Some of the character dialogue needs to be turned up to match the volume of the main narrator though.

Absolutely terrible.

The voice acting is good, the sound effects mean this isn’t so much a reading of literature but rather a cacophonous symphony aimed, presumably, at a child. The writing is awful, there’s no characterization, no proper context setting, the combat is about as inspiring as watching someone else repeatedly hammer a piece of steak into a bench. Save yourself a valuable credit and more importantly, time, but simply deleting Audible rather than downloading this.
