Story
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl serves as a stalwart protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his duty, Crowl becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace. As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted.

The Shattered Legions crew of the Sisypheum, broken and at the end of their endurance, find themselves divided - torn between following their resurrected captain on a suicidal mission or obeying orders to return to Terra and rejoin their Legion brothers. Following a series of garbled messages intercepted by the Kryptos, the divided warriors descend to the shattered surface of Luna. Here, their bonds of loyalty, duty, and their devotion to one another will be tested as ancient horrors of the earliest days of gene-manipulation are unleashed, and a long-buried secret is revealed.

Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

Publisher's Summary
While loyalist and traitor forces clash on a thousand battlefields across the galaxy, a very different kind of war is being fought in the shadows - a war of subtlety and subterfuge, unknown to many, but one that surely holds the key to victory for either side.
Rogal Dorn and his Legion prepare to defend the Solar System against the armies of Warmaster Horus, even as Malcador the Sigillite charges his many agents and spies with missions of the utmost secrecy. The future of the Imperium is being shaped by unseen hands....

Small stories within a galaxy at war.
While better than most of the compilation books in the HH series, it still falls short on occasion. We get to see many faces both new and old, but many of the stories feel like snapshots rather than full pictures.

well narated but poor
honestly the worst of the heresy books i've either read or listened to, these short stories have no impact on the overall plot of the series and very little value to the setting as a whole. while some were interesting few held any substance, could have gone entirely unwritten, unpublushed, unread and unmissed.

More random stories
It seems like half of the heresy series is falsely advertised because when I but a book saying its from the horus heresy series I expect something this has some sort of addition to the over all plot. However I've come across like 10+books where its just random stories from around the heresy, this book is in the late 30s so thats like a third of this series. So a third of these books are a complete waste if time. Everytime I come across a book like this from black libary it makes me think so much less of them because instead of trying to write a good story they jusr pump out lots of crappy random short ones just to sell you more book. All it does is make black libary look like money grabbing cheats, which is funny because that's exactly what games work shop are. Something to think about

One of the better story collections
As for a shorter collection of stories, these ones are quite good. It also feels like you got a selection of most fulfilling ones as well, and with the best narrator for it. It feels like we are closing in for the Battle for Terra, so overall, give it a go if you got time. Fills some gaps or reminds you of what happened in the past without going too wide.

Grey Knights - Getting the band together
Was a bit put off at first when I read the first few reviews (never do, just plow through the Heresy) that the stories within were not connected to the overall or main story of the Heresy. While in a sense true, I found them good stories for fleshing out some events we've seen and hopefully will soon. Mr Keeble does a banging job and a lot of what made me like the book as a whole is thanks to him. A good listen!
