Summary
The Horus Heresy Book 54
For long years, the Horus Heresy has ground on. Now, the Death Guard have been sent to begin the final battle. But Mortarion and his sons must face their gravest challenge first - for Nurgle has claimed them as his own, and he will not be denied....
After 54 books, the best-selling series is finally drawing to a close with a long-awaited story - the fall of the Death Guard into Nurgle's embrace as they make their way to start the Siege of Terra.
The skies darken over Terra as the final battle for the Throne looms ever closer.... As the Traitor primarchs muster to the Warmaster’s banner, it is Mortarion who is sent ahead as the vanguard of the Traitor forces. But as he and his warriors make way, they become lost in the warp and stricken by a terrible plague. Once thought of as unbreakable, the legendary Death Guard are brought to their knees. To save his Legion, Mortarion must strike a most terrible bargain that will damn his sons for eternity. Meanwhile, in the cloisters of Holy Terra, a plot is afoot to create sedition and carnage in advance of the Horus’ armies. Taking matters into his own hands, Malcador the Sigillite seeks to put a stop to any insurrection but discovers a plot that he will need all of his cunning and battle-craft to overcome.

Great stuff if you love the Death Guard
Fast moving Mortarion/Death Guard Origin story tied into the calm before the storm hits Terra. As usual Jonathan Keeble does a great job of narrating and it is a solid if not spectacular job by James Swallow.

Grandfathers blessings + knights errant
Pleasantly surprised how well performed. Nurgle is love, Nurgle is life.
interesting to see the origins of the Grey Knights as well as the death Death Guard. on to more of the black library's collection

My my, what an ending
The end of the Heresy series is somewhat slow, cautious at first, dealing with Mortarion's history as much as his current role in preparing for the Siege of Terra. Its a long read but worthwhile, and after years of waiting we're finally given the coda to Flight of the Eisenstein. Don't go in expecting a series of battles and clever set-ups: this book is a fitting reward for those who've invested the years reading one of the greatest sci-fi series ever written. Slow burn, but worth savouring.

Mortarion is a beast!
The narrator was more than compitant. It was easy to differentiate between the characters. I enjoyed learning so much new lore. If I have a critique, it's the lack of Primarch combat. overall a sound novel.

simply amazing
The story , the narration , the pace everything is perfectly aligned for the final book of the hours heresy, the story revolves around Mortarion and Typhus along side a great side plot of malcador and his knights errant, we learn about the reapers past and why he hates the emperor and the complex relationship between him Typhus before the emperor came to barbarus and how the whole legion falls to chaos, worth the token and any serious GW fan or reader of HH needs this book

Great!
Surprisingly sympathetic take on a traditionally unsympathetic faction. Great Nurgle voices too by the narrator!

Probably my favourite so far..
So I’m not a massive Warhammer fan. I used to play when I was a kid but recently got into the The Horus Heresy series. I didn’t really understand it as a kid and I was only interested in gaming but it is surely one of the best sci fi series out there.
Some of the audiobooks have been great.. some not so much. This was my favourite so far and is up there with Horus Rising in my opinion.
I was never really a fan of Mortarion but his back story is a great read and probably my favourite parts of the book. Some people complain about the events on Terra not really being important but I disagree and think it adds to the story.
The Narrator definitely earns his pay in this one.
