A Horus Heresy Novel

Horus has revealed his dark plans, but nobody is prepared for just how far he will go. The force sent to end the Warmaster's rebellion doesn't realise they are heading towards a slaughter unlike anything the galaxy has seen.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's the deepest exploration so far of one of the most horrific battles of the Horus Heresy. You may know what happened during the Dropsite Massacre, but you don't know it all. It's far worse than you thought as the treachery is revealed.

THE STORY

Horus has rebelled against the Emperor by purging his and his brother's Legions, but what was supposed to be a secret act of murder has been revealed. In the Emperor's name, Rogal Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite dispatch the largest force of legionaries and primarchs ever assembled to end Horus' rebellion before it can begin.

But the loyalists, on their way to enact vengeance, do not know the depth of the betrayal they face. They will not be the perpetrators of a massacre, but its victims. The last hope of returning to the Great Crusade and the unity of the Imperium will die in the dust of Isstvan V, and those who survive will live in a new age of darkness.

Written by John French. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble. Runtime 11 hours and 27 minutes approx.

Obviously, it’s not a gateway into the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but for fans—and especially those who follow the Horus Heresy—it’s simply an indispensable addition for delving into the infamy of that tragic day for the Loyalists.

Of particular is Jonathan Keeble’s extraordinary narration; he doesn’t just read the book—he brings it to life.
