As a returning fan to the 40k universe this book was recommended to me by Warhammer store staff as a solid starting point to basic concepts in the lore and a book that would get me up to speed on the current situation in the timeline.

This book paired with my own research has thoroughly achieved that and has helped me on my way to diving into deeper areas of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

I really enjoyed learning more about Guilliman and the way he thinks - especially what he thinks on the state of the Imperium and how he comes to terms with that through his deductions and world view - he’s a deeply flawed but very interesting character and has quickly become my favourite of the Primarchs. 

Thoroughly recommend this to fans old and new as it provides a great starting point for you to lean into other areas of the 40k universe.
