So I was delighted to discover that I could get the first twelve novels of the Horus Heresy - all 5,456 pages! - in a single deluxe box set. But then I listened to Ben Counter’s riveting Galaxy in Flames - the third book in the sequence, and the one in which the Hersey is finally revealed in the brutal massacre of loyalist legions on Isstvan III - and I knew I was going to have to knuckle down and buy the entire set.

A sweeping dark fantasy featuring sorcery, magic, undead legions and ruinous Chaos powers secretly maneuvering to bring about the downfall of the Imperium of Man in the 31st Century, they’ve been something of an occasional guilty pleasure for me.

Okay, this one was a bit of an indulgence.īack in January, I wrote about how much I’ve been enjoying the delightful Horus Heresy audio books from Black Library.
