Synopsis
Siege of Terra Book 1 After years of devastating war, Horus and his forces have arrived at Terra. But before they can set foot on the Throneworld, they must first break the defences of the Sol System. Powerful fleets and cunning defences bar their path – but can anything hope to halt the advance of the Traitor armada? READ IT BECAUSE The final act of the long-running, bestselling series starts here, with a brutal and uncompromising look at the first stage of the Siege of Terra, the war to conquer the solar system. Armies will fall, heroes will rise and legends will be written… THE STORY After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos, and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there. To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.
My Review
This was a brilliant read. There was so much action from the start that I couldn't put it down. It's definitely a real page turner. This was a fantastic fast paced novel that had me on the edge of my seat. I wasn't very familiar with the characters and this lead to me not connecting fully with the story. But I'm betting every other warhammer fan will know them in and out so this will be your 5 star read. It didn't affect my love of the story though. I loved that this book was set in space as the battleship fights are my favourite and this book disappoint in that department. This is the first book in siege of terra series. I definitely recommend reading this book especially if you love warhammer 40k. I just loved how the blood was flying everywhere it definitely made for exciting fight scenes. I also loved how there were female characters as most warriors are always men.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a brilliant, exciting and thrilling roller coaster ride of a story.
