Shattered Legions

The Horus Heresy, Book 43

By: Dan Abnett, Chris Wraight, David Annandale, Gav Thorpe, Graham McNeill, John French, Nick Kyme, Guy Haley

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

Driven almost to the brink of self-destruction at Isstvan V, the Iron Hands now seek vengeance for the murder of their primarch Ferrus Manus.

Gathering survivors from the Raven Guard and the Salamanders aboard any vessels capable of warp travel, these Shattered Legions wage a new campaign of annihilation against the traitor forces across the galaxy - a campaign masterminded by legendary warleader Shadrak Meduson.

This Horus Heresy anthology contains 10 short stories by authors including Dan Abnett, Chris Wraight, John French and many more. Also, in the The Seventh Serpent, Graham McNeill revisits the ragtag crew of the starship Sisypheum as they are drawn into a war of subterfuge against the Alpha Legion.

Wow!

This was a pretty solid adventure into the 40k universe. I was blown away by the pacing of the story, before I noticed I was inching up on 30mins left and was lamenting the ride was nearly over. It doesn't have a strong focus on the rest of the Heresy series, it's more like a spotlight being shown on the survivors of the drop site massacre and the effects on the greater narrative. Still, it's become one of my favorite books in the series. Give it a read if you love the Iron Hands.

Great for Iron Hands Fans

I liked a lot of the stories in this book some weren't the best but everything was voice acted incredibly well and I was very entertained the entire time.

A Fine & Relevant Collection

As the name implies, this covers the legions shattered at the Drop Site Massacre and related stuff but in a series of short stories that are mostly unconnected. While it doesn't involve the Emperor going on about his life story or anything particularly profound, Shattered Legions does offer perspectives of the Iron Hands centrally, Raven Guard, Alpha Legion, and a bit of Horus' boys.

Certainly worth a listen.

nice series of self referencing stories

nice self encapsulated stories good if your looking for more 30k to fill an appetite.

The last story was the best

Great book for iron hands fans but the end was a great way to finish it for filling in gaps
