Publisher's summary

As the flames of treachery spread throughout the Imperium, Horus plots to subvert or destroy all those who would stand against him.

On Mars, home world of the Mechanicum priesthood, the great manufactory-cities have long produced much of the weaponry required for the expeditionary fleets across the galaxy - making the world invaluable to whoever controls it in the coming war.

Now, the Warmaster's agents begin to stoke the fires of rebellion, turning the loyalist forges and the mighty Titan Legions against one another. And, with whispers spreading of an ancient terror lurking beneath the Red Planet's surface, the Dark Mechanicum rises....

Thank the God Emperor GW put this on Audiable!

I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. Definitely one of the stronger books in the series, even though I am not much of a Mechanicum fan. Correction, I wasn't much of a Mechanicum fan.

Great book! Mechanicum and Knight battles!

Great book from start to finish. This book does a great job detailing life on mars and how this race of humans separates themselves from Terra. Also if you love knight battles it is a must read!

One of the best stories in Horus heresy

A near perfect story of courage and heroism.

Graham’s great work narrated by Toby is a perfect match.

The War of the Mechanicum

This book was an outstanding piece of work. The story gripped me and refuse to let go as I listened while I went about my day. The mystery and war aspects of the book were amazing, not to mention the narrator voiced the characters beautifully. Highly recommended!

The narration is next level in this story

Not only is this a rivoting story but the reader brings it to life with their voice acting and range of emotions expressed! Definitely give this a listen if you love the Mechanius
