The worst part is the waiting…right? In this Horus Heresy short story Guy Haley explores the effect on Dorn’s Imperial Fists of the interminable waiting as they man the walls of the Imperial Palace in expectation of Horus’ armies reaching Terra.

It’s a story literally about waiting, about what that does to a Space Marine, and how they cope differently to ‘normal’ humans. It’s a powerfully dark story that exchanges action and excitement for tension and detail…it’s odd, but fascinating.

An excellent short story, looking at what happens when even the super humans are pushed to the it mental limits.
