About this listen
A Siege of Terra Anthology
Horus is dead. His Heresy is over. The scars of mankind’s great schism will never fully heal. For those left behind, a new Era of Ruin is dawning, promising both new beginnings and fresh peril for an Imperium riven by trauma and war.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
This is the final instalment of the Horus Heresy – but that was just the beginning of a much darker tale which will be 10,000 years in the telling. These short stories show us glimpses of the stories that spun out of the Siege of Terra as the fledgling Imperium put together the pieces after the galaxy-shattering destruction, and those who fought on both sides, as they try to move on from the unthinkable events of the bloody conflict.
THE STORY
In Chris Wraight’s Homebound, Ilya Ravallion must choose between the decimated White Scars and living out what remains of her life in peace. An embattled Ahzek Ahriman must race against time to learn what he can of the warp before its gates close to him forever in Ex Libris by John French.
Featuring tales from Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Guy Haley and many more, this anthology follows mighty Custodians, scheming sorcerers, and the lowly footsoldiers of the Imperial Army as all negotiate the devastating aftermath of Humanity's greatest reckoning.

I’ve also seen a lot of complaints about the narrators, but I personally disagree with those as well. Shogo and Colleen are veterans in many beloved and popular Warhammer series. For example, Shogo voiced the critically acclaimed charcharodon novels. In my opinion, the anthology did a great job within the Horus Heresy / Siege of Terra series. Each story was dedicated to closing out a character’s arc, and it all concluded with a strong, solid performance by Keeble.
It’s already been noted that there will be more stories after the Siege of Terra, so we’ll still get to see how Abaddon left Terra, how Guilliman manages the Codex, and much more. I think a lot of the negative reception comes from people’s high expectations rather than the actual quality of the work.
It’s a good listen, with satisfying conclusions for many beloved characters from the Siege of Terra.
