Publisher Description
Siege of Terra Book 8, Part 3
It all comes down to this final confrontation – the Emperor versus the Warmaster. The father versus the son. After 63 novels and a slew of short stories, omnibuses, audio dramas, and more – this is the End and the Death.
READ IT BECAUSE
The Horus Heresy series reaches its dramatic climax. After years of civil war, the Emperor and Horus clash aboard the Vengeful Spirit in an epic battle of blades, wits, and wills. See how the greatest conflict of the age plays out, and follow fan-favourite characters from across the saga as they desperately try to influence the outcome.
THE STORY
The Great Angel, Sanguinius, lies slain at his brother's hand. Terra burns as reality itself unravels, and the greatest bastion of civilisation teeters on the brink of annihilation.
Desperate defenders gather, banding against the rabid traitor hordes. The Hollow Mountain, host to the pilgrims of Euphrati Keeler, is one of the last redoubts held by the Dark Angels while the unclean host of Typhus lays siege. Malcador the Sigillite sits ablaze on the Golden Throne, trying to buy his master more time. But time is running out...
Guilliman races across the stars to reinforce the Throneworld. Will he return to ashes, where a Warmaster of Chaos has ascended to godhood, or will the Emperor have triumphed? And at what cost?
Written by Dan Abnett
Customer Reviews
A fitting conclusion
There is too much to say to describe this novel (especially without spoilers) but it is a fantastic book that keeps the major themes of Horus’s duel with the Emperor but does try to change the script a little. The Blood Angels experience with the Black Rage was perfectly done in my opinion and the blurbs about the Loyalist Resistance on Terra are done well as well. But this book is about the duel and it does deliver. The only gripes with this book I have are the cliffhanger it ends on and not seeing more of the scouring being set in motion. Presumably the latter will be rectified with a new book or series of books. I do wish the traitor Primarch’s got some screen time but it’s already a long book and I am sure Dan Annett had other topics on his mind
