Publisher's summary

Siege of Terra Book 8, Part 2

Volume II picks up right where the first left off, with cataclysmic events building up to an epic conclusion that will shake the very galaxy to its core.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The final battle aboard the Warmaster’s flagship has begun in earnest, as Sanguinius defies his fate and the Dark Gods in an attempt to end his brother’s life, and the war along with it.

THE STORY

Terra is besieged. The outcome of the war lies on a knife edge. The Warmaster Horus’ bloody seven-year crusade has led to this – the cradle of humanity, where he is to kill his father, the Emperor.

With the war at this critical juncture, Sanguinius, primarch of the loyalist Blood Angels, braves the horrors of the Warmaster’s flagship, The Vengeful Spirit, with a single purpose in mind – to slay his brother Horus, decapitate the Heresy once and for all, and stop the forces of Chaos from taking Terra.

But at the whim of a Warmaster fallen so far from grace, the Dark Gods will not make Sanguinius’ task easy. As the war edges towards its explosive, bloody conclusion, events are about to unfold that could either save humanity or plunge it headlong into an eternity of darkness.

A peculiar use of Divinty

I loved the narration, as always, though the crucial arc of the storyline flops. I stopped the book at that point and set it down. It took me a bit to continue but happy I did.

SANGUINIUS - Needed more time

A good (run-on) story but a few core concepts were shaky.

It ended on a cliffhanger. Again. I feel like I'm being toyed with now.

Get on with it.

Overall good, especially the last 3rd but it take far to long & needed less malcador dramatically explaining events againt & again, more focus on everything happening on vengeful spirit. way to much padding but still a fun read.

Brilliant 👏

It's just an amazing book. Left me speechless on many occasions, and I can't wait for the next volume, even though I wish it wasn't the end of the heresy.

the end and the death.... but is it though?

I like the story here but it's very drawn out. definitely stretched to fill a trilogy

Phish said it best: “you’ll never get out of this maze…”

If you are about to purchase this book, then you don’t need to be convinced by me.

Such a fun story!

I really love having listened to a good chunk of the Horus Heresy how I can pick out little things that feed into this series. it isn't critical that you listen to them first but just delectable morsels sprinkled throughout. I wanted to go back and re-listen to this prior to the Volume III and I am glad I did.

Slow first half but excellent 2nd half and ending

The first half is slow but it picks up about halfway through and ends very well. If you have really enjoyed the siege of terra series then you will very much enjoy this book as well. I put it mid to high in the series.Narrator is perfection.
