Mark of Calth

The Horus Heresy, Book 25

The Heresy came to Calth without warning. In just a few hours of betrayal and bloodshed, the proud warriors of the XIIIth Legion - Guilliman's own Ultramarines - were laid low by the treachery of their erstwhile brothers of the XVIIth.

Now, as the planet is scoured by solar flares from the wounded Veridian star, the survivors must take the fight to the remaining Word Bearers and their foul allies or face damnation in the gloomy arcology shelters beneath the planet's surface.

In the novella-length Calth That Was, Graham McNeill highlights the fateful encounter that will alter the destiny of Captain Ventanus and shape the face of the Ultramarines Chapter for 10,000 years to come. The battle for Calth is far from over.

Slow Start but Great Ending

It was slow to start, with the first half of the book being pretty average, but the second half was filled with some riveting stories, and the final story in particular was fantastic.

pretty good

Early stories are boring, after The underground war it really picks up. unmarked is incredible

Just okay

Honestly this book just felt empty and didn't add to the HH plot much. you won't miss anything if you skip this

nice antology

these antologies are a big hard sometimes and the first time around i didnt enjoy it very much but second time around it was much Better

Great follow up to 'Know No Fear'

'Know no Fear' is a great anthology of stories taking place in the aftermath of the betrayal at Calth as remnants of the Ultramarines and Word Bearers fight for scraps in the tunnels below. A good variety of stories and perspectives with perhaps a little too much of the Word Bearers. Look, they're fine, but you can only see someone get taken in by the same con so many times before it gets old. But still worth it. Especially loved the last two stories.
