JUST EXCEPTIONAL!!!

I know people are gonna read the blurb and think badly of the audio because it isn't expressly on the Primarchs and Astartes... but it's these side books that add colour and depth to the Heresy... where a five minute jump to a secret conversation adds a whole dimension to the unravelling of events... and we are now starting to see and hear about the changes in Horus and his Legion...

And then there is the Narrator, J-wow Keeble!!! This guy is so good I almost want to immediately re-listen to the book, buuuuut I'm so amped I now need to go on to the next!!! If you take one thing away from this, listen to it for the Keebster!!!

People like him and the others I've written reviews on really bring the Warhammer universe to life and Emperor be praised... Go team go!!!

Now back to my crusade to listen to em all!!! Next stop: Lorgar...

Break-neck pace with unsatisfactory conclusion

Brief elements of interest. Would have made a better foundation for a sub-series perhaps

guns and death, lots of both

I always loved the assassins in the game so was keen to see what they got up to in the books. this doesnt disappoint. the characters are easy to understand and quick to be introduced. the plans unfold, problems occur and they develop new plans. its loads of fun throughout and the villain "Spear" is amazing. the very ending is a bit lame but if you know anything about the horus heresy then the ending could only be how it was. the narrator had enough voices to add depth to each person without them all becoming the same. really enjoyable.

Enjoyable, but don’t think about it.

Interesting glimpse at Terra and great development of the mood of ordinary civilians.

However, too many characters, brutal jumps between viewpoints (probably less harsh in non-audio format), and characters stupidly jumping to stupid conclusions only for those stupid conclusions to manifest anyway for no good reason pulls you out of it a bit.

The narrator also loves to start shouting to inform you that action is happening, but is otherwise solid as ever.

Enjoyable enough, just don’t think about it too much.

Interesting early war novel

Some nice ideas and good clade actions worth a listen and more proof Erebus is the real bad guy

Heresy in safe hands

This book continues the breath taking Horus Heresy and doesn't disappoint. The view of opposition to Horus makes you question who is the enemy... as with all things its a matter of perspective... some nicely handled story threads you through to an exciting last few chapters.

Horus Heresy at its best

Assassin group hunting Horus and a monster made to hunt the Emperor makes for an interesting power struggle between the two leaders.
