Publisher's Summary

It is the 31st millennium. Under the benevolent leadership of the Immortal Emperor, the Imperium of Man hasstretched out across the galaxy.

It is a golden age of discovery and conquest. But now, on the eve of victory, the Emperor leaves the front lines, entrusting the great crusade to his favourite son, Horus. Promoted to Warmaster, can the idealistic Horus carry out the Emperor's grand plan, or will this promotion sow the seeds of heresy amongst his brothers?

Outstanding introduction into The Heresy

A little more about Horus himself and his relationships would have gone a long way though, really build the focal character.

An epic of Sci fi

Always loved 40k lore. The narrator does a great job of building the atmosphere and the story is an epic tale

Great Starting point

Great read for someone trying to get into 40k lore. I thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the narrator's delivery.
