It is the 31st millennium. Under the benevolent leadership of the Immortal Emperor, the Imperium of Man has stretched out across the galaxy. It is a golden age of discovery and conquest. But now, on the eve of victory, the Emperor leaves the front lines, entrusting the great crusade to his favourite son, Horus. Promoted to Warmaster, can the idealistic Horus carry out the Emperor's grand plan, or will this promotion sow the seeds of heresy amongst his brothers? Horus Rising is the first chapter in the epic tale of the Horus Heresy, a galactic civil war that threatened to bring about the extinction of humanity.

Customer Reviews
Excellent.
Absolutely fantastic, not generally interested in the warhammer games or tabletop, but this is just a fantastic novel. I was glued from start to finish and am currently halfway through the next book. A must read.
Where it all began.
Second time reading this - more than a decade since I first picked it up. Just as brilliant as I remember and a must-read sci-fi novel.
Really enjoyed!
Just starting to get into the 40K books and thought this was a great place to start!
