Explore the final stages of the New York Times Bestselling Series The Horus Heresy in this fantastic miniseries, a must have for all fans!

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.

A Desperate Plan... To wring just a bit more money out of this...

"Almost a decade and a half, and over 5,000,000 words have passed since the moment Horus spoke on the page for the first time in Horus Rising"
-John French

2,000,000 words too many at the very least.
After Legion, Black Library quickly realized that the HH story was progressing WAY too quickly so they started feeding us new material in drips and drabs...
How many versions of the Drop Site Massacre did we have to hear about?
This is why I believe almost all books since [Legion] have been of poorer quality (notable exceptions: A Thousand Sons, Prospero Burns, and Know No Fear). What started as a terrific backstory and foundation to the 40k universe became a cash cow... We deserved better...
That being said, Horus Rising was my first WH40k book and it opened a door to a virtual flood of bolter-porn and grimdark... I've loved almost all of it (Damnation of Pythos, Vulkan Lives... I can't get that time back) and John French delivers.
This is a great setup for what (is hopefully) a concise conclusion to the Horus Heresy saga. Seriously, if they string this out for more than five books I'm gonna have to plan a trip to Nottingham!
French appears to really care about the content and the stories that have been (and have yet to be) told... Buy his book, reward good storytelling...

But get your act together Black Library! I only have a few thousand (more) dollars to spend on your books!!!

Fun Space Marine content, but little progress.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

If I could, I'd score this a 3.5/5. It's got good Primarch & Space Marine content, with some interesting battles, but it also feels like little progresses forward. I'm getting the feeling they're stretching this as far as they can and somehow simultaneously skipping some of the most impactful psychological developments of the cast. Was an easy read but I'm also already forgetting what happened.

As always, epic in proportions, thoughtful in its depth.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

If one had neglected to read this masterful series from the beginning, one might expect this science fiction/fantasy book to be in the same cadre of most books in its genre. However, John French, much like his contemporary black library authors, adds a depth of philosophy and introspection that is pleasantly.... surprising? For me, perhaps not. I have grown accustomed to it by now.
If you, as a reader, are considering picking up this or the next book without having read the preceding 50-something books leading up to this point... STOP. Go back to the beginning. Pick up Horus Rising and prepare for a long, captivating journey through imagination and reflection. Its well worth the journey. Enjoy....

Well done

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019

We get the start of the Siege, and there is a lot of call backs.

There a number of main characters, but to me, the star is Mersadie Oliton, and I'm so glad she is back and gets the role she deserves. The writing around her is great, as well as her story arc.

Also, my favorite Ahriman is back, and boy does he think what hes' doing is a bad idea......

The combat is great, as Horus grinds down the Outer Defenses. Pluto, my goodness.

If I hadn't read Sigismund's fate, I'd think he was doomed here for sure.

Also comes with 4 B&W illustrations. Admiral Su-Kassen is my favorite, though my wife picks Ahirman.

Definite must get.

Here we are..

After 50+ books here we are. The main event, The War in Solar System.

The book portrays epic scale of the War very well. I felt like i was there. It does a great job at being first book of the final series.

Why did i not give it a 5 star? Minor Spoiler Warning!!
Well The Phalanx battle seemed forced and rushed for me. I did not like that chapter so it got a minus star.

Overall a great introduction to an epic engagement.

I haven't read a lot of Horus Heresy books but I've read enough and know enough of 40k/30k lore to know the personas involved. I also play a lot of 40k video-games and this book was basically battlefleet gothic(one of my all time fave games) come to life in book form. Great story line and great macro cannon porn, probably the best fleet battle book in the 40k setting. But definitely not a book for someone just starting out in the lore. This and the last Horus Heresy book I read, the master of mankind were really good and well worth the purchase.

Horus Heresy fan? You'll enjoy it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019

I'm a Dorn fan, so I'll read anything that features him, but the earliest stages of the Solar War are fascinating in their description; slow, grinding, shockingly costly to both sides, and above all, inevitable.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021

Great start to a well anticipated end. The afterword sealed the deal for me, getting to take a peak behind the curtain made this book more personal to me.
