Much as Horus was lured by Chaos, Lorgar is basically dressed down by the Emperor in front of a fellow primarch, Guilliman of the Ultramarines, for too much worship and not enough conquest in The Great Crusade. Yet another outstanding entry in the multi-dimensional, multi-era Horus Heresy series as this one deals with the origins of the betrayal of Lorgar and the Word Bearers legion. Overall, a superb novel that I will definitely read again when I get a bit more of the 40k lore under my belt! ( ) Other introductory moments felt like they slowed the pace a bit. The pacing was handled really well with such a huge cast to work with, though there were some characters with diminished storylines later on that I felt took away from the story. I didn't know what to expect from this story, and I'm glad nothing was spoiled because it only made what was unveiled even more shocking and disturbing. Fantastic! This was my first Warhammer 40k novel and, although very chunky in names and jargon, I was able to follow along due in large part to the wonderful writing of and this great story.Īaron's words were almost poetic in nature but still easy to digest as they painted a clear picture of what was happening at every twist and turn this novel took, and there were many.

Yet I knew you'd understand the essence of me. In the wild artificial lights, how human you looked. "You don't know how I ached to take you that water-night. "I could eat you." Go on, Terry shivered as he drew electrically closer. He hesitated, but savagely, as if she were whining at him to do something he longed with violence to do. Some parts were rather shocking, and the writing shockingly good. However, I didn't really mind, because only a few details could change and it could have been set in any time. I find stories set in the 60s a bit dated, and that was the case with this one. The formatting was a bit off, and there were some typos, but I took what I could get because this story is so rare (and expensive). So I'm glad I found this online in its entirety and got to read it. I special-requested this from my library once, but they said I couldn't take it out because it was too old, and I didn't have the time to read it there then and I don't now.
