Summary

A Horus Heresy audiobook anthology

When Horus rebelled against the Emperor, the ensuing civil war nearly destroyed the Imperium. War raged across galaxy, resulting in a struggle where death was the only victor.

Listen to it because:

Events from the Great Crusade and the early days of the Heresy are explored in a series of short stories covering the Space Wolves, Word Bearers, World Eaters, Dark Angels, Sisters of Silence, Custodian Guard...and the Emperor himself in a unique tale that will you have questioning all your assumptions about the Master of Mankind.

When Horus the Warmaster rebelled against the Emperor, the ensuing civil war nearly destroyed the Imperium. War raged across galaxy, pitting Astartes against their battle-brothers in a struggle where death was the only victor. But long before that, the Legions struggled with their identities and the demands of the Great Crusade. From battles with alien invaders to conflicts within a Legion, and even dealing with a wayward primarch, these stories show the battles fought as the Great Crusade draws to a close and the Horus Heresy begins....

Great stories, excellent performances!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. A very refreshing taste of different stories after other books in the HH series, which can get bogged-down with 16 hours passing for the same story.
Definitely grab this if you want something a bit different.

Interesting anthology.

The contents of this anthology are as follows;

Blood Games by Dan Abnett
Wolf at the Door by Mike Lee
Scions of the Storm by Anthony Reynolds
The Voice by James Swallow
Call of the Lion by Gav Thorpe
The Last Church by Graham McNeill
After Desh'ea by Matthew Farrer

A very interesting selection of stories, from various times of the Imperium.
A couple I found to be weaker than others, but none were bad. It will come down to personal preference as to how the listener rates each tale. For the record, I think The Last Church was a wonderfully crafted story, and possibly my favourite.

Very recommended for fans of 40k books.

Short stories, BIG info

these may be short stories but you gain a sense of who these different characters are. Angrim for instance, more beast than man.

Great collection of short stories

Blood Games (Short Story) by Dan Abnett - 9/10 - Really well written, good pacing and an interesting little insight into the Custodes.

Wolf at the Door (Short Story) by Mike Lee - 10/10 - Absolutely brilliant short story! Interesting characters, keeps you interested throughout and a great ending.

Scions of the Storm (Short Story) by Anthony Reynolds - 6/10 - A classic story in the setting really. It's good to meet Lorgar and the Word Bearers. A good story but not outstanding.

The Voice (Short Story) by James Swallow - 5/10 - Nice to have a female narrator for once! and Also a few more female characters in the setting, but the story is a little dull.

Call of the Lion (Short Story) by Gav Thorpe - 4/10 - As with 'The Voice' before it, the story is just not that interesting and the characters are quite annoying.

The Last Church (Short Story) by Graham McNeill - 100/10!!!! - Arguably the best piece of writing in the whole Warhammer catalogue. Truly brilliant. To get such an insight into the Emperor of Mankind's outlook on Philosophy, Religion, progress and much more in just over an hour of listening is incredible...thought-provoking writing at its best! It will change your perspective of not only the setting of Warhammer itself but on how you perceive things in the real world.

After Desh'ea (Short Story) by Matthew Farrer - 9/10 - Really great end to the book. Angron is such an interesting character and it's great to see his first interactions with what will become his Legion.
