The Silent War

The Horus Heresy, Book 37

While loyalist and traitor forces clash on a thousand battlefields across the galaxy, a very different kind of war is being fought in the shadows - a war of subtlety and subterfuge, unknown to many, but one that surely holds the key to victory for either side.

Rogal Dorn and his Legion prepare to defend the Solar System against the armies of Warmaster Horus, even as Malcador the Sigillite charges his many agents and spies with missions of the utmost secrecy. The future of the Imperium is being shaped by unseen hands....

Collection of absolutely bangers

I always enjoy Jonathan Keeble's narration, so I was looking forward to that in this collection. He did great as always (though his volume range is not ideal for listening while drifting off to sleep, which is my primary way of consuming these books).

this collection of short stories wraps up several other Horus Heresy threads that I didn't expect to follow up on and they're all very satisfying in my opinion. this is not one that I would recommend listening to out of order. you should wait to enjoy it after reading the books that came out before to fully appreciate them.

great story

awesome story and all if the short stories made it even better. Would recommend only if you know everyone involved with the Hersey...

silent war

good book but short stories with no clear link to the main story line of the other books l.

So much critical lore!

I’m not usually a fan of the anthologies, but this is one of the best books in the series. Lots of critical background…and as always…more questions. Two stories about Loken!

Some good moments but mostly drudge.

The moments with Malcador were top notch, I guess I should praise BL writers for their attention to detail covering stuff that should in many cases have been covered twenty or more books ago. Thankfully we’re getting it now, what would I have done if I didn’t know the details of the space wolves sent to observe the Night Lords?
