Book 51 in the global best selling Horus Heresy series. The end is nearly here........what lies ahead? After a long and gruelling conflict, the traitors at last close upon Terra. But time is dwindling for an attack. Both Guilliman and the Lion are returning with all haste, and their armies could turn the tide. The hosts of the Warmaster must unite, for only then can they attack the Throneworld itself. While Mortarion is sent on ahead as the fleet's vanguard, it falls to Lorgar and Perturabo to marshal Fulgrim and Angron, both now elevated to daemonhood and perhaps beyond even the will of the Warmaster to command. But Horus lies wounded and as the greatest battle the galaxy has ever know looms, it is up to Maloghurst to hold his fractious Legion together and to wrench Horus himself from the edge of oblivion.… (meer)

Thoroughly enjoyable. In this book we join Lorgar on a quest to bring Fulgrim back to the war and take over as warmaster from Horus, and we join Perturabo on a quest to bring Angron back to the war and prevent himself being shafted from all angles. These quests are seen through the eyes of four high ranking members of their legions as they attempt to assist these various quests and, in Maloghurst's case, save Horus and prevent the Sons of Horus from falling apart without him there to lead them. This is a conceit that works well and its nice to have an exciting, well paced read at this stage of the heresy! ( )

'Cover your heads and mock not flesh and blood With solemn reverence: throw away respect, Tradition, form and ceremonious duty, For you have but mistook me all this while: I live with bread like you, feel want, Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus, How can you say to me, I am a king?' – attributed to the dramaturge Shakespire (fl. M2)
'Call for all your chattels, Call forth the might of your land arrayed in fine steel, set them to parade before us so that they may still pass and the sun not set, Raise your hand and hear their acclimation, so loud that it might wake Yodan and Karies from their red slumber, Watch the sun glint off sword and spear, look into eyes that see nothing but glory in the clamour of arms and wish to hear no greater music, Have this done, and set it before me, and I will say that I see only the grin of skulls, and hear the cry of wind through bones.' – from the Crone's Reply to the Queen in the Mystery Cycles of Colchis
'And this, too, shall pass.' – saying of ancient Terra
