Summary
A galaxy burns and brother turns on brother as the conflict brought about by a beloved son’s betrayal reaches its fateful end. The Warmaster Horus has triumphed. His massive fleet at last nears Terra and the patriarchal Throne of his hated father. Many have fallen to bring this moment about; their tales are the ashes upon which the Heresy was born and prospered. Others have played their own small parts, drops in an ocean of war and blood.
None of it matters.
Terra looks to the skies as it raises its defences. Armies muster, heroes raise their swords, citizens cower. The war is coming. And nothing can stop it.

Over all very good. Hunts section was a miss.
Very good short stories that fill the gaps and also creat some new openings for the imagination during the Seige. I didn't enjoy Matthew Hunts reading though unfortunately so skipped that part, he has a tough act to follow.

The build up to the seige begins
Really good stories fantastically read. One of the stories a little bit weak and another I'd heard before but adds tension and insight into the final stage of the heresy

A solid collection, teeing-up the Siege of Terra
A collection of strong tales 'setting the board' for the climax of the series

One of the best anthologies
Really good tales leading up in the siege of terra and it was great to hear revelation play Malcador, the narration apart from the one story was exceedingly good

For Unity!
Usually I find the short-story collections are just filler and I guess that still applies here, but I enjoyed the 'calm before the storm' tension running through all of them.

Good but not great
Generally liked the stories and narration, as compilations go a good one. The Board is Set was my favourite.

More short stories....
....some okay, some not so. It was interesting seeing more of Terra just before the siege begins. Narrators both do an excellent job. Another one for completests only.

Possibly the best of the compilations
Probably my favorite of the heresy compilations, almost all interesting in their own way, unusual in these types of book so far.

One of the best anthologies
Really like this set of shorts felt it set the scene and tone for the upcoming Siege well.
Two of my favorites:
'Magisterium' is quite sad as you realise just how devastating the War in the Webway was for the Custodians.
'The Board is Set' is the perfect end to a sombre collection.
