Publisher Description
A Horus Heresy Novel
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Legion retreat to their homeworld to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret.
READ IT BECAUSE
One of the most tragic tales of the entire Horus Heresy unfolds as the Thousand Sons are brought low by their relentless quest for knowledge. Magnus is sure that he knows better than the Emperor – but isn't that what caused Horus to fall as well?
THE STORY
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Thousand Sons Legion retreat to their homeworld of Prospero to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret. When the ill-fated primarch foresees the treachery of Warmaster Horus and warns the Emperor with the very powers he was forbidden to use, the Master of Mankind dispatches fellow primarch Leman Russ to attack Prospero itself. But Magnus has seen more than the betrayal of Horus – and the witnessed revelations will change the fate of his fallen Legion, and its primarch, forever.
Written by Graham McNeill.
Customer Reviews
Very good.
This book was found very interesting and helped me pick my team. The book is long and enjoyable which is how I like them. Plus, it gives me something to do in my spare time.
Best so far
If you're after the extended battle reports of some of the other Heresy novels (looking at you Dark Angels borefests...) this isn't for you. A much longer story than the others and more concerned with corruption and hubris - that makes much better reading than another 400 pages of body counts. When you find yourself cheering for the 'traitors' against all odds - that's probably a sign of a good writer.
