The End And The Death: Volume I (The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra Book 8)

Reviews

Idmoment

An examination of the human condition, and the angels and daemons within us, set upon the backdrop of the Siege of Terra and our species's fictionalised near extinction. It cements Dan Abnett not merely as the best 40k writer, but one of the greatest writers of all time. Great read

And there's a part II, imagine that, there is a part II! absorbed that I finished it in a single sitting, and I like to enjoy my books over at least a few days. Amazon is my least favourite fulfilment group for 40k books, having several times delivered hardbounds damaged with little more than the corporate equivalent of an "oopsie".

And it stayed with me, profoundly, changing my mind, my heart and soul. Now THIS is a BOOK!

War and humanity rendered into glory and tragedy, beautiful and horror. Can't wait to read!

There's a slight tear on the back which is a little annoying but nothing major. I couldn't put it down, I was so. . This finale is years of reading and emotional investment that is a crescendo of human culture and enlightenment.

The pinnacle of fantasy and science fiction written with a love of the written word, of all human endeavour and folly, reaching the heights of Shakespeare and the absurdity of Kafka, composed with the melancholy of Poe and the ability to compose thousands of years of humanity into moments like Herbert. That out of the way, Dan Abnett's writing is so superlative, sublime, majestic, complex and mind blowingly glorious that I'll give a 5 stars and not care about the torn jacket.
