The final horus Heresy book that I needed to read before diving into The Siege of Terra. It is hard to believe that I managed to get through all 54 of them. This was saved for last as it has a bad reputation, one which is in my opinion undeserved.
This is a rad 80s hair metal album featuring Dinosaurs fighting Demons whilst a bunch of Cyborgs fire pot shots from the background.
Is this at all essential to read if you are just going for the 'important' entries in the series? Absolutely not, even the story that the events of this book lead into are completely understandable without this background.
That being said this was absolutely a blast from start to finish. One of the few books that really get into the life of the Iron Hands and the flaws inherent in their legion lead to their downfall in this rad as hell horror story.
