    A Great Book

    Like the rest of the horus heresy books this one is just as good although it lacks what youve come to expect from the series. Astartes vs Astartes battles. It is mostly a book that sets the base for a book that should be released after Horus is killed and the Dark Angels Primarch returns to Caliban.

    Why was this book written?

    This book will have one and only one saving grace. If there is to be a follow up to this book then it was worth reading. If not then I'm going to use it to prop up an uneven table, and suggest fans of the heresy series to look elsewhere for reading material. The book was long, drawn out and had absolutely nothing to do the the heresy. If you want dark angels history and background then by all means read it. If not then don't waste your time.

    Needed more

    As mentioned above it didn't really tie in with series well. They will definitely need a second book to tell the tale of the fall of Luthor to Chaos and the destruction of Caliban. Sort of a post hersey fall of book otherwise much of the book will not make cense to the casual SCI-FI reader

    Has nothing to do with the Heresy

    This book is NOT apart of The Horus Heresy, it does not mention Horus, not once in the all of its pages. I don't understand how it could be marketed as the 6th book. If you seek the next book, look elsewhere because you will not find your answers here.

    Slightly Lacking

    While much of this book is well written and entertaining, It does not have much to do with the series storyline. The end is abrupt and felt rushed. The story simply ends without explaining why events happened as they did. In my opinion it felt like there should be a second book to finish the storyline.

    NOt one of the series best

    Of the entire series I found this one to be a bit lacking. It tended to drag a bit compared to the others and not focus on the actual Heresey taking place in the others. More of pre history story.

    The most intense story I've read

    This story is about the tragic fall of the emperor of mankind. It tells how he was betrayed with the most detailed and intense story line.

    Action and Death incarnate

    Blood,death, and gore! All this is included in this magnificent piece of writing. It's a story of honor, betrayal, and total war!
