GWS-BL2852 Games Workshop Black Library Horus Heresy Siege of Terra Book 1: The Solar War

About This Book

Seven years of civil war have brought Horus to the edge of the Solar System with the largest fleet ever assembled and one objective: kill his father and take the Imperium apart. Terra is finally in reach.

Except it is not, quite. Between the Traitor armada and the Throneworld sit the fortifications, fleets and orbital defences of the Sol System itself, and Rogal Dorn has had years to prepare them. Before a single traitor boot touches Terran soil, Horus has to fight his way through all of it, and this novel is that fight.

It is the opening book of the Siege of Terra, the sequence that finally delivers the confrontation the whole Horus Heresy has been building toward. Starting here means starting at the beginning of the end rather than partway through it.

Who It's For

Readers who want into the Siege of Terra sequence and would rather begin at Book 1. It is also a reasonable entry point for anyone who has bounced off the sheer length of the Horus Heresy proper: the Siege is a distinct arc with its own opening, and this is that opening.

Void warfare is the mode here rather than ground combat, so it suits readers who like fleet actions, sieges and the logistics of an impossible attack.
