Description de l’éditeur
With the noble Emperor Sanguinius ruling from Macragge, Imperium Secundus stands as a lone beacon of hope even as the Warmaster’s forces continue to ravage the rest of the galaxy. Roboute Guilliman, still Master of Ultramar, has convinced his brother that Terra has fallen and that the mysterious Mount Pharos on Sotha now holds the key to mankind’s future. But the Night Lords, those cruel and pitiless sons of Konrad Curze, have been watching from the shadows, and make ready to launch their long-planned attack on the Pharos itself…
Read it because
Long-running plot threads tie together in a new full-length Horus Heresy novel. Roboute Guilliman's new Imperium faces its first test as the Night Lords, scattered after the events of Prince of Crows, attack in force. And of course, Curze is still around... the scene with him and Sanguinius facing one another is a Heresy fan's dream come true.

Guy Haley re-energizes the Horus Heresy
I had never read anything from Guy haley up to this point (or if I have I have forgotten about it). I had been disappointed in a number of HH books for quite some time as all they seem to be doing is dragging a 7 year war out longer than the actual war itself (and gouging Black Library readers with ever increasing e-book costs). I approached the latest in the series with something akin to a feeling of “blah, how many marines blowing each other to bits and oaths of the moment are we going to see in this one?”
To my surprise I got a tremendous work that I had trouble putting down. Without giving too much away, several of my favourite Primarchs are explored in greater depth, their sons have intelligence, wit and feelings over and above their penchant to kill (yes even the maniacal Night Lords). I finished it in just under a week and would have been done sooner if not for work. My only complaint was it was a bit too long but then when the writer loves his craft who really cares?
This book is on par with anything Wraight or Abnett has penned and finally seems to be setting us up for the closing moments of the Heresy. Buy with confidence and enjoy!
