Summary
Once the brightest star in the Imperium and always first among his primarch brothers, Horus has dragged the Space Marine Legions into the bloodiest conflict that the galaxy has ever seen. While their allies wage war on a thousand different fronts, the XVIth Legion descend upon the Knight world of Molech - home to the ruling House Devine, and a principle stronghold of the Imperial Army.
The forces loyal to the Emperor stand ready to defy the Warmaster, but just what could have drawn Horus to attack such a well defended planet, and what might he be willing to sacrifice to fulfill his own dark destiny?

Poor narration
Honestly I wish Black Library would stop getting Gareth Armstrong to narrate their books, he's the worst part of every audio book he narrates and it's honestly disappointing.

This book is rated far too highly for shorts
Another one of the MANY books that are falsely advertised as the horus heresy. This is just another book of shorts that is labelled as the heresy series so they can justify trying to sell you an extra 15+ books that dont actually matter

disappointing
One of my favourite authors and his previous work is gold, but I feel hes let this one down and concentrates more on theatrics and over the top dramatic gimmicks to explain situation rather than getting teeth into the story.
I also didnt enjoy the narrator.

Not bad but not great
While advancing the Hours Heresy story, this book feels like it was rushed, or it was meant as a trilogy like the first three books. There are so many characters and character arcs that I had a hard time caring for any one of them. And by the time the story returned to an arc I was previously interested in, I had already lost interest in that arc (like for example Horus's journey to the endgame). Also I feel that too much attention was given to the description of warfare and battles, so much so that by the time any battles finish I had a hard time remembering what was the battle fought for. This also means less time for character dialogue and development. One last gripe I have with this book is that it's climax was a bit disappointing in the way it was constructed, despite its major significance to the Heresy. It felt as if it was glanced over and then the story moved on.
All in all it's a good Heresy story but with a mediocre execution.

Storyline
One of the best yet. Truth be told, best decade of books so far in the series (20 through 30)

The narrator
Great listen other than the voices for the sons of Horus and loken being so off from the first 3 books!

it was ok
good to see some unexpected characters back in the heresy stories
voice acting was pretty underwhelming, space marines sounding like wimpy mortals, humans sounding tougher than space marines, mortarian sounded pathetic.
story took a while to get into, but ended well enough.
not a must have by any means

Good story adds well to Heresy arc
Far too much description. Even more irritating was the descriptors always in threes. Seemed lazy, simply adding to word count. Could make a drinking game from number of times 'burnt meat' and 'coruscating' are used.
