The Horus Heresy is a cornerstone even in a fictional universe that provides the background story for the Warhammer 40,000. The Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop miniature war game that is produced by Games Workshop and is set in a dystopian sci-fi universe. The Horus Heresy is a dark, far future, sci-fi war saga that takes place during the Horus Heresy, a cornerstone event of the dystopian science fantasy Warhammer 40,000 universe. Sounds interesting? We bring you a chronological list of Horus Heresy novels, which bring you the story behind the sci-fi universe, Warhammer 40,000. It did sort of deliver that, just I wanted something extra and I don’t know what.There is a galaxy far, far away where a civil war rages, where the "Emperor of Mankind", founder of the Imperium of Man – the proponent of Order in the Milky Way Galaxy, fights against "Chaos" and its forces. I wanted it to end, in a final way, all the ends wrapped up tightly. There’s a lovely twist about who they are, and who the Spears of the Emperor have been fighting all the time they’re isolated on the wrong side of the galaxy, but it does feel a little too much like it’s been built as part of a series. The book, then, is good, although it feels odd that a person would ever survive capture by the dreaded Chaos Space Marines. I’ve not liked his Horus Heresy books so much so far. I think ADB’s best work is his Black Legion stories, narrated by Chaos Space Marines. This is all narrated from the view point of one of his chapter slaves, responsible for cleaning his armour and polishing his guns, and that’s the human viewpoint the novel needs. The Mentor in this book goes to report on the Spears of the Emperor, gets captured and grievously tortured, and then gets rebuilt like the 6 million dollar man and goes fighting some more. The Mentors tool around teaching other Imperial soldiers to fight better. ![]() The book is focussed on the Spears of the Emperor, a Celtic-themed Space Marine chapter (perhaps similar to the Space Wolves, who are Vikings in Spaaaace, these are the woad-coated Ancient Britons in Spaaaace, which is odd when the Space Marines are all kind of the Roman Empire in Spaaaace), along with the Mentors, a chapter of Space Marine know-it-all who were in the first White Dwarf I ever read. There’s also, as per ADB’s earlier The Emperor’s Gift, the Inquisition being awful, but I won’t give away that plot point. There’s betrayal, reversals, and hope snatched away near the very end. It’s another Aaron Dembski-Bowen book, which means there’s more sympathy for the evil Chaos Space Marines and less for the loyalists. Instead, this is set in the 41st millennium, which is the present day for Games Workshop’s setting. I read another book about Space Marines, but this time not part of the incredibly long Horus Heresy series.
