THE STORY

After seven years of relentless war, the end of the conflict known as the Horus Heresy is finally at hand. Terra now lies in the sights of the Warmaster, on the Throneworld and the seat of his father's dominion. Horus's desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the complete submission of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and gathered a formidable army with which to impose his will and vengeance.

But the road to the Throne will be difficult as the commander Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defenses. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bastions that reside there. To gain even a toehold on Terran soil, he must first face the Solar War. Thus begins the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind. Written by John French.
