The First Heretic

The Horus Heresy, Book 14

De: Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Narrado por: Gareth Armstrong

Amidst the galaxy-wide war of the Great Crusade, the Emperor castigates the Word Bearers for their worship.

Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined.

Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold, and their path to damnation begins. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy.

Best Horus Heresy Book Yet

Deep characters and amazing story telling. I loved this book from start to finish. I can't wait for the series to pick these characters back up.

One of best books in Series so far

Aghal Tar is the character that brought life to the Word Bearers legion.

The last moments of this book are a perfect cap on the events showing the legion has more depth than just being fanatics.

Essential piece of the series. Wonderful narration

This book tells one of the most essential tales about the Horus Heresy. The culture, philosophy, and mission of the Imperium are pushed to their breaking point, and then broken. Dembski-Bowden's The First Heretic has become one of my favorites in the series with wonderfully artistic writing and a strong set of fully rounded characters. Gareth Armstrong does an outstanding job narrating and he give texture to every character's voice. It's almost as if they're right there next to you.

Great story, excellent narration

An awesome telling of the events that predated and led up to the Horus Heresy. the Narration was spectacular, and I loved the story though at times could feel the author struggling with fitting the story to meet gw canon.
still, a must listen for 40k fans

Argeltal

Need more voice actors as one doing the impression of several is immersion breaking and confusing
