Aurelian

The Horus Heresy Series

De: Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Narrado por: Toby Longworth

After the destruction of Monarchia and the Emperor's reprimanding of the Word Bearers Legion, the primarch Lorgar spent many long years searching the stars for the universal truths of the cosmos - when he finally came to gaze deep into the Eye of Terror, with grim inevitability he found that the Eye stared back.

Now, guided by the daemon Ingethel, he undertakes a spiritual journey into the heart of Chaos itself and sees that the entire destiny of mankind and the Imperium could rest upon just a few nexus events. As the Great Crusade burns itself out in treachery and deceit, Lorgar weighs the cost of his ambitions and sets his course for eternal damnation.

Good overall, gap filler

ADB once again shows a great understanding of Lorgars characterization and character progression. The warp jumping scenes make for a fun backdrop to Lorgar’s journey and initial interactions with Chaos. The story also serves to fill the gap between several plot lines between previous Horus Heresy Books such as The First Heretic, Fulgrim and A Thousand Sons. Though not a lot is lost if you haven’t read those it does add to the overall plot significance of the novella.

Eye of Terror

As someone new to 40k, this was really good. I like how The First Heretic and this book really explained The Eye of Terror. But the audio is really low. Not good for car rides or work. But great when painting.

Good, audio levels need a bump

A nice complement to First Heretic and Betrayer and a good performance. The audio is strangely quiet, however and probably not well suited to a car or somewhere you cannot turn it up a lot.

Not bad but not as good as others.

The begining was very slow linking itself the the Heresey series and never fully made a good connection but it did fill in some of the background info missing.

Aurelian’s Story

It’s a good fill in for the Heresy series. Explain a lot and how he became who he was during that period.
