Publisher's Summary

After the betrayal at Isstvan, Horus begins his campaign against the Emperor, a galaxy-wide war that can lead only to Terra. But the road to the final confrontation between father and son is a long one - seven years filled with secrecy and silence, plans and foundations being formed across distant stars. 

An unknown history is about to be unveiled as light is shed on the darkest years of the Horus Heresy, and revelations will surface that will shake the Imperium to its very foundation....

Great Collection of Stories!

I was initially sceptical about these sort of novels in the series. Many of my favourite books are quite long and filled with so much detail and I was worried that this would be missed. Regrettably, I always find myself forgetting these stories compared to the "normal" installations BUT they are great nonetheless. Do not skip this book - it provides important information for the Horus Heresy story arc.

Missing core sections of the book.

It was a great experience, but I had to look up the book and read the misspelled sections for myself when I noticed that something didn't make sense.
