Posted on by

As the first assault on the Solar System begins, the strength of the Imperial Fists and the seemingly impregnable fastness they have built is tested at last Recalled from the Great Crusade after Ullanor, Rogal Dorn and the VIIth Legion were appointed as the Emperor s praetorians but only after the Warmaster s treachery was revealed did the full extent of that sacred duty become apparent Now, the Solar System comes under attack for the first time since the war began, and many of the seemingly impregnable defences wrought by the Imperial Fists prove inadequate With all eyes fixed firmly upon this new threat beyond the gates of Terra, who in turn will protect Dorn from the enemy within At last, Rogal Dorn and the VII Legion take centre stage in a Horus Heresy novel And it s a doozy,

of Rogal Dorn preparing the defense of Terra , and lore and built a unique and compelling story He managed what few Black Library writers could do, interesting characters, colorful descriptions that didn t take longer than two pages , powerful story arcs As well as, a resolved plot that was not draw...Given the Horus Heresy s sheer scale, it was inevitable that certain figures tend to slip through the cracks Oh, you get retcons to explain away certain ideas, changes to the lore to suit others or even full novels later on, but in many cases certain aspects are conspicuously absent In

supporter Given the Horus Heresy s sheer scale, it was inevitable that certain figures tend to slip through the cracks Oh, you get retcons to explain away certain ideas, changes to the lore to suit

solid workmanship If anything, the author maybe blends a few too many strands of different plots and characters, switching back and forth enough to give the reader a bit of whiplash early on, so either pay attention and keep track of stuff, or read a bit here and there and end up asking yourself What Or just go with the flow and not keep track and enjoy it at a lower level of understanding not quite everything and all parts of t...Wow This book, alongside Path of Heaven, stands as the best Horus Heresy novels ever since the first trilogy Fans of both the Imperial Fists and the Alpha Legion will specially love it It has a lot of flashbacks and different points of view, but for me i was able to connect them very thoroughly and it made this whole concise picture of the Imperial Fists and the Alpha Legion, and how it would play out in the end The great strategic surprise in the end i was already expecting, but oh boy Wow This book, alongside Path of Heaven, stands as the best
