About this listen

While Horus' rebellion burns across the galaxy, a very different kind of war rages beneath the Imperial Palace.

The 'Ten Thousand' Custodian Guard, along with the Sisters of Silence and the Mechanicum forces of Fabricator General Kane, fight to control the nexus points of the ancient eldar webway that lie closest to Terra, infested by daemonic entities after Magnus the Red's intrusion. But with traitor legionaries and corrupted Battle Titans now counted among the forces of Chaos, the noose around the Throneworld is tightening, and none but the Emperor Himself can hope to prevail.

This is probably one of the most anticipated books in the horus heresy series as the character of the Emperor is at once the driving force behind the universe and one of the things we know least about. There I like many people reading this book expected it to heavily focus on the Emperor's past as well his own perspective within he horus heresy. There was some of this but the book mainly focused on the actions of the Custodes and silent sisters after the events of A Thousand Sons. Not a bad read by any means but it just leaves me wanting more and we are unlikely to get another book like it until the very end of the series for the final confrontation between horus and the Emperor.

Not bad but was expecting more.

Simply the best Horus Heresy book so far in my opinion. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!
I may be slightly biased as I do collect a Custodes army for 40k and can't get enough lore about them. But no other book has so much time and insight into the Emperor and how he thinks etc and there are so many bad ass moments in this book, that I just can't imagine anyone not enjoying it!
Buy it!

A MUST READ!

ADB is usually poor at writing anything other than chaos, but here for the first time his own hatred of the Emperor and humanity in general didn't stop him from writing a decent story.
He probably hates himself for it.

A rare good book from ADB

What a listen... really enjoyed that. It was one of the richest in content I have listened to. Still lots of fighting but a great insight into the war in the Web way and the Emperor as a character. I would say it's a must listen.
