The Unremembered Empire

by Dan Abnett · The Horus Heresy series

The Astronomican fails, and Terra goes dark. Roboute Guilliman, ever the pragmatist, draws his forces to Ultramar and begins building a second Imperium — unaware that Terra still stands. The unthinkable has not happened, but the damage of believing it has may be just as catastrophic.
