Customer Reviews
Epic beginnings
Epic start to the Horus heresy. However I did feel the authors writing was disjointed and slightly confusing at times - I also feel he switches too often between first and surname which further served to confuse matters - however, the book was still amazing and I couldn't put it down - bravo
Must Read!
This book is quite simly, amazing. Dan lavishly details the galaxy and setting, giving infinite desricption to the places, people and events in the time of Horus's darkest hour. This book is a must read for 40k fans every where!
Horus Heresy vs John Warhammer
Why wasn’t the Emperor suspicious of Horus’ betrayal earlier when his surname is Heresy?
