Publisher's summary

After a long and gruelling conflict, the traitors at last close upon Terra. But time is dwindling for an attack.

Both Guilliman and the Lion are returning with all haste, and their armies could turn the tide. The hosts of the Warmaster must unite, for only then can they attack the Throneworld itself. While Mortarion is sent on ahead as the fleet’s vanguard, it falls to Lorgar and Perturabo to marshal Fulgrim and Angron, both now elevated to daemonhood and perhaps beyond even the will of the Warmaster to command. But Horus lies wounded, and, as the greatest battle the galaxy has ever know looms, it is up to Maloghurst to hold his fractious Legion together and to wrench Horus himself from the edge of oblivion.

Well Written, Well Read

No complaints. This was a darn good Horus Heresy entry from beginning to end. Its importance might be tantamount to the first 4 novels.

Amazing Novel

This book definitely was what it was supposednto be. the culmination of the Horus Heresy and the gravity it brought to the mustering of the traitor legions right before there assualt on Holy Terra. The interactions between all the Primarchs alone was worth it.

so awesome

I've been waiting for this book to come out for months. Not only was it worth the wait, it was better than I could have imagined. If you skip to the end if the series this one is still a must!

To Terra

Pretty good overall. Jumps around a lot but that is to be expected considering all of the story lines. Great narration as always. Full if traitor filth, deffinate prelude to the end.

poor Lorgar

I really don't like what they did to Lorgar's character. they made him out to be a scheming fool.

One of my new favorite books

It's really hard to write this review because this book was so fantastic. I can't cover just one subject but I will try I think the character development with some of lead best I've ever heard or read or listen to any type of literature the author really goes above and beyond showing who these characters are what their motivations are and how they stand and where they stand it's beautifully done.
