HORUS HERESY: HORUS RISING

A Horus Heresy Novel (Book 1)

Description

The golden age is at its peak. The seeds of heresy are about to be sown.

It is the 31st millennium. Under the benevolent leadership of the Immortal Emperor, the Imperium of Man has stretched across the galaxy in a glorious age of discovery and conquest. After centuries of relentless expansion, the human empire stands at its absolute zenith.

With his grand dream for humanity seemingly accomplished, the Emperor departs the front lines, heading back to Terra and entrusting the continuation of the Great Crusade to his favored son, Horus.

Promoted to the rank of Warmaster, can the idealistic and brilliant Horus carry out his father's grand design, or will this ultimate promotion spark jealousy and division among his genetic brothers? Horus Rising is the monumental first chapter in the epic saga of the Horus Heresy—a catastrophic galactic civil war that will threaten to bring about the total extinction of humanity.
