About this listen

A Horus Heresy Novel

Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Legion retreat to their homeworld to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret.

Listen to it because

One of the most tragic tales of the entire Horus Heresy unfolds as the Thousand Sons are brought low by their relentless quest for knowledge. Magnus is sure that he knows better than the Emperor – but isn't that what caused Horus to fall as well?

The story

Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Thousand Sons Legion retreat to their homeworld of Prospero to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret. When the ill-fated primarch foresees the treachery of Warmaster Horus and warns the Emperor with the very powers he was forbidden to use, the Master of Mankind dispatches fellow primarch Leman Russ to attack Prospero itself. But Magnus has seen more than the betrayal of Horus – and the witnessed revelations will change the fate of his fallen Legion, and its primarch, forever.

The betrayal of the 1000 sons is a sad but brilliant tail. This book is an important part of the heresy which should be listened too.
A great well done action packed story.

An epic story

Even though the main characters are walking titans and demi-gods, this book's characters are all too human in their flaws and strengths. This makes for a compelling tale about power, pride and betrayal. Riveting and heartbreaking story. A must listen for any would-be adept of Prospero.

A Very Human Tragedy

Excellent book. I found the narration let it down a bit, not for lack of effort just an unsuitable voice for big boi space marines and a beastly Primarch.

An amazing story about a great tragedy.

A very well written and narrated Audiobook, most of which I thoroughly enjoyed. A few times things got a little slow but overall this was very much overshadowed by the rest of this great book. I couldn't stop listening to it. Definitely worth the purchase!

This does the Thousand Sons Justice

I found the story engaging but the narrator spoke with too much excitement which was tiring and detracted from comprehending what was said in a meaningful way

excellent story, over zealous narrating

Great story and a good addition to a fascinating series. Unfortunately ruined by a poor performance thag utterly fails to bring any characters or personality to the story. Couldn't get through it all due to monotonous tone and the lack or distinction in character voice.

Shame
