Vengeful Spirit

The Horus Heresy, Book 29

By: Graham McNeill

Narrated by: Gareth Armstrong

Once the brightest star in the Imperium and always first among his primarch brothers, Horus has dragged the Space Marine Legions into the bloodiest conflict that the galaxy has ever seen. While their allies wage war on a thousand different fronts, the XVIth Legion descend upon the Knight world of Molech - home to the ruling House Devine, and a principle stronghold of the Imperial Army.

The forces loyal to the Emperor stand ready to defy the Warmaster, but just what could have drawn Horus to attack such a well defended planet, and what might he be willing to sacrifice to fulfill his own dark destiny?

great!

Loved hearing Loken come back from the first couple of books and seeing how his character has been changed by what happened.

My favorite of the HH series

Really good insight into the Sons of Horus. I’m a fan of Chaos legion and a traitor at heart (death to the false emperor btw) it also had a badass war scene in it. If you like Horus and abandon this is your book

Steady pace to an unpredictable ending

As expected, a riveting adventure to the vengeful spirit by some classic characters. The purpose and character development was a bit underwhelming but the journey covered well.

Needed Toby Longworth

I like Armstrong as a narrator and he does a solid job, but most all of these characters listeners have heard Longworth voice almost exclusively, so it doesn’t feel quite right.
The meat of the story is very good, but like some of Mcneil’s other works, there are parts that kind of drag or feel unnecessarily detailed and long. Overall, if you want a Sons of Horus story, I would recommend this.

Feels like coming home

It has been so long since I read about the Warmasters legion and it was a tragic tale indeed. I find myself feeling sorry for Horus and I’m not sure why. Probably due to the stellar writing of each novel in this series. Definitely worth checking out if you want to continue the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus storyline!!!
