The Horus Heresy: Volume Two

The Horus Heresy #6-10

by Dan Abnett (Contributor)

While the name of Horus is reviled across the galaxy as a traitor and heretic, he was far from the first to act in secret against his supposed allies. Looking back across the latter years of the Great Crusade, it becomes apparent that duplicity and subterfuge have become part of the fabric of the Imperium – from the forests of Caliban to the borders of known space, and even the red sands of Mars...

Descent of Angels, Legion, Battle for the Abyss, Mechanicum and Tales of Heresy continue the saga, revealing how the galaxy was already riven by suspicion, factionalism and rivalry even before Horus fell. The mysteries of the Dark Angels, alien plots, the explosive, disastrous civil war on Mars and a collection of gripping short stories – science fiction doesn't get any more epic than this.

This collection contains the novels [ of Angels|768929], [|1678745], [ for the Abyss|2322177], [|2941259] and [ of Heresy|6057020].

What a READ

The horus heresy has to be the best and worst time in the 40k universe. Stories of biblical proportions and truly amazing story telling .

[Jaime Mozo Dutton · Rating 2 out of 5]

The writing badly lets down this second instalment in the epic series. Ok so you’re not going to expect Dostoevsky from a work with this type of origin but where as the writing in book one was clean and crisp this has the cliche leaden clunk of a fanzine story. Still the world and the mythos remain engaging enough and I will certainly plod on to book 3.
