Story
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

For Ianthe, war is all too familiar. A former soldier in the Astra Militarum, she now serves Inquisitor Covenant as an agent of the Throne. Her first mission sees her investigating a cult called the Children of Eternity. Falling foul of the local Enforcers, Ianthe soon learns that war in the shadows is seldom straightforward and that the local, angry law-keepers are the least of her troubles.

Story
Supreme Grand Master Azrael summons Lazarus and his Fifth Company to honour an old debt on the Knight world of Reis – a planet upon which the warp has set its hungry gaze. But Lazarus is not so sure Reis wants to be saved – its Knights are long lost, its governance is dogged by political strife, and internecine conflict hampers the world’s defence against an ancient evil. An evil which, like Lazarus himself, refuses to die.

Story
The Night Lords were once among the most potent forces of the Imperium, Space Marines who used fear itself as their weapon. Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark, bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

I cannot say enough good words about this book. The performance is absolutely spot on, and had me enthralled from the very beginning to the end. ADB is an absolute master of the genre, and this is a great example of his work.

ADB's Heretical Masterpiece
Hands down the best 40k book in history. It explores characters and a setting we only see as images of screaming madmen and hellscapes to expand them into believable things with such charming clarity. This goes beyond brilliant character development and into a masterclass on making the "bad guy" the one you root for.

Incredible, A different look at chaos
As the title suggests, its a different look at chaos, not so much blood, guts and frothing demons but the intellectual side of it. This isnt the story of a madman that loves to kill, but one that was betrayed into it,. a great read/listen

Incredible imagination!
It is difficult to write a good villain. It takes true mastery to write an anti-hero that readers will absolutely love. Jonathan has managed to do just that. In a book packed with imaginative horrors that show up as beauty, dangerously broken characters that have real emotions, intelligence and empathy, the reader can't help but be drawn into seeing the "big bad guys" (and two gals) of the 40k universe as relatable. They see themselves as heroes. They have plausible reasons for acting as they do. And they will drag you into their story with glee.
If I had one gripe, its that there two sections in the novel - both battle scenes - that were narrated in passing, rather than being teased out. This was an artistic choice. The narrator of the story holds little value in the 'honour of war' seeing its acts of carnage as just 'work'. But the vouristic reader (or at least me) craved a little more detail.
In terms of performance, my wife (not a 40k fan) loved listening to it with me, describing it as 'radio play quality' from her childhood. It's really that good.

Fantastic Intro to the Series
This is a fantastic story, absolutely dripping with atmosphere. It felt exactly how a story about the Legions of Chaos should, chocked full of heracy, daemons and in-depth, chilling descriptions
The reader's voice matches perfectly with the setting and the main character, Ishkander. However their voices for the other characters seem a little out of place at times, and their deep voice can make it hard to hear if you're doing something noisy, like driving.
