Summary
A Horus Heresy audiobook anthology
When Horus rebelled against the Emperor, the ensuing civil war nearly destroyed the Imperium. War raged across galaxy, resulting in a struggle where death was the only victor.
Listen to it because:
Events from the Great Crusade and the early days of the Heresy are explored in a series of short stories covering the Space Wolves, Word Bearers, World Eaters, Dark Angels, Sisters of Silence, Custodian Guard...and the Emperor himself in a unique tale that will you have questioning all your assumptions about the Master of Mankind.
When Horus the Warmaster rebelled against the Emperor, the ensuing civil war nearly destroyed the Imperium. War raged across galaxy, pitting Astartes against their battle-brothers in a struggle where death was the only victor. But long before that, the Legions struggled with their identities and the demands of the Great Crusade. From battles with alien invaders to conflicts within a Legion, and even dealing with a wayward primarch, these stories show the battles fought as the Great Crusade draws to a close and the Horus Heresy begins....

Great little collection of short stories.
Really loved it. Great little collection. And for the first time a female narrator for the horus heresy at least. really gets you immersed in the story of the sisterhood. also by God I loved the wolf story so much I listen to it on repeat 3 times.

Great collection of short stories
Blood Games (Short Story) by Dan Abnett - 9/10 - Really well written, good pacing and an interesting little insight into the Custodes.
Wolf at the Door (Short Story) by Mike Lee - 10/10 - Absolutely brilliant short story! Interesting characters, keeps you interested throughout and a great ending.
Scions of the Storm (Short Story) by Anthony Reynolds - 6/10 - A classic story in the setting really. It's good to meet Lorgar and the Word Bearers. A good story but not outstanding.
The Voice (Short Story) by James Swallow - 5/10 - Nice to have a female narrator for once! and Also a few more female characters in the setting, but the story is a little dull.
Call of the Lion (Short Story) by Gav Thorpe - 4/10 - As with 'The Voice' before it, the story is just not that interesting and the characters are quite annoying.
The Last Church (Short Story) by Graham McNeill - 100/10!!!! - Arguably the best piece of writing in the whole Warhammer catalogue. Truly brilliant. To get such an insight into the Emperor of Mankind's outlook on Philosophy, Religion, progress and much more in just over an hour of listening is incredible...thought-provoking writing at its best! It will change your perspective of not only the setting of Warhammer itself but on how you perceive things in the real world.
After Desh'ea (Short Story) by Matthew Farrer - 9/10 - Really great end to the book. Angron is such an interesting character and it's great to see his first interactions with what will become his Legion.

An excellent selection of short stories!
I really enjoyed every one of these short stories. However, I particularly enjoyed Blood Games, Wolf at the Door, The Last Church & After Desh'ea.
There's such a wide and dynamic range of storytelling here which opened my eyes to a lot of how the early days of the Imperium, as well as the many sub divisions of administrations and chapters all work cogs within the greater Imperium of Man. I found this to be a nice little palette cleanser and semi-conclusion to the first 10 books of the Horus Heresy series and am eagerly loading up book 11 to carry on my journey into the Heresy.
Highly recommended - especially for Space Wolves fans - Wolf at the Door is a must!

Interesting anthology.
The contents of this anthology are as follows;
Blood Games by Dan Abnett
Wolf at the Door by Mike Lee
Scions of the Storm by Anthony Reynolds
The Voice by James Swallow
Call of the Lion by Gav Thorpe
The Last Church by Graham McNeill
After Desh'ea by Matthew Farrer
A very interesting selection of stories, from various times of the Imperium.
A couple I found to be weaker than others, but none were bad. It will come down to personal preference as to how the listener rates each tale. For the record, I think The Last Church was a wonderfully crafted story, and possibly my favourite.
Very recommended for fans of 40k books.

Definitely worth a listen
All the short stories add to, in some way, the grand plot of the horus heresy. The last 2 being the best. The narration is excellent and I found myself losing hours listening.

Good collection of stories
I like the books made up of short stories, although I wasn't that keen on one of them the rest more than made up for it.

Well worth a listen
A great set of short stories diving in to some sides of the 40k universe that isn't well known. Voice acting is brilliant

Some stories are great some are okay.
There are multiple short-stories in this book. Some I loved (the last church, for example), and some I thought were less interesting. I don't think there is anything in it that you will miss if you skipp this book.
