Dark Compliance by John French

4.0

A simple but effective portmanteau, this sees the ruler of one planetary system – defiant in the face of Horus’ demands – regaled with the horrifying tale of another system’s demise…over a single day. A statement of Horus’ intent as much as his military power, the story of Accazzar-Beta’s destruction, as told by Sons of Horus emissary Argonis, demonstrates the fate awaiting those who defy the Warmaster.

Does this story move the timeline of the Heresy forward, or highlight something absolutely essential in the grand scheme of things? No, not at all. Is that question, of how Horus achieves compliance, actually a really interesting – and, yes, important – one when you look at the Heresy as a whole? Absolutely.
