After seven long years of conflict, the Horus Heresy nears its end. But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty. Cthonia, a world once dominated by brutal murder-gangs, is occupied by the Emperor’s praetorians—the indomitable Imperial Fists. For the Sons of Horus, this outrage demands a reckoning.

Histoire
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

The Night Lords were once among the most potent forces of the Imperium, Space Marines who used fear itself as their weapon. Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders.

Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night. But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

Start here if you want to dive into WH40K lore.
Doesn’t overwhelm but covers many aspects of the WH40K Universe. Excellent starting point with an amazing story. Once you fall in love with Xenos (not in the heretical way!) you’ll be greeted to 3 more amazing books in Malleus, Hereticus, and The Magos.

Started my WH Addiction
Xeno’s is a great introduction into the 40k universe. It reminds me of a detective novel where a simple case leads to a greater conspiracy.
Not only is this the only audiobook that I’ve listened to twice, but a year after purchasing I’ve listened to 29 Horus Heresy novels along with the complete Eisenhorn/ Ravenor series. This audiobook should come with a warning about addiction.

Inspired SciFi Adventure
I went into this book unfamiliar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I have never played the game and know few people who have. I am, however, a bit of a geek (enjoying Marvel/Star Wars/StarTrek), an RPG gamer, and a rabid consumer of Fantasy and SciFi books and movies. A friend recommended this Tetralogy from Dan Abnett as an excellent introduction to the universe ruled by the God-Emperor, powered by military tech, and populated with warring factions and species (organic and otherwise). It was good advice.
'Xenos' does not "assume" readers are newcomers to the Warhammer structure nor does it talk down to readers, but it lays out most of the basic framework very effectively. I think I get it. This novel introduces factions within the Imperium, the forces of Chaos/Daemons, and Xenos. It inspired me to go on YouTube to educate myself more.
Abnett's tale has definite weaknesses and strengths: the plot is a little too heavy on the action end, for example (the pacing is slightly off).. but there is a significant dose of intrigue here as well. Characterization is quite good (Abnett populates the Inquisitor's entourage with psychers, cyborgs, and warriors).. but dialogue is cookie-cutter predictable at times. The Producers (Black Library) compare Eisenhorn to a 'James Bond'-type character and that's pretty accurate.. there is definitely an occasionally clichéd Superspy feel to the narrative.
The reading from Toby Longworth is impressive. He has an excellent sense of the tone/timbre/cadence/pacing needed to carry this story through. Furthermore, Longworth exhibits great emotiveness and his voice-acting is exemplary: every character is instantly recognizable and the various voices employed feel spot-on. I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this performance is in my Top 10.
This genuinely entertaining SciFi chronicle is action-packed, well-written, edifying, and performed marvellously. It easily rates 9/10.
[I personally won't be continuing with the series - my reading list is simply too long and the subject matter is just a little too sophomoric for my tastes - but I will likely revisit it someday. You are certainly justified in moving forward with the 'Eisenhorn' series. Don't hesitate to spend the Credit]
