Publisher's Summary

The Great Crusade that has taken humanity into the stars continues. The Emperor of Mankind has handed the reins of command to his favoured son, the Warmaster Horus. Yet all is not well in the armies of the Imperium.

Horus is still battling against the jealousy and resentment of his brother primarchs, and when he is injured in combat on the planet Davin, he must also battle his inner daemon. With all the temptations that Chaos has to offer, can the weakened Horus resist?

Absolutely fantastic!

This is the second 40K audiobook I’ve purchased, and I’ve been listening to them almost non-stop. The stories are fantastic, the writing quality is compelling and brilliant, and the narrator is among the best I’ve ever heard! I can’t recommend these books strongly enough.

easy to like

It's a grim good time and solid continuation to the first book.
I was just hoping for a little more from the corruption and downfall of a certain important character. The pacing of that felt off and it seemed to happen a little abruptly. I wanted to see more of the nobility and good side of Horus to highlight the contrast to what he starts to become.

Besides that though the writing and narration do a good job capturing atmosphere and the intensity of the growing darkness for the direction things are going.
The action and cosmic horror are strong points again.
Toby Longworth is excellent at his job of narration. His voice suits this series very well.

On the side of the story or on the side of the voice acting, as it was in the first book, perfect !

Excellent introduction to the series

If you’re planning on reading any books in the series the first five books are essential reading. Luckily they are all quite good, though this introduction does stand above the others. Really gives a good sense of the difference between the humans and Astartes. Does a great job developing Loken as a character and builds suspense for what is to come. If you have any interest in the deeper 40k mythology you could do worse than starting here.
