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?

I knew absolutely nothing about Warhammer 40k and got this book on a whim. Being the first book in the series it was a good introduction. The characters held up, the universe hung together well. Worth a delve into.

Excellent Primer on Warhammer 40k
