Galaxy in Flames

by Ben Counter · The Horus Heresy series

The betrayal reaches its apocalyptic climax as loyalist Space Marines are slaughtered on Isstvan III by their own brothers-in-arms. Chaos corrupts, fire rains from orbit, and the galaxy burns as Horus's treachery is revealed in full. Counter delivers brutal, operatic carnage and the death of hope.
