About this listen

Siege of Terra Book 8, Part 3

It all comes down to this final confrontation – the Emperor versus the Warmaster. The father versus the son. After 63 novels and a slew of short stories, omnibuses, audio dramas, and more – this is the End and the Death.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The Horus Heresy series reaches its dramatic climax. After years of civil war, the Emperor and Horus clash aboard the Vengeful Spirit in an epic battle of blades, wits, and wills. See how the greatest conflict of the age plays out, and follow fan-favourite characters from across the saga as they desperately try to influence the outcome.

THE STORY

The Great Angel, Sanguinius, lies slain at his brother's hand. Terra burns as reality itself unravels, and the greatest bastion of civilisation teeters on the brink of annihilation.

Desperate defenders gather, banding against the rabid traitor hordes. The Hollow Mountain, host to the pilgrims of Euphrati Keeler, is one of the last redoubts held by the Dark Angels while the unclean host of Typhus lays siege. Malcador the Sigillite sits ablaze on the Golden Throne, trying to buy his master more time. But time is running out...

Guilliman races across the stars to reinforce the Throneworld. Will he return to ashes, where a Warmaster of Chaos has ascended to godhood, or will the Emperor have triumphed? And at what cost?

We know and yet do not know this story. From the ashes of the original, terrible 1980’s story we have this ending now. It is so much better than it deserves to be. I hope they go into the great scouring now.

The end?

Fantastic. I have huge admiration for Dan Abnett for bringing what could have been an absolute catastrophe of competing narratives to such a satisfying and – yes – emotional close... I'm not crying, you're crying.

The Horus Heresy is probably one of the most ambitious enterprises in recent literary history. Multiple authors, a vast cast of characters and narrative arcs, and a truly epic scope. You'll never see HH mentioned in the literary supplements of fancy newspapers and magazines, but these are the books that enormous numbers of people are reading and enjoying today. These are the books that are keeping "the novel" alive. And while the quality across the HH series isn't consistent (how could it be?), Abnett's closing trilogy is masterful.

Narration from JK was outstanding, as ever.

I would have loved more detail on the Emperor's installation on the Golden Throne at the book's close (how, exactly, did this work? Did the GT have to be swiftly retrofitted to accommodate the Corpse Emperor? etc etc), but this is a minuscule gripe and I hate myself for mentioning it tbh.

Anyway: buy it, listen to it, sob to it. I know I have. And I regret nothing.
