The Damnation of Pythos

The Horus Heresy, Book 30

De: David Annandale

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

In the aftermath of the Dropsite Massacre at Isstvan V, a battered and bloodied force of Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Salamanders regroups on a seemingly insignificant death world.

Fending off attacks from all manner of monstrous creatures, the fractious allies find hope in the form of human refugees fleeing from the growing war and cast adrift upon the tides of the warp. But even as the Space Marines carve out a sanctuary for them in the jungles of Pythos, a darkness gathers that threatens to consume them all.

Iron Hands = Jerks

If the goal was to have the reader dislike the Iron Hands, this book definitely succeeded!

A prologue story

A prologue story for a future villain. You do get another glimpse of post-Istvaan Iron Hands.

Great Ironhands book

I thought this was a well written book. A lot of one liners and aphorisms stuck out to me. The story takes no partiality with anyone. The emperor protects!

Slow start. Worth it

This book has a very slow burn to it. I almost gave up on it at the beginning of act 3. Then it picked way up at the climax. Ended up being a great story about the heresy.

honor virtue and what lay between

a story exploring the consequences that occur when immovable principles clash and the tragedy of naiveté in a reality that is uncaring. lol... boltgun go bRRRRR

amazing and long

loooooong book but it was worth it and amazing. A full fledged mini account of demons.

All good

narrator was great. great interpretation of the story the desperate ending was sublime indeed. ten out of ten.

Great!

a very good book protraying the iron hands and how their legion deals with things after the fall of Ferrus Manus.

Message

This book started out good. I understand why some gave it bad reviews because we didn’t get a conclusion or even an idea of what could come nextWhat was the damn message at the end? It could have been demon but who knows. Still was a good HH book though.

An alright story. Neither great, nor terrible.

A hum-drum story well performed. There are worse 40k novels, and there are better. Like an OK action movie on TNT on a Saturday afternoon.
