The Siege of Terra Book 1

After years of devastating war, Horus and his forces have arrived at Terra. But before they can set foot on the Throneworld, they must first break the defences of the Sol System.

Powerful fleets and cunning defences bar their path - but can anything hope to halt the advance of the Traitor armada?

Listen to it because:

The final act of the long-running, best-selling series starts here, with a brutal and uncompromising look at the first stage of the Siege of Terra, the war to conquer the solar system. Armies will fall, heroes will rise and legends will be written....

The Story

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. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there.

To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.

Throne of Terra...

If that's just the beginning, then what's next?? Amazing. Jonathan Keeble blows it out of the water again.

amazing

absolutely loved it and the performance was fantastic! 5 stars all around. a must buy

A good start to the end of the Heresy

A great performance, however the scope of the novel felt too large until the last few chapters.

Meh

I feel it's a cop out to make Mercedes the scapegoat. Didn't like the twist. The primaries need to be held accountable, their blind allegiance and short sighted ignorance is unforgivable. And where the he'll are the Grey Knights, this is their bread and butter.

So, When Are They Going to Make a Movie?

Hello Netflix? Somebody?
Just outstanding!!! Full attention is required to get the most out of the story.
