Starts up to be slow, but ended with a bang.

The first 2/3s of the story was meh... but the last part is awesome. The plot twists at the end made the story... but sad to say the rest of the book was slow and uneventful. Gave 4 stars as the ending was STILL that good. It’s a must read but I would give warning about the slow start of the story.

loved to read it, loved to hear it

This particular entry in the horus heresy series apart from the first 4 books of the beginning of this series had me enthralled from the very first chapter! It took a few books to get me to be interested in other legions like the Imperial Fists or Death Guard but only one book for me to instantly spark my interest in the Alpha Legion, THIS book. The story itself was a fresh take, the reader was easy to follow and the 11+ hours it took to listen to this audiobook seemed almost to go by faster than the previous books! That's not to say it was a bad thing or a short book, no that's just a realization that this book had my interest from the very start. My favorite book thus far by Dan Abnett.

A truly intriguing story

The alpha legion nothing is as it seem. Are the Alpha legion and their primarchs truly traitors have they really turned their back on mankind or were they trying to prevent a greater evil. Is it possible that the most secretive and trickiest legion in the imperium of man had themselves been duped find out in legion secrets and lies.

welcome to the CIA of the astarties.

The book was awesome and followed a large cast of characters in an almost seeming pulp fiction style that all ties together and the ways you would not expect. 10 out of 10 would read again.

A wild ride

Warfare and espionage woven near seamlessly together. Gut churning suspense and brotherly love and heart wrenching betrayal walk hand in hand down a medium of epic storytelling and finely crafted dialogue. A must read for fans of 40k Fluff!

Just an amazing series

I have never found a book series more thrilling, more engaging, more complex, more enjoyable that the Horus Heresy. I am not a fan of fiction in many cases, however, this is my exception. The story is such a complex decadent thing and it just keeps enticing you to listen. All of the narrators have been perfect fits as well. Highly recommend the series to any one who loves science fiction or War fiction. You do not need to be a warhammer player to consume and enjoy the books. 10,000 stars out a 5.

Alpha Legion

A great book that gives you an understanding of the Alpha Legion and their way of operating.
