Publisher's summary

Terra stands upon the brink of Unity. The armies of the self-proclaimed Emperor of Mankind have waged their bloody wars to bring the whole planet under his rule, crushing all traces of outlawed religion and worship from the face of this now secular utopia.

But even the mighty Thunder Warriors cannot cow Uriah Olathaire, last priest of the Church of the Lightning Stone, as he goes about his empty, hollow rituals - and only one last and thoroughly unexpected visitor can bring any hope of a possible reconciliation.

Great insight to the mind of the Emperor...

This title was a great insight to the Emperor's purpose. The final unification of Terra before beginning the Great Crusade.

Thought-provoking and magnificent

Graham McNeill is proving to be one of the best the Black Library has to offer. I absolutely loved the way he set the scene of the confrontation of this war of words between the priest of The Last Church on Terra and the mysterious stranger who calls upon him.

As an atheist, I can’t help but identify with The Emperor’s views of religion and will admit to a certain relish at the idea of its eradication. However, McNeill perfectly captures the sinister and apocalyptic undertones inherent in the desire to follow such a being. The complexity of the Emperor’s character snd motivations are captured wonderfully here, as well as the intriguing contradictions of his quest to illuminate humanity with rationality, pursued with the zeal and conviction of a man on a Great Crusade. All of this of course perfectly captured by the excellent Jonathan Keeble.

Don’t miss this one, it was a treat.
