Iconic Book in the Heresy

I found this book in the sci-fi aisle back in 2008 looking for a cool book that I would have to do a book report on(I was in middle school). The tantalizing black and gold cover caught my eye and even more so that incredibly hulking Space Marines on the cover art. Before that point I had never heard of the Warhammer universe let alone the Horus Heresy series. I purchased the book and read the entire thing from cover to cover in a few days. From then on I was absolutely fascinated with the 40k universe to include the video games and table top figures. The Heresy has continued with a boarderline overwhelming number of books to listen too but I have renewed my pursuit to finish the series through audible starting from book 1 as I do not have the patience for reading anymore. For the most part one could just read what is on the 40k Wiki website and know what happened in a general sense as I have done already. With that said although many of us know how everything plays out it does not take away any enjoyment from listening to or reading the books yourself at least not in my opinion. Fulgrim is an iconic book in the series and provides back story to all the future books and events. It is a must read for an Heresy fans. The voice acting is amazing minus the females parts which obviously males actors won't ever get right. Depending on which side you favor loyalist or traitor in the Heresy determines the emotions you will feel throughout the book and your connections with certain characters. I am a loyalist fanboy through and through so the events that take place towards the end of this book were dramatic and depressing a bit but nevertheless awesome to read! Since I read the book many years ago I forgot many minor events and interactions between characters and listening to it through audible made it even better then reading it myself. Being the first book I read in the 40k lore the Emperors Children will always be one of my favorite legions(prior to falling to choas) a long with the Iron Hands. Many fellow readers I have talked to find this book rather boring and long compared to other installments before and after but I deeply enjoyed every piece of it. I find it refreshing when the book isn't always being narrated about or from Astartes. Cannot reccomend this read enough, onto the next book!

solid title.

this was an intriguing look. into the emperors children, their primearch and excess they delight in.

The Fall of Fulgrim!

If you are a fan of the Emperor's Children and want to know more about how they turned from the Imperium, this is the novel for it. I quite enjoyed seeing the story advance beyond Isstvan III to the battle at Isstvan V. Don't even get me started on Fulgrim and Ferrus. Highly recommended for a heretical novel!

Holy Hell wtf was that

One of the stranger of the early Horus heresy books. As it follows the primarch fulgrim and his legion of space marines named the emperors children and their descent into daemonic madness. They’re are many sequences that are bizarre mainly ones that focus on the effects slanesshi demons have on regular people and the super human astartes. While slow in some sections in others it is so fast paced you’ll need a do over on what was just read especially during the drop site massacre

Poor little primarch

Fulgrim... I didn't know much about his turning but to think it happens the way it does. Man.. Thats tough I love the idea. Gonna be using it in my black crusade campaign =). And fabius bile, excellent.

Bad times keep rolling

Learning about the Primarch of the Emperor's Children gave me a different view of them. The story of how Fulgrim gave into Chaos was easy to understand, his obsession and insecurities are a great unravel.

the epic continues

loved this book. the story was told with such detail that it puts you in the middle of the action. you can see in your mind the story as it unfolds.

Tragedy

This may be the most depressing book of the Horus heresy so far, and I love it.

Fulgrim: "Perfectshuhhnn"

I love this series... every book has been amazing and I really enjoyed this one. Great narration, too.

Emperor's Brats

I had a hard time stomaching the insufferable Emperor's Children and their "perfection" but as the story went on things got more interesting and, dare I say, Chaotic.
