Galaxy in Flames (The Horus Heresy): No. 3

Product Information

Brotherhood of the Storm is a precursor to Scars ( Book 28). It focuses first on the budding friendship of Shiban and Torghun featured in Scars, as they wrap up the Chondax campaign. It also sheds light on Targutai Yesugei's psychic awakening on Chogoris and how he joined Jagahtai's khaganate. Finally, it records how Ilya Ravallion, the logistician from the Departmento Munitorum, came to join the White Scars. The final battle between the Emperor and the Warmaster, with the fate of the Imperium and all of humanity in the balance.

Heart of the Conqueror features the sacrifice of Nisha Andrasta, Navigator of the World Eater's flagship, Conqueror. On board, the Daemon Primarch Angron warps the machine spirit of Conqueror and infects the entire ship. While connected to the ship and sailing through the warp, Nisha ends her own life, tearing the Conqueror from the warp in a cascade of screaming, tortured metal. The Outcast Dead is the first novel-length story in the series to take place almost entirely on Terra. It covers a relatively short period, starting several months before Magnus' catastrophic psychic visit at the Imperial Palace ( Book 12), and concluding several months after this event. The unauthorised visit is central to the story: apart from damaging the Emperor's top secret project ( Book 1) and the planet's defense, it massively disrupts Terra's long-range communications infrastructure. The ensuing isolation and confusion cause indecision and delays for the Loyalist side. The story's main character is Kai Zulane, previously a gifted Imperial astropath attached to the Ultramarines Legion. He unwittingly becomes the keeper of a secret that could decide the victor in the developing galactic civil war. The secret has additional implications regarding the Heresy's conclusion and the future course of the Imperium of Man. "The Outcast Dead" are other protagonists: a small, disparate group of Space Marines suspected as traitors, with whom Zulane falls in during the second half of the book.

Early in the 31st millennium, the Galaxy is in the throes of the Great Crusade. Originating from Terra ( Earth), it is an interstellar crusade that claims the galaxy as the rightful domain of Humankind, and aims to reunite the multitude of scattered human colonies remaining from earlier space exploration under the domain of an "Imperium of Man". Organised in numerous expeditions, the Crusade fields huge fleets and vast armies; at its forefront, led by the Primarchs, are Legions of Space Marines– genetically enhanced supersoldiers numbering in the millions. Over the course of two Terran centuries, the Crusade has reached star systems more than 50,000 light years away from its original staging point in the Sol ( Solar) System, has assimilated millions of worlds into the Imperium, and has given Humankind a dominant position among the galaxy's species. Its grand mastermind is the "Emperor of Mankind", a mysterious superhuman of unknown origin.
