Publisher Description
Now that news of Horus's treachery is in the open, a time of testing has come. Some Legions have already declared their allegiance to the Warmaster, while the loyalty of others lies firmly with the Emperor. As Horus deploys his forces, loyalist Astartes learn that a massive Wordbearers fleet is heading to Ultramar, home of the Ultramarines. Unless they can intercept the fleet, and destroy the mighty battleship that has been sent to reinforce it, the Ultramarines may suffer a blow from which they will never recover.

POWERFUL
I have read all the first eight novels, including, BATTLE FOR THE ABYSS. I throughly enjoyed this book. The characters are well written, and I was entertained, when the four legions came together for a cause. Ben Counter writes an excellent book. If you enjoyed, GALAXY IN FLAMES, you will like this. A side story to the Horus Hersey, but worth the read.
Good but Forgettable
I enjoyed the variety of characters and legions and thought it was a great book and cool story. Unfortunately it’s so stand alone and has such a firm ending I’d forgotten about after reading just one more 40k book.
Wow
No question - the worst book in the Horus Heresy series, and one of the worst books the Black Library has ever published (that's really saying something).
Terrible plot, pacing, characterization, action... Did I forget anything? If I wasn't such a completionist with the HH novels I would have tossed it in the trash. You can actually completely skip this book without missing anything in the series, in fact I recommend you do so.
