Horus Rising (Warhammer 40,000 Novels: Horus Heresy) Dan Abnett
Publisher: Games Workshop

Anyway Warhammer 40,000 is epic in the truest sense of the word, a science fiction universe with a slathering of dark fantasy thrown in for good measure. This is the launch title in an amazing new series that tells the incredible story of the Horus Heresy, the civil war that almost tore the Warhammer 40000 universe apart. Novels HORUS RISING - DAN ABNETT FALSE GODS - GRAHAM McNEILL . Overall: More than worth the price and avoids the pulpy nature of Science Fiction The Horus Heresy is a Warhammer 40000 licensed book series that takes place 10000 years before standard franchise, illustrating the events that lead up to the perpetual war. If you have an interest in genetically enhanced superhuman warriors battling against all manner of vicious foes then I suggest you start with HORUS RISING, the first book in the Horus Heresy and a wonderful way to test the waters and The last few Horus Heresy novels have been lackluster character pieces. 1) 'Calth That Was' (Graham McNeill) novella which links Remus Ventanus to the 40k Ultramarines continuity, along with Maloq Kartho before he becomes a daemon prince. The series is up to eight in December 2008. Space Marine Legions are engaged in the Great Crusade to bring worlds, both human and alien, into the Imperium. The Space It has been in the background for 20 or so years and for the last 7 years Black Library have been releasing the Horus Heresy series of novels. Personally I'm most looking forward to Betrayer, Nightfall, Unremembered Empire, and the unnamed White Scars novel, but also lots mote besides. I am not sure how any long time 40K gamer can turn away from the amazing Horus Heresy world that Black Library and Forge World has created. As you can see there is loads!! The Horus Heresy novels are pretty good, especially since Abnett wrote a couple of them, Horus Rising (the first HH novel) and Legion, which is about those cunning bastards in the Alpha Legion. This is the novel for those of you who want the best Black Library has to offer, or have a friend who reads off the Best Sellers list Detailing the beginnings of the Horus Heresy, the event which has set the stage for the Warhammer 40,000 universe, this novel follows the struggles of Captain Garviel Loken of the Luna Wolves. The Best Seller – Recommended Novel: Horus Rising by Dan Abnett. Set 10,000 years before the world of Warhammer 40,000 the Horus Heresy takes place during an age of expansion or rather re-expansion of the Imperium of Man. Summary: You all knew this had to be in here at some point.
