By: John French

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

The Siege of Terra Book 1

After years of devastating war, Horus and his forces have arrived at Terra. But before they can set foot on the Throneworld, they must first break the defences of the Sol System.

Powerful fleets and cunning defences bar their path - but can anything hope to halt the advance of the Traitor armada?

Listen to it because:

The final act of the long-running, best-selling series starts here, with a brutal and uncompromising look at the first stage of the Siege of Terra, the war to conquer the solar system. Armies will fall, heroes will rise and legends will be written....

The Story

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance.

But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there.

To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.

excellent!

keeble does a great job, as usual, with a good story to explore. the result end result is a fantastic start to the ending we're all waiting for!

Very well done

The writing was excellent and even poetic at times. The voice performance was captivating, with changes in pacing, volume, and tone accentuating the emotion of the moment. Im going to find more books written and perfommed by these two.

What You See Is What You Get

I enjoy(ed) the Horus Heresy series. This is more of the same. Great climax. Station.

Beginning of the end.

A great first step in final series of the Horus Heresy. A lot of characters from previous books returned. Starts out a little slow but picks up after a few chapters.

A great start

Johnathan Keeble is spectacular. If you've any knowledge of the Horus Heresy you should be proper emotional by the end of this. Especially with how and why certain characters stories end.
