A Siege of Terra Anthology

Horus is dead. His Heresy is over. The scars of mankind’s great schism will never fully heal. For those left behind, a new Era of Ruin is dawning, promising both new beginnings and fresh peril for an Imperium riven by trauma and war.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

This is the final instalment of the Horus Heresy – but that was just the beginning of a much darker tale which will be 10,000 years in the telling. These short stories show us glimpses of the stories that spun out of the Siege of Terra as the fledgling Imperium put together the pieces after the galaxy-shattering destruction, and those who fought on both sides, as they try to move on from the unthinkable events of the bloody conflict.

THE STORY

In Chris Wraight’s Homebound, Ilya Ravallion must choose between the decimated White Scars and living out what remains of her life in peace. An embattled Ahzek Ahriman must race against time to learn what he can of the warp before its gates close to him forever in Ex Libris by John French.

Featuring tales from Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Guy Haley and many more, this anthology follows mighty Custodians, scheming sorcerers, and the lowly footsoldiers of the Imperial Army as all negotiate the devastating aftermath of Humanity's greatest reckoning.

Great stories

Pretty much all great stories, wrapping up secondary character stories on terra, I feel like there are still a few that need an ending

true decay and sadness

you can feel the death of the imperium and how it's starting to decay, great stories. I would love to hear more from Diocletian, good to hear a custodes get pissed and almost tear a primarch a new one.

good clean up

filled in a few unanswered questions nothing crazy but good worth reading if you enjoyed the other books in the series.

Final book of HH. Perfection.

I made it. 60+ books. I did it! I am the warhammer 40,000

This was a good anthology all things considered.

loved to see the resolution of some stories

so many threads unresolved so many opportunities to finish stories like what happened to John gramaticus and other integral characters

The End And The Dawn

Collection of forgotten tales that deserve to be remembered. Ignore those who say that this is “dull” These stories contain something that most in this universe don’t. Heart where others are epic tales of battles for worlds, these tales are those of love and loss. Lamentations for what could’ve been and perhaps one day what could be again.  

Just another continuation of the End and the Death

A decent entry into the Horus heresy. There wasn’t much here to be fair. The story is more of what we’ve read before in the series.

Great Anthology

Some of the stories are a bit lackluster in their epic value that the siege brought. Though this was a great introduction into a new saga and opens up new storylines for ‘The Scouring’ to come and of the unknown gates of different Primarchs.

Odd choices but good regardless

some of the stories are better than others and there are characters and stories I'd rather have seen concluded, but there are definitely standouts here that are welcome additions to the end of the Siege of Terra.

Solidly OK

Some stories wrapped up threads left hanging while others were just interesting points of view. Not bad at all but don't expect anything mind blowing.
