Summary
Long considering themselves persecuted by the rest of the Imperium, the apostles of the XVIIth Legion have courted sedition, betrayal and even open heresy for decades.
But for Kurtha Sedd of the Third Hand Chapter, the Word Bearers' assault on Calth has proven...troubling. Drawn into the haunted shadows of the planet's underworld, the Chaplain and his devout brethren must now put aside all other concerns and continue to wage war against the Ultramarines, no matter the ultimate cost.

Practically Perfect Horus Heresy Novella. Bloody Brilliant!
After the first book of this duology I was not expecting this to pop out of the Warp, put a Vengeance Cannon against my head and absolutely blow my mind!
I truly cannot fathom why so many ratings and reviews for this are so tepid.
I've listened to around 40 hours of audiobooks and audio dramas covering Monarchia through the Battle of Calth and the Underworld War to Gage's Wild Ride and Kor Phaeron finding new digs, and this is absolutely up there with Know No Fear, Calth That Was, and The Underworld War, as well as having some of the greatest reflections and reactions to the razing of the Perfect City and the shaming of the XVII, a Son of Lorgar with enough depth, character, and emotion to rival Argal Tal, and just some of the richest and visceral touches and details around the rituals of Chaos and all things heretical.
I am flabbergasted that this literally did everything I said the last book lacked and eschewed everything I took issue with. I no way does this feeling like a rushed, unplanned tie-in to a box set.
I absolutely intend to do more of a deep dive review because I have a lot to say and I truly think this book deserves the praise and recognition I think it deserves because I am positively giddy with how good this was and how happy it made me!

Astartes feel real and fallable
When the plan doesn't go as planned even astartes have doubts. Brilliant book great insight into the word bearer kurtha skhed and how he reacts and realises his potential.
