Publisher's summary

Siege of Terra, Book 2

The Solar War is over. The Siege of Terra has begun. As the Traitors unleash their deadliest weapons, the defenders of the Throneworld face nightmare and plague - but Terra must stand.

Listen to it because: discover the lengths to which Horus will go to claim Terra as his own - and the horrors he is willing to set upon its defenders.

The story: on the 13th day of Secundus, the bombardment of Terra began. With the solar defences overcome through the devastating strength of the Traitor armada and the power of the warp, Horus launches his assault on the Throneworld in earnest. After withstanding a ferocious barrage of ordnance, an immense ground war commences outside the Palace, with every inch gained paid for in the lives of billions. The front lines are beyond horrific, and the very air is reduced to poison and blood. Bodies are thrown into the meat grinder, but the outer redoubts cannot possibly hold for long, even with the loyal primarchs to reinforce them.

For Horus has his own generals to call upon. Between the plague weapons of Mortarion and the fury of Angron, the defenders face a losing battle.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

5/5

One of the best Horus Hersey novels and how the Siege of Terra should’ve started. Plot lines of primarchs to the lowest ranked soldiers were expertly interwoven. Due to the immense pressure of the situation the primarchs have finally been humanized… or completely turned into monsters. Very excited for the rest of the series now.

Like a lot, but had some hiccups

on chapter 3 of the next book, and I am finding that one better, this one was good but there were flow problems.

VERY VAUGE example, when there is a shadow or feeling, or vibe that affects a battle field keep going.... don't just jump to.... OH THIS IS HAPPENING at the same time. It is easy to write in as a struggle here happened, this planet or moon was undersiege. I think 2 or 3 times it is done WELL, but 2 or 3 times done badly

much better

This was much more exciting than the previous book. Lots of players and plots that keep the story moving. I listened to it every chance I got.

Expertly constructed narrative on multiple levels

It's refreshing to get the perspective of this struggle from the lowest ranks to the most powerful Primarch, and on both sides as well. This is definitely part of a larger narrative, of course, but the stand alone story is well-constructed. The vocal performance is unsurprisingly superb.

enjoyable

I've been enjoying the series as a whole and the reader? narrator? whatever is the right title for him, does a great job of conveying the emotion behind the words.

Among the Best!

The depth of each character in the writing and the delivery of narration is among the best I’ve read or listened to in the 40k universe. It was a truly enjoyable experience. I do prefer the SFX with larger scale stories like this but if think this was still an outstanding story that takes you into the brutality, helplessness and hopelessness of “Great War”. Feels like something you can apply to our world in order to understand the sacrifice of war more completely.

The action picks up as the war focuses on Holy Terra

Battle sequences are described well with viewpoints of several individual characters. I especially liked the character-building beyond the familiar primarchs and heroes/traitors.

Great book and voice work

The story was compelling which was only bettered by the narrators efforts to bring these characters to life.
