Publisher Description
A Horus Heresy Novel
Horus has revealed his dark plans, but nobody is prepared for just how far he will go. The force sent to end the Warmaster's rebellion doesn't realise they are heading towards a slaughter unlike anything the galaxy has seen.
READ IT BECAUSE
It's the deepest exploration so far of one of the most horrific battles of the Horus Heresy. You may know what happened during the Dropsite Massacre, but you don't know it all. It's far worse than you thought as the treachery is revealed.
THE STORY
Horus has rebelled against the Emperor by purging his and his brother’s Legions, but what was supposed to be a secret act of murder has been revealed. In the Emperor’s name, Rogal Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite dispatch the largest force of legionaries and primarchs ever assembled to end Horus’ rebellion before it can begin.
But the loyalists, on their way to enact vengeance, do not know the depth of the betrayal they face. They will not be the perpetrators of a massacre, but its victims. The last hope of returning to the Great Crusade and the unity of the Imperium will die in the dust of Isstvan V, and those who survive will live in a new age of darkness.
Written by John French.
Customer Reviews
Superb. If a little late…
A superb book, which - really - should have been published around 2016-18. French has become a very good HH author, and from his work on Siege of Terra, really has risen to a pinnacle of dramatic writing with this book. It threads many of the gaps, provides plenty of character-driven scenes and deals well with the fact that we all know how the story ends with plenty of colour. So, from a veteran of the HH series (who was here for Book 1), I am pleased to thoroughly recommend this entry. Enjoy.
