The Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow
4.0
adventurous challenging dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes

Picking up from a different perspective than that of Mournival member Loken, we see Garro experience the events leading up to Horus’ revealed betrayal from the Death Guard’s perspective. Details the daring escape that makes possible the warning to Terra and the emperor that Horus is amassing forces. Also further explores the warp and the corruption it possesses through the transformation of various Death Guard’s Astartes, Including Grulgor and Garro’s protige, Decius.
