Now that news of Horus' treachery is in the open, a time of testing has come. Some Legions have already declared their allegiance to the Warmaster while the loyalty of others lies firmly with the Emperor. As Horus deploys his forces, loyalist Astartes learn that a massive Wordbearers fleet is heading to Ultramar, home of the Ultramarines.

Unless they can intercept the fleet and destroy the mighty battleship that has been sent to reinforce it, the Ultramarines may suffer a blow from which they will never recover.

Look, out of all the HH books I’ve read to this point this has been by far the most skippable.

The two biggest issues that come to mind are that 1) The story has no relevance to the overarching story, this doesn’t have to matter at all but, 2) The story I found was incredibly uninteresting, the characters felt static and the plot was a very long game of cat and mouse that didn’t change till the last hour of the book. In comparison to something like Fulgrim, that showed the Emperors Children’s downfall and how every character in the book evolved with the circumstances and even ended on a sad but enjoyable ending.

All in all, good voice acting but weak story.
