About this listen

A Siege of Terra Anthology

Horus is dead. His Heresy is over. The scars of mankind’s great schism will never fully heal. For those left behind, a new Era of Ruin is dawning, promising both new beginnings and fresh peril for an Imperium riven by trauma and war.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

This is the final instalment of the Horus Heresy – but that was just the beginning of a much darker tale which will be 10,000 years in the telling. These short stories show us glimpses of the stories that spun out of the Siege of Terra as the fledgling Imperium put together the pieces after the galaxy-shattering destruction, and those who fought on both sides, as they try to move on from the unthinkable events of the bloody conflict.

THE STORY

In Chris Wraight’s Homebound, Ilya Ravallion must choose between the decimated White Scars and living out what remains of her life in peace. An embattled Ahzek Ahriman must race against time to learn what he can of the warp before its gates close to him forever in Ex Libris by John French.

Featuring tales from Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Guy Haley and many more, this anthology follows mighty Custodians, scheming sorcerers, and the lowly footsoldiers of the Imperial Army as all negotiate the devastating aftermath of Humanity's greatest reckoning.

good voice acting but the story focuses on random loose ends that didn't play huge roles in the heresy, waste of a credit.

no ground breaking revelations

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

filled in a few unanswered questions nothing crazy but good worth reading if you enjoyed the other books in the series.

good clean up

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Excellent performance and interesting story but was thinner then the other books. I know GW can deliver better.

Good but expected more

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

so many threads unresolved so many opportunities to finish stories like what happened to John gramaticus and other integral characters

loved to see the resolution of some stories

A decent entry into the Horus heresy. There wasn’t much here to be fair. The story is more of what we’ve read before in the series.

Just another continuation of the End and the Death

I made it. 60+ books. I did it! I am the warhammer 40,000

This was a good anthology all things considered.

Final book of HH. Perfection.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

You can skip this one unless you're a completionist. The stories end minor narrative arcs.

Not Necessary

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Please never let Shogo narrate another story. He is so flat and droning. It’s a jarring shift from the dynamic emotional reading we get from Johnathan Keeble and Toby Longworth. Most of the stories are interesting enough but by the throne this narration nearly put me to sleep.

“Okay” Stories

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Wraps up some of the best character arcs beautifully, in such a fittingly depressing way. I will say that the White Scars are some of my favorite good guys.

Who knew victory could be so depressing?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Some of the stories are a bit lackluster in their epic value that the siege brought. Though this was a great introduction into a new saga and opens up new storylines for ‘The Scouring’ to come and of the unknown gates of different Primarchs.

Great Anthology
