Summary

Recalled from the Great Crusade after Ullanor, Rogal Dorn and the VIIth Legion were appointed as the Emperor's praetorians - but only after the Warmaster's treachery was revealed did the full extent of that sacred duty become apparent.

Now, the Solar System comes under attack for the first time since the war began, and many of the seemingly impregnable defences wrought by the Imperial Fists prove inadequate. With all eyes fixed firmly upon this new threat beyond the gates of Terra, who in turn will protect Dorn from the enemy within?

One of the best in the series

This ranks with the First Heretic, The Flight of the Eisenstein and Vengeful Spirit as one of the best books in the entire series. Brilliant pacing, engaging story and believable characters that one can empathise with. This is the second book I have heard Jonathan Keeble narrate, and he is a brilliant voice actor whose narration is second to none. Masterful!

For all Fists and Alpha Legions fans in out there

Great insight into what both legions wants to accomplish, and how they want to go about doing it.

Starts strong ends strong

The middles a bit boring but it ends on a high. Pretty good overall. It’s nice when there’s actually consequences in these books.

Easily one of the best in the Horus Heresy

It opened incredibly well bringing you right into the action follows two sides of a conflict but with interesting and likable characters from both sides with a thrilling game of cat and mouse. absolutely loved it and highly recommend!
