About this listen

After a long and gruelling conflict, the traitors at last close upon Terra. But time is dwindling for an attack.

Both Guilliman and the Lion are returning with all haste, and their armies could turn the tide. The hosts of the Warmaster must unite, for only then can they attack the Throneworld itself. While Mortarion is sent on ahead as the fleet’s vanguard, it falls to Lorgar and Perturabo to marshal Fulgrim and Angron, both now elevated to daemonhood and perhaps beyond even the will of the Warmaster to command. But Horus lies wounded, and, as the greatest battle the galaxy has ever know looms, it is up to Maloghurst to hold his fractious Legion together and to wrench Horus himself from the edge of oblivion.

Writing is reasonable, tendency to over describe scenarios but a great book if you’re interested in the culmination of the traitor legions and infighting.
Full of action and conflict and shows the traitor primarchs in their final mental states before the terra showdown.

Great slice of traitor legion scrapping

One of the very best. Always enjoy the imagination when these authors speak of the warp and it’s deity’s! Worth a listen or read!

Definitely a must listen audiobook. The traitor Primarchs and their legions, conspiring, fighting, in-fighting. Their advance on terror stalled and in threat with The Warmaster succumbing to his wound from Russ. A good twist with deception within the ranks. Keeble working his magic as always. Definitely recommended.

Great book with heaps of insight into how the traitor legions communicate and their monkey paw relationship with Chaos

Absolute banger

This was a pretty good listen, the book is split into three stories which follow three sets of characters. Some cool new lore for Chaos fans, good characters, id probably have given it a 5 but the story arcs felt a little dragged out in places.

Sets the scene for the invasion of Terra, finally. Enjoyed this book.

A sense of movement, finally!

I enjoyed the performances more than I thought. It has some really badass scenes of primarch vs primarch in it. It does jump around a lot with moments happening somewhere else then coming back and then switching back again, just a little confusing and hard to keep track.

The traitors at their most powerful.

Another well written horus heresy novel that hasn't been corrupted by David Annandale. Perfect execution.

Top quality on all fronts. I enjoyed every minute of this book, John French has his moments and this is definitely one of them.

Awesome

As per one of my previous reviews, French is quiet clearly a talented author. But, it’s just so hard to embrace his writing style. It’s always like he’s telling a story, without actually telling ‘the’ story. His writing is like the equivalent of Bolter Porn, there’s so much descriptive exposition that the story gets lost. Keeble is of course, as always... the man.

I want to like it
