A Horus Heresy Collection

The Horus Heresy is a civil war on a scale the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before. After the Great Crusade united the disparate worlds of humanity, the very warriors who made it possible turned on each other and tore it apart. This war was not only fought on a galactic scale – it was contested a million times over in brutal battles between former brothers and allies.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The chaos of the onset of the Horus Heresy left every Legion reeling as they grappled with what it all meant. Many of them were on their own campaigns when the war broke out, unable to shift their focus without tying up loose ends first. This collection focuses on the primarchs, cultures, and philosophies of the Imperial Fists, White Scars, and Night Lords – and gives you a view into what makes each Legion unique.

THE STORY

The Crimson Fist joins the Imperial Fists fleet in the backwater Phall system, becalmed by the warp storms that waylaid them so many months ago. Under the assumed command of Captain Alexis Polux and seemingly forgotten by the rest of the Imperium, they hope yet to complete their mission, report back to their primarch Rogal Dorn, and return to the greater conflict. But destiny calls as old rivalries are rekindled, and the treacherous Iron Warriors await their moment to strike. The feud between Dorn and his wayward brother Perturabo promises now to erupt into open war.

As word of Horus's treachery spreads to fully half of the Legiones Astartes, Terra looks to the remaining loyalist Space Marines to defend the Imperium. Brotherhood of the Storm tells the story of the one group that has remained curiously silent – Jaghatai Khan's fearsome White Scars. In the ork-held territory of Chondax, a bitter war has been raging since the Triumph at Ullanor, and only now do the sons of Chogoris return their gaze to the heavens…

Prince of Crows follows the inevitable conclusion of the Thramas Crusade as the Dark Angels and Night Lords are locked in a struggle neither side can abandon. The Night Haunter lies comatose after being mauled by his primarch brother Lion El'Jonson, and in his absence, it falls to Sevatar and the remaining members of the Kyroptera to command the Legion. The self-styled 'Prince of Crows' has his own plans to save the Night Lords from annihilation – plans he intends to follow, with or without his comrades in tow.

Another amazing collection. Except the scars one

Loved the first and last one. But for some reason the narrator and to some extent the author of the scars novel (this isn’t the only one), somehow thinks trans human super men, with super brains, end up speaking gothic with very pronounced accents and syntax mistakes. Yes I know this is a very nerdy critique, and I realize it’s an over the top universe.. but the way the scars language is portrayed and acted is just too immersion breaking for me. Couldn’t finish that one.

But the last novella, about the Conrad’s crew, yeah that was amazing. Best one of the bunch by far. Really enjoyed it.
