Publisher's Summary

As the traitors tighten their grip on Terra, Rogal Dorn must marshal the Imperial hosts to weather the storm. But not all of the defenders will survive the onslaught....

Listen to it because:

Dan Abnett returns to the Horus Heresy! Experience one of the crucial stages of the Siege, as Rogal Dorn and Horus match wits in a game of Regicide where the board is the Throneworld itself, and one wrong move could lead to utter devastation....

The story:

The Traitor Host of Horus Lupercal tightens its iron grip on the Palace of Terra, and one by one the walls and bastions begin to crumple and collapse. Rogal Dorn, Praetorian of Terra, redoubles his efforts to keep the relentless enemy at bay, but his forces are vastly outnumbered and hopelessly outgunned. Dorn simply cannot defend everything. Any chance of survival now requires sacrifice, but what battles dare he lose so that others can be won? Is there one tactical stroke, one crucial combat, that could turn the tide forever and win the war outright?

An absolute masterpiece

The best in the entire HH and SoT series. Best in the whole 40k universe. An utterasterpiece of tension, strategy, war, and intrigue. The worst part was when the credits came

Best one yet in the seige series

I've enjoyed the seige series so far but this was a real step up from the last 3. Probably one of the best warhammer books out there.

Brilliant on all accounts

An unmissable book in the saga. Hope is all but lost. Soldiers fall. Heroes die. Walls crumble. Yet the loyalists fight on and exact a heavy toll on the traitors. Actions and revelations are also abound. Some seriously big questions are answered during this time of death and despair. Worth the listen without a doubt. Keeble at his best brings this novel by Dan Abnett home.

The best in the Siege of Terra series

It’s Brutal, majestic and easily the best story thus far in the Siege of Terra series.

Best book in the 'Siege of Terra' series by far!

So far the 'Siege of Terra' series has been a bit of a grinder, enjoyable at times but kind of just 'getting through' the doom and gloom for the sake of pushing through to the next book. Saturnine is by far and away the best entry to the series, it gives us much needed hope and is actually an incredibly enjoyable read!

Would heavily recommend this title to anyone questioning if they want to continue the SoT series!
