About this listen

It is the 31st millennium. Under the benevolent leadership of the Immortal Emperor, the Imperium of Man hasstretched out across the galaxy.

It is a golden age of discovery and conquest. But now, on the eve of victory, the Emperor leaves the front lines, entrusting the great crusade to his favourite son, Horus. Promoted to Warmaster, can the idealistic Horus carry out the Emperor's grand plan, or will this promotion sow the seeds of heresy amongst his brothers?

Horus Rising was spectacular. I have listened to a few Black Libary audio CDs and most have disappointed me. Mainly due to their length, most are only an hour or so long. Horus Rising is over 12 hours long and they are 12 truly amazing hours of splendid back story. This story achieved to paint true depth and colour onto so many key events and characters that I was only basically aware of before. The best scene for me was the diplomatic dialogue that occurred between Horus and his counterpart. So wonderfully well written and the voice acting was splendid in its execution.

Truly Amazing!

If you were ever intrested in Warhammer 40k at any point of your life, start here and learn about your favourite legion/chapter. I left 40k in the dust as a child but refell in love with it when I started listening to the audio books. Listen for the emperor, brother.

Never picked up a model kit, never played the video games, the whole thing completely passed me by as a kid. Now I after listening to this audiobook I want to know everything about it. An absolutely enthralling tale from start to end. The characters are likable, the narrator is excellent and I'm now on the third book of the series. If you're reading this, don't take my word for it, try it!

Never been a Warhammer fan...

Fantastic in every way, well written and great voice acting.

But the audio is really rather low maxed on my phone and things still seem a bit quiet to me compared to the many other books I have.

Good but low audio.

Who doesn't want to learn about the great schism between the Emporer (beloved by all) and his favourite son. Well the story begins here.

Now on to book 2!

First of the Horus heresy and it's awesome.
